LAUNCH OF NASA'S ARTEMIS I MOON ROCKET GETS DELAYED

 

The NASA test of the crew capsule and rocket that will someday send a woman and a person of colour to the moon.

After a number of concerns, including engine faults and fuel leaks, surfaced during the countdown to launch for the agency's Space Mission System rocket and Orion crew capsule, the launch was aborted.

After a temperature issue with one of the engine's boosters was discovered, the rocket is now in a "safe and stable" condition. By passing extremely cold liquid hydrogen through it, engineers attempted to remedy the issue, but eventually were unsuccessful in lowering the temperature.

NASA said in a statement that the two-hour launch window had run out when trying to complete a bleed test to bring the RS-25 engines at the bottom of the core stage up to the right temperature range for liftoff. Engineers are working to collect more information.

As engineers worked to find a solution, NASA halted the launch countdown 40 minutes before liftoff. Thunderstorms off Florida's Kennedy Space Center at Cape Canaveral caused the process to start about an hour late.

The following launch window opens on September 2, however NASA launch commentator Derrol Nail noted, "We must wait to see what shakes out from their testing" of the engine.

The Artemis program motive is to teach people how to survive on the moon so that the United States can transport people to Mars safely in the future.

THE FLU IN THAILAND after COVID-19 IS DOWNGRADED TO THE SAME CATEGORY AS

 Thailand: In October, when the country's viral situation begins to stabilise, Thailand will declare COVID-19 a "dangerous" infectious disease that "needs monitoring." According to Thailand's health minister, Anutin Charanvirakul, this adjustment will reduce Covid-19's priority from being on par with plague and smallpox to influenza and dengue, reflecting the country's actual health situation. Anutin asserted in a statement that the decision showed how well-prepared Thailand's healthcare system is, how simple it is for individuals to access care, and how responsibly people act when it comes to self-defense. According to him, Thailand would "soon" change its pandemic management strategy so that private hospitals can buy antiviral drugs directly from manufacturers.
