Brief: NASA May Delay Moon Launch

CAPE CANAVERAL – The Orlando Sentinel reports that budget pressures could delay America’s return to the moon to past a previously discussed date of 2020. The story says that NASA’s internal plans had called for Ares V to go to the moon in 2018, though the agency had announced a public goal of 2020.

Internal deadlines are used by NASA to keep programs on track and to provide a margin of error for developmental problems.

But because of growing budget woes, the agency is resetting its internal date to 2020.
