Briefing

What Hype is tracking

  • A 2028 landing target frames the timeline for NASA’s crewed lunar exploration plans; the 1972 Apollo 17 mission was the last time astronauts walked on the Moon.
  • The report provides no details on mission architecture, vehicles or milestones, so it offers a date target rather than new program specifics.
