Artemis 2 Delayed to 2026 — SLS Helium Issue

Summary

The Josh Universe - Space Discord Server community was informed via a post linking to Instagram that NASA has delayed the crewed Artemis 2 moon mission to at least April 2026. This delay is due to a helium flow issue discovered in the Space Launch System (SLS) rocket's upper stage, requiring the rocket to be rolled back for repairs. Consequently, the previously targeted March 6 launch date has been postponed.
