NASA announced, this Wednesday (12), the date of the new attempt to launch its mega rocket to the Moon. The third attempt to take off Artemis I already carried out this year should take place on November 14, with alternative dates on the same week.

The SLS rocket, the most powerful rocket ever developed by the agency, is housed at the Kennedy Space Center.

The unmanned mission Artemis 1, which would launch it to the natural satellite, had been postponed in September for the third time.
