Nasa: Artemis Moon rocket second launch attempt called off
The US space agency has had to postpone the launch of its new Artemis I Moon rocket for the second time in a week.
Controllers were unable to stop a hydrogen leak on the vehicle, almost from the start of Saturday's countdown procedure.
Nasa now has another opportunity to launch the rocket on Monday or Tuesday.
After that the vehicle will have to return to its assembly building for inspection and maintenance, which will mean further delays.
