And thanks to hurricane Ian, it's cancelled again.

The next possible launch window: My birthday. October 2nd. I'm not going to hold my breath.

NASA's Space Launch System rocket, which is at the core of plans to return humans to the moon, is headed back to the launchpad Friday as the space agency gears up another attempt to launch the Artemis I mission.

Only this time, they're going to launch at just after midnight. I guess they're thinking that it'll be less embarrassing if it's cancelled yet again and not many people are watching it live.

All I see is a black box. I hate reddit. I really do. With the possible exception of Discord, it's the most dysfunctional site on the web.
