In fact, in just a few short months, things will be back on track and the delay can proceed as scheduled. That will give them plenty of time for a redesign, as long as there are no delays in testing. I'm hopeful!
Reviving this thread to mention this article from today's New York Times. Wow I'm totally shocked.
Quote:NASA Artemis Moon Missions Delayed Until 2026 and 2027
Dec. 5, 2024, 1:20 p.m. ET
NASA on Thursday postponed a mission to send four astronauts around the moon and back to Earth until April 2026.
The move is the latest setback for Artemis, the government space agency’s return-to-the-moon program, which has already faced years of delays.
A subsequent mission to land astronauts near the south pole of the moon is now scheduled for mid-2027, Bill Nelson, the NASA administrator, said during a news conference on Thursday.
The adjustment to the Artemis schedule comes as the Mr. Nelson prepares to leave the agency when President-elect Donald J. Trump returns to the White House in January.

Oh no space fans! Don't worry, we'll get there.
It is unclear whether this delay is part of the previously scheduled delay or is the result of a new previously-unseen setback in the delay schedule.
