SpaceX's lunar lander has run into a snag and may not be ready for a mission to the moon that was scheduled for 2027, according to a report by Space News . The company's Starship Human Landing System (HLS) is a variant of the typical Starship spacecraft that has been designed to transport astronauts between lunar orbit and the surface of the moon. “The HLS schedule is significantly challenged and, in our estimation, could be years late for a 2027 Artemis 3 moon landing,” said NASA safety analyst Paul Hill following a visit to SpaceX's Starbase facility. The country has developed its own lunar vehicle called Lanyue that could land on the surface by 2030. Also, this isn't the first time the Elon Musk-owned SpaceX has missed deadlines regarding a return to the moon.
