Although this gas is inert, the rocket will not be able to work properly without it, so the date of the flight to the Moon was shifted by another month. Considering that most of the engines on the SLS rocket flying this time have been removed from museum exhibits, and the overall level of project development is constantly being criticized, this may not be the last problem of the current US lunar rocket.
