Delays to NASA moon mission signal concern for future
NASA's Artemis program is facing more setbacks, administrators announced this week. Artemis II, which will launch astronauts around the moon, was originally scheduled for November 2024, then September 2025 and has been delayed again until April 2026. Artemis III, which will land astronauts on the moon, was originally scheduled for late 2025, then September 2026 and has been delayed again until mid-2027. Meanwhile, a former astronaut is expressing concern about NASA's decision to use in the next flight the same heat shield that failed in the last one. Dr. Don Platt, associate professor of space systems and director of the Spaceport Education Center at Florida Institute of Technology, joined FOX 35 News+ to weigh in on the delays and concerns and what it all means for the future of America's space program.
