Overnight, the flow of helium to the rocket’s upper stage was interrupted, officials said. Solid helium flow is essential for purging the engines and pressurizing the fuel tanks.
NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman said a bad filter, valve or connection plate could be to blame for the stalled helium flow. Regardless of the cause, he noted, the only way to access the area and fix the problem is in the Vehicle Assembly Building at Kennedy Space Center.
There is nothing clickbait-y about that headline tho. The headline says that they were hit by a new problem. And described the problem and it’s expected to bump the astronauts’ lunar trip into april. What in the world do you think is clickbait-y about that headline?!
That’s not click bait. It doesn’t bury the salient fact of what the problem is, but leaves the detail of the problem in the article.
If you’re going to an article to find out what the headline means then it’s click bait. If you’re going to the article because you are interested more detail for what the headline has told you it’s not.
Click bait headlines can die.

Fortunately, we’re allowed to have different opinions.
