Already 4 years past due for the mission and yet we can not land let alone get there still.

GAO is saying 2027? beyond the 2026 During U.S. midterm election other hints in news say stuff gets pushed to 2028 ...

Don’t count on NASA to return humans to the Moon in 2025 or 2026, GAO says
https://arstechnica.com/space/2023/12/g … p-to-2027/

In its report last week, the GAO said that, if history is any guide, the Artemis III mission is unlikely to launch before 2027. It's no surprise that the Human Landing System and new lunar spacesuits are the two biggest risks to the schedule. Both pieces of the architecture are required for a crew lunar landing, but not for the Artemis II mission, a flight officially slated for late 2024 but more likely to happen in 2025, which will send four astronauts on a trip around the far side of the Moon in an Orion spacecraft.

For the Artemis III landing mission and subsequent expeditions to the lunar surface, astronauts will depart Earth on NASA's Space Launch System rocket and fly on Orion to the vicinity of the Moon, where they will link up with commercial landing craft supplied by SpaceX or Blue Origin. SpaceX has the contract for the first two landers.
