Fuel leak ruins NASA’s second attempt at launching Moon rocket

SLS rocket springs another fuel leak, forcing NASA controllers to call off a second bid to send a crew capsule into lunar orbit. NASA has aborted a second launch attempt for its giant Moon rocket because of yet another fuel leak.

Mission managers called off preflight operations on Saturday, about three hours before the 2:17pm EDT (18:17 GMT) liftoff time targeted for the Space Launch System (SLS) rocket and its Orion capsule from Cape Canaveral, Florida.
