NASA is pushing back its schedule for Artemis 2 to September 2025, with the Artemis 3 mission, which will land the first humans on the moon since the 1970s, delayed to September 2026.  NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory lays off 100 contractors as part of a  cost-cutting effort. Astrobotic says there’s no chance of soft landing Peregrine on the moon, and more.
