(Cape Canaveral, FL) - NASA is now looking at a March launch of Artemis 2, its new moon rocket after fuel leaks popped up during a diagnostic test.
During what's called a wet dress rehearsal, ground crews discovered a liquid hydrogen leak in the core stage of the massive rocket.
There are only a few days set aside each month when the crew can liftoff on for the planned ten-day round-trip mission around the far side of the moon.
The four astronauts, who were in a two-week quarantine will exit and then re-enter it again “about two weeks” before the next launch window for the trip around the moon.
The space agency says the delay will “allow teams to review data and conduct a second wet dress rehearsal” scheduled to take place before the next launch window opens on March 6th.
