NASA Working Through New Leak In Artemis Test Ahead Of Possible Launch

The transcript discusses a hydrogen leak during a fueling test for NASA's Artemis 1 Moon rocket, similar to a previous leak that halted a launch. The test aimed to ensure the SLS systems were ready for an uncrewed mission. Despite a new leak, NASA met test requirements and is considering a launch next week. The Artemis program aims to return humans to the Moon. The launch window opens on Tuesday, with hopes for a successful attempt.
