for the second time in a week, nasa has called off its attempt to launch a powerful rocket part of a mission aimed at eventually putting humans back on the moon. the artemis rocket was due to blast off in the past hour but technical problems forced the team to call for another postponement. here s nasa s administrator bill neilson. the mission management team is meeting this afternoon. they re going to look at it. they re going to see is there still a possibility now or are they going to have to roll back into the vehicle assembly building? if they decide that s the case, then it ll be an october launch. and october, i would say, although the window opens in early, i suspect it ll be more like the middle, because remember the first week of october, we ve got another crew. it s an international crew, two international participants on the crew of four that are going to the international space station. our science correspondentjonathan amos is at the kennedy space cent ....

propellant to deal with. nasa has been working with that since the 1960s, since the original moon programme. i m sure they will fix it, it is a question of time, and asjonathan said, it is a big, complicated system, it really is the biggest rocket that nasa or anyone has ever built, so there are a lot of things to get right. but, you know, nasa is probably the organisation to do it, but it will take some time. some people will say, they have had 50 years. it was quite a while since we last went to the moon, we have done this before, why all the publicity and the fanfare and it still not be working properly? well, that is a really good point. first time for a human mission round the moon since 1972. has the technology really advanced since then? fundamentally, no, perhaps except that the capsule is a bit larger and the electronics are modern, but they are still using, for example, incredibly outdated and environmentally unsound rocket boosters, they are still having diff ....
