Hi Frank. And if it does not get launched soon, there is another problem, as the deadline for its solid rocket boosters is quickly approaching. You can read more about this here, at:
https://www.space.com/nasa-artemis-1-mo ... e-december
Thanks for finding and sharing your link for the Artemis launch update with us on here Frank and the best of regards.

Great article on the launch of the First Saturn V: https://astromart.com/reviews-and-artic ... 20man-made.

Was interesting to read about how much of the lunar mission was tested on this launch.

The launch has been plagued by quite a few hiccups.

Let us hope all else goes well from now on.
