Violent Morning Thunderstorms Threaten NASA Artemis Launch



The threat of violent morning thunderstorms is hanging over NASA’s plans to launch Artemis early Monday after a series of lightning strikes hit lightning towers near the launch pad five times on Saturday. NASA says none of the strikes caused damage to the rocket. If plans go accordingly, astronauts could be on board in 2024, then a moon landing in 2025.

  1. NBC You need better news to cover this is just junk. Let NASA cover the news ya are idiots.

  2. Come on NBC. We keep all an eye out on this. Yes weather was a concern in the 1st hour of the launch window. But the real reason for the abortion were engine and insulation problems with engine 3. Well Northrop Grumman build the engine and Boing assembled it … why don't you put the blame where it belongs? Hint: Never bite the hand that feeds you.

  3. Newscasters: Can we quit using words like threaten….attack…..targeted and violent, etc. C'mon man find a thesaurus and use appropriate words or form intelligent sounding sentences. Alarmist language is replacing what used to be good journalistic practices. Try this headline, "Artemes Launch…" yes that tells you what the story is going to be about, the Artemis. "Artemes Launch Delays…" come on you can do it you clever journalists. "Artemis Morning Launch Possibly Delayed Due to Thunderstorms." Wow, was that so hard? And then you can do some actual journalism afterwards and interview folks, talk about the monetary cost of the delay, disappointment of enthusiasts and the people working on it, etc. Maybe throw in an optomistic piece. The way the title of this video reads, it sounds like the whole thing is going to be struck by lightning and suddenly explode because of cloud terrotists in the sky. Quit insulting intelligence and you might gain more credibility and a loyal viewership and manage to keep it. Or is this the kind of thing that NBC and other corporations leave to experts on youtuber mentality?

  4. Probably just Kamalas annoying cackle they heard & didn’t realize it! 🤣🤣🤣🤣

  5. NASA must be kissing Stanley kubrick now very much !

  6. Too slow a mission

    Better do it in 2069 to mark a century after first landing
    NASA HAS LOST IT

  7. Bad weather, isn't another stuck valves that scrubbed this launch.

  8. Gotta check if the astronauts are mentally prepared to meet the moon aliens

  9. Y'all expect us to believe that we went to the moon and y'all can't even get this rocket off the ground just let Elon do it

  10. Wear a Pink shirt, but roll up the sleeves😁that'll give you credibility

  12. Teera es plana esto 🌏es un fake 3D 🤮🤮🤮wekap up🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑

  13. Peoples Liberation Army can launch it for NASA – PLA launches rockets regularly from HAINAN island.

  14. This mission's objectives make me wonder whether we'v been to the moon before

  15. READ THE QURAN IS THE TRUTH FROM GOD.

  16. … "IT'S BACK TO THE FUTURE" …!!! … "WHILE IT WOULD ONLY HAVE BEEN ENOUGH TO RESUME THE 1969 TECHNOLOGY TO RETURN TO THE MOON" … ???

  17. Was pretty clear out to me as I drove to the cape
