We’re assured – however we cannot launch until we’re 100%, NASA boss tells Sky News

The NASA chief has solely informed Sky News that the security of the Artemis II astronauts won’t be put in danger regardless of strain to get the moonshot programme again on observe.

The mega-rocket is scheduled to take 4 astronauts on a historic 10-day check journey across the moon, and there was strain on NASA for the mission to go forward after two earlier launches have been cancelled resulting from technical points.

If the ultimate checks and exams are profitable – and the climate forecast stays clear – the Artemis II will lift-off at 11.24pm UK time on 1 April.
