Apollo engineer recalls Saturn V hiccups, 'can hardly wait' for Artemis 1 launch
Apollo electronics engineer Ken Poimboeuf helped build the massive Saturn V rocket that took us to the moon more than 50 year ago. He said there were hiccups then, but NASA is known for getting the job done.

UCF researchers could develop the cure for hydrogen leak that grounded Artemis 1
Scientists at the University of Central Florida are working to create a composite material that they hope will prevent scrubs like the one that happened Sept. 3 on the Artemis launchpad because of a hydrogen leak.

Watch for fireballs: Orionids meteor shower expected to peak this week
While the Orionids meteor shower peak is on Oct. 21, the Orionids will be active through Nov. 22. NASA says that some of these Orionids can leave behind glowing "trains," and some faster meteors could also become fireballs.
