SLS launch in the morning

[FredR]

Get your popcorn! Hope it's not a $23 billion explosion.

Did they say where it is being televised?

 

[FredR]

Definitely on NASA TV.

Don't know If I have that on this Sling bullshit

 

[WOPL Sniffer]

We'll see what happens tomorrow.


NASA moon rocket on track for launch despite lightning hits
Officials said Sunday that neither the rocket nor capsule suffered any damage during Saturday’s thunderstorm; ground equipment also was unaffected.

FINALLY…

Then Gateway, the lunar base and then off to Mars.

This will be the furthest a human passenger capable craft has ever been from our planet.

Actually lots of radical stuff nearly as impressive as the Apollo program.

And not for weather, fuel leaks if you can trust the reports.

 

[J!m]

Or not leaking, when it should be.

I think they were purging fuel to prime the engines and #3 (I think) wasn't playing nice.

 

[grapplesaw]

They had multiple problems. Fuel leak, valve issue and communications error. It’s ok Boeing is in charge. A few more billion and they may get it. You may or may not know Canada is helping fund this thing. I’m not impressed nor should you

They made sure the manikins onboard were vaccinated???

 

[J!m]

I know Canada provides the Canadarm or whatever they call it but didn’t know they chipped in for toques for the mannequins.

“Take off your hoser!”

That aughta get’er movin’.

 

[Skratch]

Claim an engine cooling problem

 

[FredR]

They build SLS using spare 40 year old Shuttle hardware and surprise, same hydrogen fuel leak that scrubbed many Shuttle launch attempts! Go figure. Ten years in development and $23 billion should be modern designs.

 

[Skratch]

Should have bought their engines from Estes

 

[Gepetto]

Damn, you mean they started with a 4 finner??

Why should you not be impressed with the most complicated rocket ever made that will eventually get you to mars???

I am impressed with “Starship” Perry
if you follow what they can do in a day compared what NASA does in a decade you may to.
