Hydrogen fuel leaks -
Although hydrogen is a great and abundant fuel, it is also the smallest element that leaks through the smallest nano-pores. Patience is needed to detect and seal leaks in NASA's new rocket.

Quite an achievement. The largest and most powerful rocket ever flown.
I am reading your posts in two different threads, and cannot help seeing the irony:Maybe the technical issues with hydrogen leaking have been solved. It's an ambitious program.
If only the tanks used on rockets were as good as the ones in cars...... All hydrogen tanks are regulated worldwide, and the regulations significantly restrict the leak rate to miniscule levels. The tanks are engineered using three separate layers. One layer is a plastic inner lining, the next is a sheet of carbon fiber, and finally an outer layer of glass fiber completes the seal.
