Colorado-based space expert says scrubbed Artemis launch is actually a common occurrence

NASA employees take photos as NASA's Space Launch System (SLS) rocket with the Orion spacecraft aboard is rolled out of High Bay 3 of the Vehicle Assembly Building for the first time, at the Kennedy Space Center in Cape Canaveral, Fla.

From Channel 7 Denver News: The second attempt to launch NASA鈥檚 Artemis 1 has been scrubbed again after a fuel leak was discovered. NASA says the team will be standing down for the current launch period, which ends Tuesday.

While many space enthusiasts were disappointed by this news, it's actually a common occurrence with these types of missions.

Jack Burns, a professor of astrophysics at the 麻豆影院, says several failed launch attempts are not unusual. The same thing happened with the first few missions of Apollo, and he is confident the Artemis 1 mission will happen.
