The launch has been scrubbed due to an engine bleed that's still being investigated.
"While liquid oxygen loading into the interim cryogenic propulsion stage continues and core stage tanks continue to be replenished with propellants, engineers are troubleshooting an issue conditioning one of the RS-25 engines on the bottom of the core stage.
Engine 3 is not properly being conditioned through the bleed process, and engineers are troubleshooting. Known as the Artemis 1 mission, this is the first in a series of increasingly complex mission designed to take humans back to the Moon for the first time since December 1972.
