- fernandopj 2y agoEven the Sep 2025 mission around the Moon seems unrealistic TBH
- danso 2y agoAs of December, the earliest mission date is 2027: https://www.nasa.gov/news-release/nasa-shares-orion-heat-shield-findings-updates-artemis-moon-missions/ https://www.nasa.gov/news-release/nasa-shares-orion-heat-shi... > For the Artemis II crewed test flight, engineers will continue to prepare Orion with the heat shield already attached to the capsule. The agency also announced it is now targeting April 2026 for Artemis II and mid-2027 for Artemis III. The updated mission timelines also reflect time to address the Orion environmental control and life support systems.
