Nasa aborts second launch attempt of Artemis Moon rocket BBC News
US space agency Nasa has aborted its launch of the Artemis Moon rocket for a second time in a week after controllers discovered a leak in its hydrogen tank. Engineers couldn t repair the issue in time to allow the launch to go ahead this weekend and will now look to Monday next week for a possible launch. The first launch was postponed after controllers struggled to get an engine on the 100mtall vehicle cooled down to its correct operating temperature. The maiden flight, part of Nasa s Artemis programme, is just a demonstration with no one on board. But ever more complex missions are planned for the future that will see people live on the lunar surface for weeks at a time. Please subscribe HERE , Nasa, Artemis, BBCNews
