Good morning, and welcome to KidNews! I'm Tori. Today is Monday, August 29, 2022, and

we begin with a no-go for this morning's highly anticipated launch of NASA's Massive Moon

Rocket. The countdown in Cape Canaveral, Florida was halted this morning due to technical

problems, including a hydrogen leak that was discovered as the fueling was taking place.

The 32-story bright-orange space launch system with a pointy Orion capsule at the top was

No human astronauts were inconvenienced by the scrub. The only crew for this mission,

known as Artemis 1, is three mannequins that are strapped with sensors to test the ride

for future space travelers. The next opportunity for launch is this Friday. If that doesn't

This week we told you about dyno tracks found in a Texas riverbed. Today, we bring you

big, really big dinosaur news from a backyard in Portugal. A man doing some home remodeling

found a few bones, called in the experts, and the rest is quite literally history. After

a super-careful excavation, they unearth the remains of a massive prehistoric beast,

a suspected brachiosaurus that was 82 feet long, and nearly four stories tall, with

each rib measuring a mind-blowing 10 feet end-to-end. It's believed to be the biggest dyno

of its kind ever found in Europe. The brachiosaurus was a plant eater with a long neck and tail

that roamed the planet between 100 and 160 million years ago. Paleontologists suspect they'll

find more remains nearby, and plan to return to the site next year for more digging.

The days of pharmaceutical companies publicly playing nice in the name of the pandemic are

apparently over. Late last week, Moderna filed a lawsuit against Pfizer and Biontech, saying

those companies copied some of Moderna's groundbreaking technology to create their own
