The Space Force will be in charge of safety in the region where NASA will launch. They need rockets to be equipped with a mechanism that allows them to destroy the rocket if anything goes wrong. When the rocket rolled out to the pad in August, the flight termination mechanism was approved for 20 days. NASA did get a brief extension of the certification to 25 days before the second launch attempt, but the rocket has already remained at the launchpad for 35 days. We’ll have to wait and see what the Space Force and NASA decide in the following days.
