'You don't want to light the candle until it's ready to go.'
"You can't go; there are certain guidelines," Nelson added of the Artemis 1 scrub."I think it's just illustrative that this is a very complicated machine, a very complicated system. All those things have to work, and you don't want to light the candle until it's ready to go."
Nelson said that with test flights, halting launches like this is"just part of the space business," and emphasized Artemis 1 is meant to reduce risk for future human missions that will use the same SLS rocket and"We are stressing and testing this rocket and the spacecraft in a way that you would never do with a human crew on board. That's the purpose of a test flight," he said, noting NASA would"work the problem" to get ready for the next launch attempt.
The Artemis 1 moon mission was scrubbed on Aug. 29, 2022 and a new launch date will be determined shortly, NASA officials said in the minutes after the cancelation. The next possible opportunity is Sept. 2, 2022.
