NO WAYY

@PeriodicAerospace well they planned to land back on the moon by 2025, so those “plans” keep changing. I was mostly curious as to weather or not anyone’s heard any good outline for when they realistically expect to do a lunar test landing of HLS (not general “early/mid/late insert year” projections).

I’ll start getting excited at that point (when the thing is actually on its way to the moon to see if it can land). Otherwise I’ve been hearing “return to the moon” date being tossed around since 2006.

@YaMomzBox420 yeah a year or so seems a bit optimistic given they still gotta build HLS and then refuel it in orbit 5-50 times before it can be on its way. As far as I know they don’t even have final design for the HLS yet……

My best hopes are maybe 3-5 years …..

@YaMomzBox420 well maybe 2 years, Nasa plans to use HLS in 2026

@PeriodicAerospace That's what they said 10 years ago 🤦

@Toinkove A year or so....

So how long till we get an HLS fueled up, en route to the moon and ready for a landing?
