Good morning, and welcome to Kid News! I'm Tori, today's Thursday, September 1st, 2022,

and we begin with NASA teeing up another moonshot attempt for Saturday afternoon.

Engineers scrub Monday's planned launch when one of the rockets' four massive engines ran

too hot during the countdown. According to the New York Times, the engines must cool to

minus 420 degrees so that the super cold fuel needed for launch doesn't shock and crack

the metal when it rushes in. Three of the engines did what they were supposed to do, but

one of them didn't. Engineers suspect that the problem was a faulty sensor, but replacing

it would delay another attempt for weeks. Instead, the plan is to start the chilling process

a half hour earlier, which works successfully in past tests. Saturday's two hour launch

window opens at 2.17 p.m. Eastern, although there are storms in the forecast at that time.

Weather permitting, you can watch it live on NASA's website and YouTube channel. We've

put a link on our website.

On a night where the crowd was with her, but the odds weren't, Serena Williams once again

proved her greatness. A sold-out celebrity-filled crowd packed the stands for the second round

of the U.S. Open in Flushing Meadows, New York last night to watch the 40-year-old tennis

icon go to battle against a net-contivite of Estonia, a much higher seed and a much younger

player. Most thought it would be Serena Swan song. It was not. The 23-time Grand Slam

singles champion entered the stadium in a diamond encrusted dress and blinged out sneakers

one in three nail-biting sets and left talk of retirement for another day. She'll play

again on Friday.

Americans will once again be urged to roll up their sleeves as early as next week, following

yesterday's FDA authorization of two new COVID vaccines. The latest booster shots are designed
