Just about five minutes ago, the NASA blog on Artemis posted a very short confirmation — that once AGAIN, the tanking operation has hit a snag.
Another hydrogen leak has been detected. This is a “no-go, for launch” condition, due to the obvious risk of explosions. I now think it likely that Monday’s potential for a launch window is scrubbed as well:
…After the third troubleshooting attempt, the liquid hydrogen leak has occurred again. Teams are discussing next steps….
Well… I am on record about this whole line of endeavor, but I never want to see… repeated failures in pre-launch rocket sequences. [I do wonder whether the private contractor has delivered a… busted rocket, though.]
Though to be certain, that is better than a post launch failure. By far.
