NASA scraps its launch of a 30-story rocket due to orbit the Moon, citing a fuel leak in delaying the mission for a second time. The leak occurred as liquid hydrogen was being pumped into the rocket. No new date for another try was immediately announced. IMAGES

NASA launched the most powerful rocket ever built on a journey to the Moon on Wednesday, marking the start of the space agency's new flagship program, Artemis. The 32-story tall Space Launch System (SLS) blasted off from the storied Kennedy Space Center in Florida at 01:47 am (0647 GMT). IMAGES
NASA announces that a third attempt to launch its new lunar rocket would not occur in the coming days, after a fuel leak caused a second launch attempt to be halted. The current launch period for the Artemis 1 mission "ends on Tuesday. We will not be launching in this launch period," says Jim Free, associate administrator for Exploration Systems Development at NASA. SOUNDBITE
