This has raised concerns for the future of SpaceX’s ambitious endeavors. Is SpaceX in big trouble? Stay tuned as we dive into this problem and more in this episode of Alpha Tech! The south pole of the moon is a stunning place. Towering mountains are bathed in perpetual sunshine, and the lunar dust, fine as powder, gleams in unfiltered light. Plunging craters exist in permanent shadow and hide pockets of ice in their gray rock, the water frozen and undisturbed for as long as three billion years. Here, somewhere along this silent terrain, NASA wants to land a new crew of astronauts. Like those who came before, these visitors will suit up and go for a walk, their bodies bouncing in the low gravity. But, that lunar stroll won’t happen anytime soon, it could be delayed longer. Speaking at an Aug. 8 briefing at the Kennedy Space Center, Jim Free, NASA associate administrator for exploration systems development, said the Artemis 3 mission still has a formal launch date of December 2025 but that he was monitoring potential delays in hardware needed for the mission.
