NASA on Saturday postponed the launch of its Artemis rocket, citing a leak issue in one of the engines, though the launch appeared to still be scheduled for Saturday afternoon.
“Engineers detected a liquid hydrogen leak in a quick disconnect cavity and have stopped flowing the propellant to the core stage while they troubleshoot,” the agency said in a blog post earlier in the day. “Launch controllers are attempting to warm up the quick disconnect to attempt to reseat it to get a tight seal. Liquid oxygen flow is continuing.”
By late Saturday morning the agency announced it was scrubbing the Saturday launch.”Teams attempted to fix an issue related to a leak in the hardware transferring fuel into the rocket, but were unsuccessful,” NASA wrote on Twitter. MORE

I guess we need to hire the guys…
that have been uberring us to the space station.
Woid is they’re gonna paint a stick figure in a blue wheelchair on pad 39B and designate it for disabled rocket parking…
This is what happens when you’re fresh out of captured German scientists and you’ve been teaching woke crap for 2 generations.
But “Muslim Outreach” was supposed to keep things like this from happening!
Like the article in Babylon Bee said the other day, the lady astronaut who was in charge after its last trip forgot to fuel it up after she came back.
Just subcontract the whole shebang to Elon and be done with it.
Did you ever notice that every success is called a “scientific achievement”, and every setback is an “engineering failure”?
That’s two scrubs in a row. Doesn’t instill much confidence, does it.
Why are you using quick disconnects for crucial, high hazard fuel transfers in the first place? Are the kids too lazy to use a wrench?
Pedo Joe to blame it on ultra MAGA White Supremacists insurrectionists in 3…2…1…
NASA just can’t get it up.
The engineers are still very upset from the January 6th invasion of the Capitol by ultra MAGA Trump supporters, when ten thousand million White Supremacists tried to overthrow Muh Democraci.
They will be given meditation recordings and chair massages while FBI agents search Trump’s underwear drawer, and I’m sure they will be able to get it up after that.
^^^ Nailed it!
Bigly Diaper Donny says stay the hell outta my diaper drawer.
Nothing a few billion of our taxes can’t fix….
Affirmative Action and Muslim Outreach front and center here.
If we supposedly went to the moon with 1969’s technology, we should be colonizing on Mars by now. Such a nice money-laundering scheme.
Just by an electric rocket.
^^^ buy.
Space flights are important. But diversity is importanter. (New NASA motto)
Space X just keeps chugging along.
Some things are better left to the private sector.
I may start reconsidering some Aluminum Hat theories if they can’t get their rocket to launch, like failing perhaps on purpose?
No earthling has been there since the early 1970’s. Maybe they’re afeerd/sceert of SOMETHING IN OR ON THE MOON!!!
