READING NOW NASA announced: Landing on the Moon in 2025 is unlikely
Initial plans to land a man on the Moon in 2024 were later changed to 2025, and now this mission has been moved to 2026. The delay of the moon landing has been caused by the failed tests of SpaceX’s Starship rocket. Because the first prototype of Starship exploded a few minutes after launch. Sending humans to the Moon with this rocket will require multiple test flights, which will take much longer.

Worrying at the moment

“December 2025 is our current date, but given the challenges SpaceX is facing, I think it’s very, very worrying. So it’s probably 2026,” said Jim Free, NASA’s deputy director for such missions on Wednesday, June 7. You can think of the fact that it will also happen.” used his statements.

Since this statement was made during a meeting of the National Academy of Sciences Aeronautics and Space Technology Board and the Space Research Board, it can be considered an established view of NASA administration.

New test flight scheduled for August

SpaceX will not test Starship simply by launching it into orbit. To prove the safety of such an operation, he would need to send it to the Moon without a crew. The company will also need to build the orbital infrastructure to refuel the rocket so it can reach the Moon’s orbit. Despite all this, SpaceX still does not have a rocket to fly Starship.

The first launch in April of this year was disastrous and the launch pad was partially destroyed. Another test flight is scheduled for August at the latest, but that may not happen if human rights and environmental groups voice doubts that SpaceX can launch the Starship in a human and environmentally friendly way.
