NASA is targeting late 2025 for Artemis 3, which seems optimistic.

On that note, NASA also has the option to use these suits for spacewalks outside the orbital lab. In terms of other possible hurdles, SpaceX still needs to launch its Starship megarocket and prove to NASA that it’s safe and capable of landing astronauts on the Moon.
