US astronaut moon landing 'not feasible' by 2024: NASA inspector general
Fox News
NASA's target of landing humans on the moon by 2024 as part of its Artemis program is "not feasible," according to a report from the agency's Office of Inspector General (OIG) released earlier this week.
The report noted that NASA's schedule bumped into a 20-month delay in delivery for the design, verification, testing suit, two qualification suits, an ISS Demo suit and two lunar flight suits. The delays, which the office attributes to technical difficulties, the impact of the coronavirus pandemic and funding shortfalls, have not left any margin for delivery of the flight-ready xEMUs, it noted.More Related News
