5. NASA will once again attempt its new rocket, Artemis, on Saturday.
Engine trouble prevented Monday's launch.
One of the rocket's four main engines did not cool as much as necessary before ignition. Engineers say they will change fueling procedures to deal with the issue.
NASA's rocket program manager says aiming for a Saturday launch allows the team to continue evaluating all parts of the failed launch and troubleshoot any other problems that might come up.
