Moon Landing Will Happen
in 2024, NASA Says The 2024 deadline for
American astronauts to
return to the moon was set by
the Trump administration in 2019. NASA had previously been
planning for a return to the moon by 2028. The newly-hired NASA administrator for
human exploration says that he is
"highly confident [NASA] can
make [the new deadline]." NASA is currently building a
new rocket and astronaut capsule. NASA's greatest issue regarding the
mission is the moon lander that will carry
astronauts from lunar orbit to the lunar surface. Dan Loverro, NASA, via NPR News The last moon landing
occurred in 1972.
