Well I'm assuming everyone has seen this? In a way I'm glad since there is a lot going on this weekend anyway RE: Superbowl but still sucks cuz I want people on the damn moon AND MARS before I croak!

NASA just delayed the Artemis 2 moon mission because its giant rocket has a leak — we've seen this before

The agency had been eyeing Feb. 8 for the historic liftoff. Now, it's no earlier than March.

Musk will have colonized Mars by the time Artemis finally gets a man on the moon again.

Yeah about that...

I think its just them saving face for their beyond optimistic original target dates. I know somewhere else here I said SpaceX wasnt going to Mars before mid 2030.
