NASA administrator Bill Nelson“We will launch when we are ready,But mark my words, we are going. When the final go is given, Artemis I will roar to life and soar to the moon.
Maybe yes, maybe no.
Performance thus far does not inspire confidence.

Wildy late, wildly over budget, on launch attempt #3 for the first mission.

NASA's delayed Artemis rocket launch to Moon shows perils of liquid hydrogen fuel
https://www.abc.net.au/news/science/...leak/101443226But by far the most challenging problem is working in cryogenic conditions.
Hydrogen can slip through the smallest of cracks, especially when it is chilled under pressure, and ultra-low temperatures can make materials — even metal — brittle.
"If you hit steel at that temperature, it will just shatter," Mr Scott-Kilsby said.
"It's one of the reasons that SpaceX and a lot of new companies have moved away from hydrogen, because while you get that peak performance, those additional challenges offset the benefits."

Colonizing another world will simply accelerate the dumbasses' destruction of this one.
We don't even have an ocean floor habitation yet. Dumbasses.

Shockingly enough todays fueling test proves that NASA has not solved the problem of leaks by changing some parts and using a new procedure. This now certainly looks like design failure.

NASA will almost certainly want to try to launch on the 27th, but the military is now in charge of public safety and must issue a launch permit.

Does anyone know the NASA record for most consecutive non weather related scrubs deep into the countdown?
Google is not helpful.

They had a fuel leak above allowed limits and had to shut down fueling, but this test has been proclaimed a success.
