NASA administrator Bill Nelson has said Donald Trump's plan to put humans on the moon by 2024 via the Artemis program was unrealistic. "The target is 2025," he told Newsweek. "2024 was set by the Trump administration and that was never a realistic goal."

NASA is about to launch its first test flight of its moon-bound Space Launch System (SLS) rocket and crew-capable Orion spacecraft on Monday, August 29.
