SpaceX's lunar lander has run into a snag and may not be ready for a mission to the moon that was scheduled for 2027, according to a report by Space News. “The HLS schedule is significantly challenged and, in our estimation, could be years late for a 2027 Artemis 3 moon landing,” said NASA safety analyst Paul Hill following a visit to SpaceX's Starbase facility.
