Fuel leak to delay first launch of NASA's Artemis moon rocket for weeks

13 Sept 10:42 Key points summarised by AI

NASA's Artemis I moon rocket launch was scrubbed for a second time due to a significant liquid hydrogen fuel leak, following an earlier attempt foiled by different technical issues.
The persistent fuel leak and the need to roll the rocket back to its assembly building for repairs will delay the debut mission by at least several weeks, pushing the next launch window to late September or October.
This uncrewed test flight is a critical first step in NASA's ambitious Artemis program, aiming to return humans to the moon by 2025 and eventually facilitate voyages to Mars.

President Macron condemned widespread rioting and looting during nationwide protests, blaming far-left activists and criminals for the "unrestrained violence" and vowing accountability for those who "sought to bring down the Republic."
Over 2,400 arrests were made as protests against rising living costs and poor school conditions escalated, causing extensive damage to public buildings and businesses in cities like Paris, Limoges (where City Hall burned), Marseille, and Lyon.
The unrest, which organizers hoped would revive the "yellow vest" movement, saw political leaders trade blame, with Macron instructing prefects to protect public buildings and potentially ban future protests to prevent further disorder.
