Annnnd...scrubbed. There was a problem with the engine bleed system, which cools the engine prior to launch. Next launch window is on Friday, 2 September.

And, scrubbed again. This time, the culprit was a hydrogen leak, and the engineers could stop the leak sufficiently to fuel the rocket. Next launch window is Monday, 1712 EDT (2212 GMT). There is also a very brief (24-minute) launch window on Tuesday evening.

So...the latest update from the other day:
Fueling test now moved to 21 September (backed up four days from 17 September), meaning the next launch window opens on Tuesday, 27 September. Backup for that day is 2 October.

Is this going to where the Road Runner ends up jumping up and down on MegaRocket until it goes off?
*BOOOOOM*

Oh, and on a related note, don't forget about the DART (Double Asteroid Redirection Test) mission, set for 26 September.

And yesterday's fueling test was successful. Technicians still have to go through the data, or IOW, it's still possible for the launch to miss the window on 27 September. But so far, so good.

Well, sheeeeeeeeeeit. The fueling tests were successful (still minor leaks, but very manageable,) and things were set to go of 27 September.
-But, of course-
Launch called off once again, this time due to Tropical Storm Ian (which may become a major hurricane by the time it reached Florida.)
NASA is considering rolling the vehicle back to the Vehicle Assembly Building; final decision on that will be late Sunday or early Monday.

Indeed, the decision was to roll back the rocket to the VAB. Safer for the thing, and by now, they probably have to replace the batteries in the safety system anyway.
In other space news, though, did people watch the feed of the DART mission? Some spectacular images just before impact, and the test was successful in that it it an object only about 200m (660ft) in diameter at a distance of 9+1/2 months' travel time. The total effect still won't be known until we analyze data from ground-based observations (and possibly a few from Hubble & JWST.)
