The flight was aimed at testing the Space Launch System rocket and the Orion crew capsule.
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration on Monday postponed the test flight of Artemis 1 spacecraft because of a fuel leak and an engine problem reported during the lift-off. The spacecraft was supposed to orbit the moon.
“This is a very complicated machine, a very complicated system, and all those things have to work, and you don’t want to light the candle until it’s ready to go,” NASA Administrator Bill Nelson said, according to the Associated Press.
