NASA PREPARES FOR THE PLANNED SATURDAY MOON ROCKET LAUNCH.
KENNEDY SPACE CENTER: With favourable weather forecasts and the resolution of the technical concerns that caused the launch to be postponed earlier this week, everything appears to be in place for Nasa's Moon rocket to launch on Saturday.
At 2:17 p.m., it will lift off from the Kennedy Space Centre in Florida. Local time (18:17 GMT), with a possible delay of up to two hours.
On Thursday evening, the probability of favourable weather occurring inside that timeframe was 60%.
Melody Lovin, a forecast specialist, stated during a press briefing that the weather "looks fantastic" and isn't expected to be a show-stopper.

Future events will simply disregard inaccurate information.
It was then necessary to patch a fuel tank leak.
Charlie Blackwell-Thompson, the launch's director, stated, "We were able to identify what we think is the source of the leak and fix that.
