USA: NASA will not send a manned flight to the moon until 2025 |

NASA will not send a manned flight to the moon until 2025, delaying by one year the deadline set during the presidency of Donald Trump, which was generally considered “impossible to meet”, the New York Times writes today, citing the director of the service.

“We estimate no earlier than 2025 for Artemis 3, which will be the manned spacecraft in the first demonstration of a manned lunar landing system won by SpaceX,” NASA Administrator Bill told a news conference. Nelson.

Nelson was appointed by President Joe Biden to head the space agency. NASA plans to send humans to the moon for the first time since the 1970s.

Biden had agreed to continue the US Artemis program, which began during Trump’s presidency to send astronauts to the Moon by 2024, which was intended to be a prelude to an even more ambitious human landing on Mars in the future.

NASA was waiting for the resolution of a legal dispute between SpaceX and Blue Origin over the development of a human landing system on the Moon to announce a new schedule.

“We lost almost seven months in litigation and that probably delayed the lunar eclipse to 2025 at the earliest,” Bill Nelson told a news conference.
