After completing a second “wet dress rehearsal” of its upcoming moon mission, NASA said it is targeting a March 6 launch date for Artemis II
NASA released a scathing report blasting the agency and Boeing for the failed Starliner mission. Another 2025 report came to a different conclusion.
The agency held a press briefing to discuss the results of the redo wet dress rehearsal at 11 a.m. ET on Friday. During the briefing, Artemis launch director Charlie Blackwell-Thompson said the leak repairs proved to be “rock solid” and that there was “really no leakage to speak of.”
The agency says the nine-month delay in returning astronauts from space exposed serious risks, even though no one was hurt.
