NASA has just scrubbed its planned landing on the moon in 2027 amid a series of struggles to launch the Artemis II spacecraft this month.
Space agency administrator Jared Isaacman revealed on Friday that Artemis III, which had been scheduled to touch down on the lunar surface next year, will now only circle the moon - pushing a potential landing mission to 2028 at the earliest.
Artemis II, the mission that was supposed to take off on February 8, continues to experience fueling issues that have pushed back its 10-day trek to orbit the moon until April.
The shocking scheduling shakeup comes as NASA critics and conspiracy theorists claim the space agency has been delaying the much anticipated moon missions to hide the presence of ancient structures previously found on the moon's dark side.
The US government has maintained that no definitive evidence of extraterrestrial life has ever been found, and the presence if an unknown civilization on the moon has not been proven.
However, multiple authors, scientists and UFO researchers have claimed without evidence that NASA has concealed astronaut reports of buildings located on the side of the moon facing away from Earth which could be tens of thousands of years old.
Officially, Isaacman said the reason for the cancelled moon landing was to help NASA standardize the equipment and systems used in these launches so the agency could conduct more missions quicker in the future.
Once Artemis II completes its mission this year, Isaacman revealed that Artemis III will now conduct a similar flight in 2027 and the newly-added Artemis IV mission will have the honor of landing on the moon approximately 10 months later in 2028.
This is a breaking story. More details to follow.

In a video released by Isaacman, the space agency chief said: 'NASA must standardize its approach, increase flight rate safely, and execute on the President’s national space policy.'
'With credible competition from our greatest geopolitical adversary increasing by the day, we need to move faster, eliminate delays, and achieve our objectives,' he continued.
'Standardizing vehicle configuration, increasing flight rate and progressing through objectives in a logical, phased approach, is how we achieved the near-impossible in 1969 and it is how we will do it again.'
