NASA Spaceflight nerds think it will be a scrub. They are the most knowledgeable ones out there not associated with the program.

I'm confused as to why the location of the mounting would make a difference in how the thing was cooled in the instance. Every reference I've seen to it was to "improve" the engine, not a necessity.
Plumbing is different due to the fact that they're now mounted directly to the tank, as opposed to having an orbiter between them. Valve locations are different, which in a cryo system the location can make a pretty big difference.

No substantive update from NASA TV yet. Apparently the meeting between LH2 team and LD is ongoing.

The first launch of a new vehicle. Some bumps are expected.
No, I don't care what CNN or MSNBC said this time

Especially when you can't get the thing not to leak long enough to have a dress rehearsal

Word from LD is that engineers are still reviewing data and models to determine a path forward. We're not officially scrubbed yet, but this ain't looking promising.

Only 90 minutes left in the window (based on where the countdown is right now), have a hard time seeing it happen today.

Sept 2, and Sept 5. If they don't launch either of those windows, then Artemis has to be taken back to the hanger.

Is there a stream with commentary? Watching the NASA one and it's completely quiet.

These guys are good, and cover tons of crap


"Looking at options to gather as much data as possible." I'm taking my night time meds and going to bed they've effectively scrubbed.

If they aren't able to solve the leak problem today, they're probably gonna have to rollback anyways

The NASA live feed is zoomed in on what appears to be a leak.

Everyday Astronaut and NasaSpaceflight (not affiliated with NASA) are great. They are all mega dorks and on top of it.

They got a full wet dress rehearsal in, though. It's more data.

Hopefully they can diagnose what exactly the issue with the engine 3 bleed is and whatever fix can be done on the pad.

Was really hoping to be proved wrong, dang. I'm not above a reverse jinx.

Valve issues, so hot right now

I think we all would've been shocked at a successful launch today.

Perfect world; this thing goes up, briefly, later this week, then RUD's off the coast just late enough to not blast absolutely everything to smithereens and a couple of RS-25's are recovered for museum display from relatively shallow water.

I - for one - would like to see a successful SLS launch with the spent core stage in an unstable orbit that wizzes over China again and again.
