NASA continued to try to launch the SLS rocket from the Artemis 1 program, but failed due to technical and weather reasons. Another attempt is scheduled for Wednesday, and the weather forecast is 90% favorable. Until then, some changes still need to be made.

The launch is scheduled to take place on November 16 at no earlier than 1:04 a.m. EST (8:04 a.m. Romanian time), with a two-hour time window. The Orion capsule’s mission will last 26 days if it is successfully launched on November 16.

• Why is NASA trying to launch the SLS rocket a colossal waste of money or a bold space program that requires patience?

November 14 was originally scheduled, but Hurricane Nicole made it impossible.

NASA also has two backup dates: November 19 and 25.

Previously scheduled releases in late August and early September were canceled at the last minute due to technical issues.

Then, in late September, the SLS rocket, the most powerful rocket ever built by the US space agency, was returned to a hangar at the Kennedy Space Center to protect it from Hurricane Ian, which devastated parts of Florida.

NASA has reiterated that it will not rush or take risks until everything is in order. The mission is 5 years late and costs several billion dollars.
