@VP #KamalaHarris, who chairs the National Space Council, and husband @SecondGentleman #DougEmhoff attended NASA's first attempt to launch the #Artemis1/@nasaartemis moon mission from the Kennedy Space Center. While that launch try was unsuccessful (NASA scrubbed the launch over an engine issue) it "was a test of pure innovation inspired by the possibilities of what we know can be," said Harris. Yet another setback for #Artemis, for the second time in a week, on Saturday, NASA officials called off the test launch of a rocket that is to one day carry astronauts to the moon. But top NASA officials stood behind their decision to call off Saturday’s launch, and said that they were ready to wait longer, perhaps trying again later this month or in October, after the cause of a hydrogen leak is understood and resolved.
