My Guess? It Will Be Much Later Than Just End Of March 2026...

As more hard news trickles out, from yesterday's tanking efforts -- it sure looks a lot like the same issue that plagued earlier -- albeit uncrewed, count-downs.

With the prospect of a crew above the tail service mast umbilical -- the fix will have to be 100% tripple vetted, and tested and retested. I'm thinking June at the earliest -- or maybe July 4 weekend? [We all know that Tangerine will want something for the 250^th.] Here's the NASA Artemis blog update:

. . .The Artemis II wet dress rehearsal countdown was terminated at the T-5:15 minute mark due to a liquid hydrogen leak at the interface of the tail service mast umbilical, which had experienced high concentrations of liquid hydrogen earlier in the countdown, as well.

The launch control team is working to ensure the SLS (Space Launch System) rocket is in a safe configuration and begin draining its tanks. . . .

Onward -- safety as ever. . . first.
