LIVE: Artemis II rocket launch to the moon [rMSx3rxFOkn]
LIVE coverage as NASA gets closer to the 6:24 p.m. launch window for the Artemis II moon mission. NASA's Artemis II mission is currently scheduled for its first launch window this Wednesday, April 1 at 6:24 PM, with Space Force forecasters reporting a favorable 80% chance of "go" conditions. Despite the positive outlook, strict safety constraints regarding lightning, cloud thickness, and flight-path precipitation mean that even small, isolated weather features typical of a Florida spring could trigger a delay. Mission controllers will be closely monitoring breezy onshore winds and potential cumulus cloud growth right up until the countdown reaches zero.
