Because of anticipated delays in spacesuit development, it is "not feasible" for NASA to land humans on the moon by the agency's hopeful deadline of 2024, a new report from the agency's Office of Inspector General (OIG) has found.

In this new report, which the OIG's Office of Audits released on Tuesday (Aug. 10), NASA's Inspector General has audited the agency's development of next-generation spacesuits, called the Exploration Extravehicular Mobility Unit (xEMU). NASA is creating the suits to be worn and used as part of the agency's Artemis program, which the agency has said will return humans to the lunar surface by 2024. However, according to this evaluation, that timeline is not only unlikely, but even impossible.

"NASA's current schedule is to produce the first two flight-ready xEMUs by November 2024, but the agency faces significant challenges in meeting this goal," the audit reads. However, it adds, given anticipated delays in spacesuit development, "a lunar landing in late 2024 as NASA currently plans is not feasible."

given anticipated delays

If they are anticipated they should be part of the plan and not delays.

Oh for goodness sake, NASA. Send me the fabric, thread, and their measurements. I'll have them made in a week.

Sigh. Another boondoggle gone awry.

Sounds like a budget issue. Looks like the ask here.

My guess is they can't get the powerful video cards they'll need to fake the moon landings convincingly.

Someone needs to update their Nuke software!
