NASA halts its rocket launch to the moon for the second time in a week

NASA has halted the launch of its new rocket to the moon after discovering a fuel leak at the moment the rocket was supplied with it for launch for a test flight, for the second time in a week.

And "NASA" stated that the overpressure alarm went off this morning, to stop the filling process of the tank for a short period without any damage, to resume the process after minutes, and it was noticed that the hydrogen fuel leaked from the engine section at the bottom, to stop "NASA" the process.

And "NASA" canceled the launch of the rocket last Monday due to an engine defect and a fuel leak as well.

NASA aims to send astronauts to the moon after testing the rocket on a test flight. If the five-week demo with test dummies is successful, the astronauts can fly around the moon in 2024 and land on it in 2025.

The $4.1 billion test flight is the first step in NASA's Artemis program to explore the moon.

The program aims to establish a sustainable human presence on the Moon, with astronaut crews eventually spending weeks there and thus serving as a training ground for Mars travel.
