We were planning for our lunar orbital mission "dearMoon" to take place in 2023, but seems like it will take a little longer.

Disappointed, but unsurprised, given the challenges facing the Starship/Super Heavy programme.

Will anyone even land on the moon, in a Starship variant, before 2030?

A better question would be (with apologies to Neil Armstrong), "Will anyone return to Earth alive after landing on the moon, in a Starship variant, before 2030?"

Remember, it is not just landing, but getting home too!
