Officials at NASA announced on Tuesday that they need to push back the launch of a spacecraft sending astronauts back to the moon. The Artemis mission, an international project led by the United States and including Japan and Europe, involves a large spaceship taking astronauts around the moon and back.

The earliest launch opportunity was scheduled for this coming Sunday. NASA engineers ran the rehearsal on Monday and detected multiple liquid hydrogen fuel leaks.
