The program, aimed at returning humans to the lunar surface by 2025, has been plagued by technical issues and schedule slips. The latest hiccup has pushed the rocket's maiden voyage to the moon, known as Artemis I, to an uncertain date. As the US space agency struggles to get back on track, critics are questioning whether the program can meet its ambitious deadline and what this means for the future of lunar exploration.
