NASA postpones manned mission to the Moon until March due to fuel leak

BarcelonaNASA's Artemis II mission, which was scheduled to launch next weekend to a manned mission around the MoonThe launch of the Artemis II spacecraft has been postponed until at least March after a fuel leak was detected during test flights on Tuesday. NASA announced the postponement through its official channels, now indicating March as "the earliest possible launch opportunity for the Artemis II mission," which will carry four astronauts. The plan is for them to orbit the Moon before returning to Earth.

The postponement also means that these four astronauts will leave the quarantine they began on January 21 to ensure the best possible health conditions. They will not return to quarantine until two weeks before a new launch date is set.
