After a long day of putting the mega moon rocket through its paces, NASA's Artemis team is determining the pathway to launch -- and just how long or short that path may be.
Monday's crucial test, known as the wet dress rehearsal, simulated every stage of launch without the rocket leaving the launchpad at Kennedy Space Center in Florida. It included loading all four rocket tanks with supercold propellant, going through a full countdown and draining the rocket tanks. A hydrogen leak and several other issues that cropped up during the test prevented the team from getting as far with the two countdowns as planned.
