Story Brief

Artemis 3 slips to late 2027 as Starship and Blue Moon lag, delaying NASA's lunar return timeline and jeopardizing a 2028 moon landing.

NASA's goal for a 10-month launch cadence is being held up by SpaceX and Blue Origin.

Artemis 2 enchanted the world in the beginning of April, when its crew of four astronauts flew a 10-day mission around the moon and back to Earth.
