NASA announced Tuesday it is delaying its highly anticipated Artemis II mission to send four astronauts around the moon after engineers encountered hydrogen fuel leaks during a critical launch rehearsal at Kennedy Space Center in Florida. A very similar problem caused a six month delay to an Artemis mission in 2022.
NASA has announced that its Artemis 2 mission, which will send a crew of four astronauts around the Moon, is on track to launch as early as February 5, 2026, with additional launch windows in March and April.
The Senate’s NASA budget bill appears to push back on plans by Donald Trump and Elon Musk to shift priorities for the space agency while scaling back funding for climate alarmism and other “science” research.
NASA has delayed the launch of the Artemis I after engineers discovered another fuel leak approximately three hours away from the beginning of its launch window.
After its next planned astronaut moon landing, NASA’s Project Artemis intends to land astronauts on Mars, explained NASA Deputy Administrator James Morhard in a Friday interview on SiriusXM’s Breitbart News Daily with host Alex Marlow.
