All Things Space, UFOs, etc.NASA scrubs 2027 moon landing mission as wild claims of ancient megalithic city on lunar surface emerge Posted on March 16, 2026 by Administrator NASA has scrubbed its plans to land on the moon in 2027 amid a series of struggles to launch the Artemis II spacecraft this month. Space agency administrator Jared Isaacman revealed on Friday that Artemis III, which had been scheduled to touch down on the lunar surface next year, will now only circle the moon – pushing a potential landing mission to 2028 at the earliest. Meanwhile, its predecessor, Artemis II, initially scheduled to take off on February 8, continues to experience fueling issues that have pushed back its ten-day trek to orbit the moon to April.
