space center where the uncrewed artemis i mission is scheduled to lift off between 8:33 and 10:33 a.m. here s the thing, there are technical issues right now. a hydrogen leak and potentially an engine problem threatening this morning s launch. the plan is for artemis one to eventually fly around the moon with three mannequins, including one named commander moonequin. nearly 50 years ago apollo went to the moon. the artemis plans to land humans on the lunar south pole of the moon in the next few years and ultimately serve as a way to get to mars. lets get the very latest on where things stand right now at the kennedy space center. cnn s kristin fisher is there. what can you tell us? reporter: well, guys, i think it s important to remember that this is only a test flight. it is the very first time this artemis rocket, the sls rocket and the orion crew capsule on top, has ever flown. we knew there was a very good chance that they were going to run into issues today. knew the
