mega rocket sustained hurricane damage



The historic Artemis I mission — an un-crewed test flight around the moon that will make use of the most powerful operational rocket in the world — could finally take flight this week.

NASA has begun fueling the rocket ahead of another launch attempt, which comes after weeks of battling various technical issues and setbacks that included the rocket withstanding a Category 1 hurricane.

The big show is currently scheduled to kick off overnight, with liftoff from Kennedy Space Center in Florida set to occur anytime within a two-hour launch window that opens at 1:04 a.m. ET Wednesday.

The spacecraft’s spectacular first views of Earth were shared more than nine hours into the journey, with the vehicle about57,000 miles away from our planet on its way to the moon.It’s the first time since the final Apollo mission in 1972 that a spacecraft designed to carry humans to the moon has captured a view of Earth.
