NASA's new moon rocket could face more launch delays because of tropical weather. An approaching storm may force NASA to not only delay next week's launch attempt, but also move the rocket from its Florida pad and back into the hangar.

Managers said that the rocket is ready to blast off Tuesday on its first test flight after a fueling test earlier this week. But a tropical depression in the Caribbean is moving toward Florida and could become a major hurricane. It takes three days of preparation to haul the rocket back to the hangar.
