"Conspiracy theories have been reignited online, after NASA announced its historic moon mission has been delayed yet again. This morning, NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman announced that the Artemis II mission will be pushed back to March after the wet dress rehearsal failed at the last minute. While Mr Isaacman says this is a sign that safety testing is working according to plan, this is far from the first delay to NASA's lunar ambition."
"The latest delay has whipped internet-dwelling conspiracy theorists into a frenzy. On X, one commenter vented: 'Lmao always a delay. This ain't happening.' Another added: 'I told you guys they would find a reason to cancel their fake trip to the moon'. After NASA announced that Artemis II would not fly until March at the very earliest, critics flocked to social media to share their outrage."
NASA announced that the Artemis II mission was delayed to March after a wet dress rehearsal failed at the last minute. Administrator Jared Isaacman said the delay indicates safety testing is working as intended. Artemis II had been planned for mid-2025 and Artemis III was expected to land American astronauts by the end of this year, but prior safety concerns during the uncrewed Artemis I flyby pushed the programme back a year. The latest postponement sparked widespread social media criticism and conspiracy theorizing. Commenters voiced distrust in the program, accused NASA of repeated delays, and questioned the authenticity of lunar missions.
