Artemis II Launch Delayed to March
Summary
The Josh Universe - Space Discord Server community was informed that NASA has delayed the Artemis II mission launch to March. This change from the previously targeted February 8th launch date is due to the discovery of a liquid hydrogen leak during a recent wet dress rehearsal. The mission, which will send four astronauts on a 10-day journey around the moon, requires extra time for data review and a second rehearsal.
