The most powerful rocket ever created for NASA was finally launched on Wednesday, propelling an unmanned Orion capsule on a long-awaited trip to the moon with an outburst of white-hot fire and an earth-shattering roar.

NASA has since fixed the technical issues that caused the previous launch attempts on August 29 and September 3 to be aborted. After that, two hurricanes added to the delays. While engineers were unable to identify the reason of the hydrogen leak, they revised the fueling procedure to reduce leaking and had faith that the 322-foot (98-meter) rocket’s plumbing system would remain tight and undamaged.

Always a variable outside of NASA’s control is the weather. According to the most recent prognosis, there was an 80% likelihood of good weather on Wednesday for the two-hour launch window.

NASA extended the procedure by an hour to accommodate for the slower fill-up, which was essential for lowering pressure in the fuel lines and maintaining the seals. With no significant leaks recorded in the early phases, it appeared to be effective.

About an hour into fueling, assistant launch director Jeremy Graeber stated, “So far, everything is going really successfully.”

Almost one million gallons (3.7 million litres) of ice-cold hydrogen and oxygen were being used to fuel the rocket. The upper stage was being fueled after more than four hours, and the core stage was completely filled.

The Kennedy Space Center was scheduled to be congested with 15,000 people for the early-morning launch on Wednesday, and thousands more were expected to line the roads and beaches outside the gates. The rocket had two hours to launch when the space agency stopped operations till Saturday.

The crew capsule that NASA hoped to launch into lunar orbit was not present when the Space Launch System rocket, also known as SLS, made its debut. Instead, there were three test dummies.

It was anticipated that the first test flight would span three weeks and culminate with a splashdown in the Pacific. Verifying the heat shield of the capsule during re-entry is NASA’s primary goal for the USD 4.1 billion mission, which will allow four humans to board the next moonship in 2024. A two-person lunar landing would occur after that in 2025.

The Apollo programme came to an end in December 1972 when NASA launched its final crew to the moon.
