https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Artemis_program
On 10 January 2020, NASA's 22nd astronaut group , nicknamed the "Turtles", graduated and were assigned to the Artemis program. The group includes two Canadian Space Agency (CSA) astronauts. The group earned their nickname from the prior astronaut group, "The 8-Balls ," as is a tradition dating back to "The Mercury Seven " in 1962 which subsequently provided the "Next Nine " with their nickname. They were given this name, for the most part, because of Hurricane Harvey . Some of the astronauts will fly on the Artemis missions to the Moon and maybe part of the first crew to fly to Mars.[99]

No, NASA didn't find a parallel universe where time runs backward
Some wild story headlines claimed NASA had detected a parallel universe, but the reality of the situation is much less exciting.

It isn’t going ahead today due to weather conditions. It will now happen on May 30th.

Too bad, but I heard 50% of Shuttle launches had weather delays too so not unusual I guess.

This is why most other super villains focus on their weather machine first.

Was really hoping to see it over the weekend as we were camping and the dark skies should have helped. Not sure if it is low in the sky and trees blocked our view, if clouds were obstructing, or if we just cannot see it anymore because we did not have any success.
