Artemis II Moon mission launch delayed again to March due to fuel leak, NASA says

The United States’ National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) is postponing the Artemis II Moon mission launch to March after a fuel leak during a final test of all pre-launch procedures.

NASA's Artemis II mission will send four astronauts on a daring journey around the Moon without docking, before returning to Earth's atmosphere at a record speed of approximately 25,000 miles per hour (40,000 km/h). The Artemis mission would be the first to bring humans towards the Moon since the last mission in the 1970s.
