NASA has been preparing for a wet dress rehearsal for the Artemis I rocket, but have hit several issues causing delays, the most recent being a faulty helium gas check valve. They have now announced that a modified wet dress rehearsal will start with a call to stations on April 12. This rehearsal proceeds through as an actual launch activity that scrubs at the T-10 second point. The modified test will focus on filling the core stage with cryogenic propellant, but with minimal propellant operations on the interim cryogenic propulsion stage (ICPS). Following the test, the rocket will be returned to the Vehicle Assembly Building to replace the helium check valve as well as to assess the launch procedures.
NASA is streaming live video of the rocket and spacecraft on the Kennedy Newsroom YouTube channel.

Shut up, bradley12! This is not the rocket launch you are fantascizing about. And, besides, aren't you an ex-pat? Like, if I lump in the Poms, janrinok and FatPhil? So what, besides your conservative word, guarantees that you are actually paying your proper taxes to your home country? No accusation here, just a challenge to produce some actual skin in the game. Yes, I know you teach javascript, for great justice, but that will no longer count for much, as SoylentNews gradually weeds out the RWNJs. Sorry, bradley11, you r time has passed,

Hmm, Spam mod. Who threw that? Oh, we cannot know? Admin only level of knowledge? Ok, then why is it not rescinded? Admin level knowledge, again? So are they implying that this was an aristarchus comment, even though aristarchus is no longer allowed to log in as aristarchus, so it could not have been aristarchus, or at the very most, aristarchus posting as an AC aristarchus? But how are we normal ACs (assuming there are any of us left) to know the difference between and actual covert aristarchus post, and a merely imitation aristarchus post by some other (and cheeky) AC? Puzzling, Puzzling Evidence" [youtube.com]. You better wake up. Woke is better than, well, you know. And, aristarchus knows. He knows very well.
