The delay also affects Artemis-3 moon landing, now planned for 2027. NASA Administrator Bill Nelson said the mission is still ahead of China's moon landing plans in 2030. NASA on Thursday delayed sending astronauts back to the moon in a setback for its Artemis program, which is already several years late and billions over budget. The Artemis 2 mission, which plans to fly astronauts to the moon and back, has been pushed back from September 2025 to April 2026. With Trump's nomination of billionaire Jared Isaacman as NASA's next administrator, concerns are growing about the future of Artemis and NASA's lunar strategy.

So, the decision to keep Butch and Suni aboard the International Space Station, and bring the Boeing Starliner home un-crewed, is a result of a commitment to safety." Both Boeing and SpaceX have spent a decade working with NASA on their Starliner and Crew Dragon vehicles, respectively. AdvertisementAfter years of delays, technical issues, and rising costs, this Crew Flight Test was the last hurdle Boeing had to clear for NASA to certify Starliner for human spaceflight.

A blinding flash of light over Kyiv on Wednesday remains unexplained. Ukraine officials had originally blamed a satellite NASA that was falling back down to Earth. The flash lit up the sky minutes before the air raid alarm was triggered in the city, causing concern among residents. Popko suggested that the flash had been caused by a satellite NASA had said was due to plummet back to Earth, per the BBC. But US officials and experts have denied the satellites' implication in the Kyiv flash.
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla., Nov 15 (Reuters) - Ground teams at Kennedy Space Center prepared on Tuesday for a third try at launching NASA's towering, next-generation moon rocket, the debut flight of the U.S. space agency's Artemis lunar program, 50 years after Apollo's last moon mission. NASA flight-readiness crews were eager for success after 10 weeks beset by engineering difficulties, two hurricanes and two trips from the spacecraft's hangar to its launch pad. Two previous launch attempts, on Aug. 29 and Sept. 3, were aborted because of fuel line leaks and other technical problems that NASA has since resolved. While moored to its launch pad last week, the rocket endured fierce winds and rains from Hurricane Nicole, forcing a two-day flight postponement. NASA defends the program as a boon to space exploration that has generated tens of thousands of jobs and billions of dollars in commerce.
