With The Delays, The Expected Human Return to The Satellite Is Moving Further Away, While NASA Prioritizes Safety and Technical Adjustments.

The long-awaited human return to the Moon, which has not happened since 1972, has been officially postponed by NASA. The Artemis 2 and Artemis 3 missions, which will mark the historic return, have experienced significant delays. The first team of new astronauts on the Moon is now expected to launch only in 2027.

Since December 19, 1972, no human has stepped on the lunar surface. The three astronauts of Apollo 17 ended an era of exploration, but NASA has ambitious plans to change that. However, last week, the agency confirmed that the Artemis missions, scheduled to rewrite the history of space exploration, will have their dates changed.

NASA Will Fly Around The Moon First

After 55 Years, NASA Prepares New Astronauts on The Moon, But First Landing Now Only in 2027 — The Artemis 2 crew includes Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover, Christina Koch (all from NASA), and Jeremy Hansen (from the Canadian Space Agency).

Artemis 2, which will carry four astronauts on a flight around the Moon, initially planned for September 2025, has been postponed to April 2026. Meanwhile, Artemis 3, which will finally land new astronauts on the Moon, is now expected in mid-2027, without a specific date set.

“Space is demanding,” said Bill Nelson, NASA administrator, during a press conference. According to him, the adjustments are necessary to ensure that the Orion capsule is fully prepared to safely carry astronauts into deep space and bring them back.

The main focus is on the thermal shield of the Orion capsule. During NASA’s tests on the Artemis 1 mission, conducted in late 2022, uneven degradation of the material was observed upon reentering Earth’s atmosphere. Although the internal temperature remained stable, engineers prefer to prevent any failure by adjusting the reentry trajectory and bringing the capsule’s landing spot closer to the Pacific Ocean off San Diego, California.

First Mission of Female Astronauts and Black People to Visit The Moon

Artemis 3 promises to be a historic milestone: it will be the first mission to take female astronauts and black people to visit the Moon. While the crew for this mission has yet to be defined, the names for Artemis 2 have already been announced. Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover, Christina Koch (all from NASA), and Jeremy Hansen (from Canada) are undergoing intensive training, including in Iceland, where they simulate lunar surface conditions for the 2026 journey.

Even with the delays, the human return to the Moon carries a unique excitement and reinforces the importance of safety in every detail. After all, when the new astronauts finally arrive at the lunar satellite, it will be a moment to be etched in the history of space exploration, and of course, in our hearts. “Let’s make it happen!” It may take a few more years, but NASA assures that the wait will be worth it.

First Mission of Female Astronauts and Black People to Visit The Moon

China has been trying for 13 years to build a railway in the Gobi Desert to reach Mongolia, and there are still 20 kilometers left that no one can finish due to a problem that seems impossible to solve.

For 45 years, Spain and Morocco have been trying to connect Europe to Africa through a project of just 14 kilometers in the Strait of Gibraltar, and an active tectonic fault on the seabed continues to make the project nearly impossible.

At just 14 years old, a boy creates a system without energy, using steel pipes buried in the ground, that irrigates seedlings with moisture from the air, to combat the water scarcity threatening reforestation in northern China.

Where there was only sand and wind at 40 degrees, China built a megacity of 500,000 inhabitants with farms, wineries, and universities in the middle of the desert using melted glacier water from hundreds of kilometers away.

A traffic police robot has started operating at a school, technology from Omoda & Jaecoo expands the use of artificial intelligence in smart cities.

Japan has spread 5,700 km of cables on the seabed, transformed fibers into giant sensors, and can now detect earthquakes before the strongest waves.

Dubai transforms up to 57,000 m³ of biogas per day into electricity: a mega sewage plant converts the city’s waste, generates 44,250 MWh per year, and covers half of its own operation.
