Moon mission launch put back by engine issue

NASA has postponed the launch of its next-generation moon rocket in Cape Canaveral, Florida, due to an engine-cooling problem. The rocket was poised to launch its long-awaited debut test flight around the moon, which would have been the first lunar mission in 50 years, when a problem was detected in one of the main engines.
