NASA officials said on Friday that the Artemis I rocket is ready to launch after a successful test of its troublesome fuelling system. The Artemis I crew successfully filled the rocket with the super-chilled liquid hydrogen fuel required for the launch, with minimal “manageable” leakage. The Space Force also granted NASA an extension that enables the mega-rocket to remain on the launchpad without testing the batteries in its Flight Termination System, a safety device that kills the rocket if anything goes wrong during its flight.
