Can't wait for this to happen. Purely for the flat earthers on YouTube. Can hear the cries of it's all CGI and fake now.

Exciting times.

The #Artemis I mission to the Moon has been postponed. Teams attempted to fix an issue related to a leak in the hardware transferring fuel into the rocket, but were unsuccessful. Join NASA leaders later today for a news conference. Check for updates: youtu.be/JWAA5P-iFJs

50 years on and here We go again. After watching the Apollo 11 and the other moon landings after, its taken this long. Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin would be pleased. I wonder if they will land near the moon rover and take it for a drive cross the lunar landscape. haha.
As Buzz would say, One small step for man , one giant leap for mankind, and sod the expense.

NHC is currently predicting hurricane conditions for the Florida peninsula for early next week so I’d be surprised if they don’t announce a roll back at the next briefing. I think they’d be hard pushed to get it back out there for the 3rd October (I think) launch opp, better safe than not at all!

EDIT - latest track shows it will miss that part of Florida so fingers crossed for the 2nd October - unless anything changes again. It's nice to be wrong!
