NASA Delays Artemis 1 Launch Amid Engine Issues
A fuel leak and then an engine problem during final liftoff preparations led NASA to scrub the launch of its mighty new moon rocket Monday morning on a shakedown flight with three test dummies aboard.
The next launch attempt will not take place until Friday at the earliest. The launch represents a milestone in America’s quest to put astronauts back on the lunar surface for the first time since the Apollo program ended 50 years ago.

As precious minutes ticked away, NASA repeatedly stopped and started the fueling of the Space Launch System rocket with nearly 1 million gallons of super-cold hydrogen and oxygen because of a leak of highly explosive hydrogen in the same place that saw seepage during a dress rehearsal back in the spring.
Then, NASA ran into new trouble when it was unable to properly chill one of the rocket’s four main engines, officials said. Engineers continued working to gather data and pinpoint the source of the problem after the launch postponement was announced.
Apple iPhone 14 Likely To Support Satellite Connectivity
The latest rumour around the iPhone 14, however, hints at the company bringing satellite connectivity to the iPhone. According to a report from Bloomberg’s Apple expert Mark Gurman, Apple may bring satellite connectivity to the iPhone 14 series.
Gurman, in the latest edition of his Power On newsletter, speculates that the theme of this year’s iPhone event invite hints at the satellite connectivity feature.
Gurman says that the ‘Far Out’ tagline, alongside a cluster of stars could mean that iPhone is getting satellite connectivity. The feature, which is said to be called Emergency Message via Satellite internally, will allow users of compatible iPhones to send SOS messages to first responders, in case they are in places like the mountains or at the sea.
