The launch of NASA's new mega-rocket to the Moon was canceled on Monday due to a technical problem with one of the craft's main engines, NASA said in its live video, reporting de facto d at least a few days this launch, which should mark the beginning of the great American space program back on the Moon, Artemis.
The next possible launch date is Friday, September 2, then September 5.
But the problem will first have to be assessed by NASA teams before determining a new date.
The launch of #Artemis I is no longer happening today as teams work through an issue with an engine bleed.
Teams will continue to gather data, and we will keep you posted on the timing of the next launch attempt.
