NASA has scrubbed Tuesday’s launch of the Artemis I moon rocket as Florida prepares for a potentially major hurricane.
There already have been three trips to the launchpad this year for practice countdowns and, most recently, the thwarted launch attempts of Aug. 29 and Sept. 3. The window for this launch attempt closes Oct. 4, and Sept. 29 and 30 are not available launch days, NASA said in early September. The Space Launch System rocket — the most powerful ever built by NASA — holds a crew capsule with three test dummies.
Running years late and billions over budget, NASA’s new lunar exploration program is named Artemis after Apollo’s twin sister in Greek mythology. Twelve astronauts walked on the moon back in the late 1960s and early 1970s during NASA's Apollo program.
