NASA targets a March launch of the moon rocket after test run reveals fuel leaks

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) — NASA said Tuesday it will now target a March launch of its new moon rocket after running into exasperating fuel leaks during a make-or-break test a day earlier.

The space agency said in a statement that the launch delay will “allow teams to review data and conduct a second wet dress rehearsal” before the flight test.
