“We estimate that Artemis 3, the first lander since the 1970s to reach the moon carrying humans, will not reach the moon before 2025,” he explained, noting that the lawsuit in billionaire Jeff Bezos’ Blue Origin lawsuit against the U.S. administration’s decision to sign a contract At $ 2.9 billion with billionaire Elon Musk’s SpaceX company, it’s one of the reasons for the delay. During the seven months of the hearing, the agency was unable to work with Spice X on the project.
