NASA has identified the culprit behind the helium flow issue that forced Artemis II off the launch pad — a dislodged seal in a quick disconnect fitting. With repairs complete and additional work underway in the VAB, a rollout later this month puts an April launch back in reach.
NASA has fundamentally redesigned Artemis III — the mission will no longer land on the Moon. Instead, astronauts will dock with commercial landers in Earth orbit as a test run, with the first actual lunar landing now planned for 2028.
Trump's UAP disclosure order is real and recent. But claims that religious fundamentalists inside the Pentagon are currently blocking the release deserve careful scrutiny. Here's what's verified — and what isn't.
Just days after a successful wet dress rehearsal raised hopes for a March launch, a helium flow anomaly in the rocket's upper stage has forced NASA to roll Artemis II back to the Vehicle Assembly Building. March is now ruled out — so when will four astronauts finally fly to the Moon?
