Back in 2019, the White House announced that America would aim to return humans to the surface of the moon by 2024. The goal to get there remains but there have been setbacks.
Artemis is the name of this long-term exploration program which is ultimately intended to position us to go beyond the moon to Mars. Its top priority is safety. Artemis 2 is the next in its series of missions, the first to include crew though they won't actually land.
According to the Administrator of NASA, Artemis 2's new target date has been delayed until September of 2025, with missions 3-5 to follow. Nobody didn't see this coming. Some have already expressed their lack of confidence in the new date.
