NASA's Artemis 1 rocket rolled back into storage due to potential hurricane

NASA described its plan to launch the Artemis 1 moon rocket but the launch has now been delayed. The reason is the threat of a hurricane. The tropical storm Ian has strengthened. It is expected to slam into Florida early next week with full force.

WION Fineprint: Artemis I launch delayed due to expected hurricane

After aborting the launch of Artemis I twice within a week, NASA's latest mission to the moon remained a non-starter on Saturday as the rocket developed a large fuel leak hours before the second launch attempt.
