Watch: NASA holds news conference after Artemis I mission to the moon scrubbed

NASA's Artemis I mission, scheduled to launch Monday to take an Orion capsule with three test dummies to the moon and back, was scrubbed because of chronic fuel leaks and an engine problem during final preparations.

The next flight window from Florida's Kennedy Space Center is Friday if NASA determines the rocket was ready. NASA officials were expected to hold a briefing on the path forward at around noon today.

"Safety is always first," NASA tweeted. "Following today's #Artemis I launch attempt, @NASAArtemis teams are working through an issue with engine number 3, and expect to give a news briefing later today."

NASA struggled to fuel the rocket with nearly 1 million gallons of hydrogen and oxygen because of a leak of highly explosive hydrogen, a problem that also flared up during testing last spring.

  2. We are all sinners and in need of our savior, JESUS. Start living for Jesus Christ, drop all distractions of this world. Don’t focus your attention on politicians and Govt. Focus your attention on Jesus Christ only. Place Jesus FIRST in your lives. God has been trying to talk to you, but you have been ignoring him. He sees what you are going through, he is waiting on you to fully surrender so he can make the change that you NEED. You just need to give your life to him or rededicate yourself again ❤️.Because of our sin, we are separated from God. You can’t call yourself a Christian and you claim to love Jesus Christ and still be acting like the world ( For example Homosexual relationship (It is a sin, It is Lust not love), Makeup, wearing wigs, gossiping, Witchcraft, Lying, abortion, patronizing tarot/psychic readers, using cuss words. Friendship with the world is enmity with God.We are supposed to follow Jesus’s examples everyone. God calls us to live a genuine Holy, Righteous, Faithful, Truthful, Obedience, and Godly Lives everyone. The things of this world doesn’t benefit your soul, Jesus Christ can save your soul. Hunger and thirst for Jesus Christ, just as you hunger for food and water. Have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ by reading the bible, praying and repenting of your sin everyday. Come to Jesus Christ today and leave all worldliness behind. Flee from worldy gains and worldly entertainment. This world and all the things that is in the world will soon be destroyed, will disappear. Humble yourselves before your Heavenly Father and ask him to forgive you of all of your sins. Repent of your sin and be born again, Rapture is imminent. You don’t know when you are going to die, Repent of your sin today because tomorrow is not promised. Don’t end up in hellfire because you love your sin, the sinful pleasure is only temporary that will only send the sinner to hellfire. Invite Jesus Christ into your lives today before it’s too late.
