NASA may postpone the lunar landing of astronauts planned for 2028 due to delays by the contractor Axiom Space, writes the Washington Post. The company does not have time to prepare new generation spacesuits for the mission. To meet the deadline, the agency decided to reduce the set of features of the equipment, and as a result its capabilities will be similar to the space suits of the Apollo missions of the 1960s. The possible delay of the program increases China's chances of becoming the first country to land men on the moon in the 21st century.
