Nasa postpones Artemis 1 launch after hydrogen leak

Nasa has postponed the launch of Artemis I after a hydrogen leak.

The uncrewed test flight of its colossal new rocket, which should have happened on Sunday (29 August), was to be the first step in a plan to send humans back to the moon fifty years after the Apollo landings.

However, the launch was scrubbed due to technical issues throughout the day and with Nasa crews unable to fix the engine bleed, the earliest launch window is set for Friday, September 2.

Just apply some super glue to where it’s leaking.

Vintage engines are like that, maybe the "Space Cowboys" could have come in with a 2" open ender and a roll of duck tape (duck tape back last century) and get engine three unblocked 😃
Maybe NASA should let go of the heydays and start focusing on mission management, sort of like the FAA of space.
BTW, I'm disappointed the SLS didn't get of the ground, I feel we are at a time where humanity moves beyond the fear of limited resources.

Isn't Artemis the name of a demon?

Why won't they just launch it and see what happens?

August? Is this some kind of anniversary?

Maybe its a sign that we should fix this planet first before we go to the moon or another planet and balls that up.

Man will never “return” to the moon - I predict NASA will come up with all sorts of responses why man cannot reach the moon....because we never did! 😕

The Chinese don't seem to have any issues when they launch their rockets, they go up perfectly

What a shame, was looking forward to it exploding on the launch pad when the countdown reached zero
