US Moon Mission Delayed Due to Hydrogen Leaks

NASA's moon mission, initially targeted for this weekend, has been postponed due to hydrogen fuel leaks during a test. The Space Launch System rocket experienced similar issues three years ago, leading to significant delays. Hydrogen, with its high flammability and energy, poses unique challenges, as explained by Nasa's John Honeycutt. The test was unexpectedly halted at the Kennedy Space Centre, pushing the launch date back to at least March. Four astronauts, including Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover, Christina Koch, and Jeremy Hansen, will now have to wait longer for their mission.
