NASA plans to put astronauts on the lunar surface in early 2028. The Artemis program has faced numerous delays since its announcement in 2010. NASA has contracted lunar landers to Blue Origin and SpaceX, but neither has produced a finished product. SpaceX's Starship rocket has seen measured success in testing but is not ready. Experts are skeptical about the timeline, citing NASA's history of delays and the lack of ready lunar landers. The Artemis III mission, scheduled for next year, will now launch to Earth orbit and practice docking with a lunar lander instead of landing on the moon.
