"Intuitive Machines Lunar Lander Launch Delayed Again Due to Fueling Issue"

TL;DR Summary
SpaceX postponed the launch of an Intuitive Machines lunar lander by a day due to a problem with fueling the spacecraft on the launch pad, rescheduling the launch for Feb. 15. The Nova-C lander uses liquid oxygen and methane propellants and requires fueling on the launch pad, a process that was modified by SpaceX. Despite the delay, the landing on the moon remains scheduled for Feb. 22, carrying six NASA payloads and six non-NASA payloads.
