2:02 am
a technical issue has derailed. the mission, nasa says the leak is too complex to fit in a fix in a matter of days. and the 3rd attempt will be delayed until at least september. alan fisher has been on standby at cape canaveral. this is artemus launch control at a t minus for hours and 45 minutes and counting. the rocket was primed. the cone don't underway, but his feeling of the giant rockets began. it became clear that in that famous phrase, we have a problem. the last name has a recommendation of no go for launch to the nasa test rector and launch director a leak on the link pumping liquid hydrogen into the tanks was found. engineers ran through the plans to fix it, was rector turley back, while thompson just called, ah, a scrub. but in the end, i to admit defeat the launch scrub the for saturday. we do not launch until we think it's right. and these teams have a labored over that and that is the conclusion that they came to.
2:03 am
so i look at this is a part of our space program, of which safety is the top of the list. it's the 2nd time in a week the much to lead optimist project had to be stopped short of launch. on monday, it was an issue traced back to a faulty gauge launch period. 25 is a definitely off the table. we won't be launching a yard. this period ends on tuesday. we'll not be launching in this launch period. launch period 26 and 27 will really depend on the options that the team comes back with likely. on monday or early tuesday morning, thousands had gathered in the parks and on beaches across florida space coast, hoping to see a loaner launch. only to leave disappointed. we brought friends with us fire mercer
2:04 am
and our friends sons birthday huffman, the big candle to go off. but it didn't in last year ever. santa rocca go up. there's nothing like it's heart pounding. i mean, shake your whole body and it's, it's just something to say our committee has been plagued with delays with overruns them with a soaring budget. but nasa believes that even a short delay is worth it for a mission that will stretch over years and stretch the frontiers of space. olive fisher al jazeera cape canaveral florida. terry versus a retired nasa astronaut and former international space station commander. he joined us from houston. terry, great to have you with this, is this liquid hydrogen leak, something that would have been anticipated? and is this issue tied in any way to the problem that force the postponement of the 1st launch attempt earlier in the week? well, it says it's a similar fluid. they've been having hydrogen problems. i think you're in a different location. but of course nasa they've been having a meeting all afternoon to talk about the details. so i'll let them get the
2:05 am
specifics out. but the big picture is, it's an extremely complicated rocket. i remember going in the back of a space shuttle when it was on the ground in florida and there's just a maze of pipes and tanks and wires and brackets. and so it's a complicated rocket and there's lots of small little problems that can go wrong. let me ask you, would there been a series of fixes and workarounds attempted by nasa before the final decision was made to call the launch off? oh yeah, for sure. i, i, you know, i wasn't there so i can't speak to the specifics, but having been in situations like that, there's teams of engineers looking at their computer screens trying talking through, you know, can we try this? why don't we try that now? mass has been doing that now for over 60 years, so they, they tried a lot and they no one wants to scrub, but no one wants to want. even worse than scrubbing is launching a rocket that's not safe at terry. if it is decided that the art in this needs to
2:06 am
be rolled back to the vehicle assembly building for further work, what kind of a delay are we looking at before the launch could happen? well, my understanding was that there was one more launch attempt in this window if you will. and then if that doesn't happen in the next few days, it'll be october. so i think that's the case. i. let's wait and have math. nasa say that officially. but if you roll it back to the v a b that's, that's not a one day kind of thing. that'll be probably days or weeks if not longer. and terry, i'm curious yet your perspective as a former commander of the international space station, you know, nasa has been eager to showcase the progress that it has made in attempting to get humans back to the moon. this is a big deal. how big a set back is this for nasa? well, it's a rocket scrub. i mean, i was at nasa for 16 years and you know, the shuttle was constantly scrubbing my 1st shuttle flight. there was a thin layer of clouds and we had to wait until the next day. rocket scrubs are nothing new we've been. we've been delaying. rocket launch is now for 60 years so
2:07 am
that i don't think it's too terrible. although it's, we not only have artemus space, sex is building a very heavy rocket. a blue origin also wants to build a big rocket. so there's not only competition with china, but there's competition internally in america. and so there is some pressure you know, to get things moving because there are others looking up and, and wanting to launch also. so competition i think is a good thing. all right, terry words retired nasa astronaut and former international space station commander . thanks so much. great. to get your perspective, thanks for having me on the international atomic energy agency says these apparition, nuclear power plant and ukraine has been disconnected from its last remaining external power line. but the facility is still managing to supply electricity to the grid through a reserve line connected to a nearby thermal power station. only one of the 6 reactors at the nuclear plant is now functioning earlier. russia accused ukrainian forces of shelling near the
2:08 am
facility. gabriel elizondo has more from keith. well, the security and the safety situation are very both very tenuous down in the separation nuclear power plant at this very hour, precisely because there was this main power source on the plan, the last remaining permanent power source there. as you mentioned, the 3 others had already been knocked out during the war. this one went down. that's the bad news. the somewhat good news is that there's backup power system was able to kick in. and that is what is providing power to the nuclear facility at this hour. but that is not the ideal situation. this is essentially running on backup generators, if you will, to put it in sort of simple terms and you never want to be doing that at a nuclear power plant such as this, especially one is large as this is the largest in europe and provides over half the
2:09 am
energy to all of ukraine. so this happened now also at a very critical juncture, was just about 48 hours ago that raphael grossi the director general of the international atomic energy agency, visited the power plant. he's left in a reporter in speaking to the media 24 hours ago so that he was very concerned about the situation. and there are still several i. e, a staff members professionals that are there at the plant and they are the ones that reported the current situation. so they're monitoring it very closely with their ukrainian colleagues. but let's also remember that this plant is controlled by the russian military right now. russia's state energy, company gas prom says siemens energy is ready to carry out repairs on the nord stream, one gas pipeline, to germany. but there is no where available to carry out the work gas from an ounce
