NASA has delayed the upcoming Artemis moon mission due to near-freezing temperatures at the launch site, now targeting a launch no earlier than February 8. A critical fueling test originally scheduled for Saturday was canceled, with a dress rehearsal planned for Monday, weather permitting. The crew, led by Commander Reid Wiseman, remains in quarantine, and their arrival at Kennedy Space Center is uncertain. Any further delays could push the mission into March, marking the first lunar crew launch since Apollo 17 in 1972.
