NASA scrubs first Artemis I launch attempt due to rocket engine issue [i]An issue with cooling a rocket engine forced NASA to call off its first attempt at launching a spacecraft on a test flight to the moon. Launch director Charlie Blackwell-Thompson, leading a team of flight controllers inside the Launch Control Center (LCC) at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida, called the scrub at 8:34 a.m. EDT (1224 GMT) on Monday (Aug. 29) after the Artemis I countdown had entered an unplanned hold at T-minus 40 minutes. Engineers ran out of time while troubleshooting the problem, which involved the flow of super-chilled liquid hydrogen into four rocket engines to bring them to the proper temperature for launch.[/i]
