re: Musk is launching a rocket/week, Nasa can't stop leaks with 10x budget

The tech used may not be identical but is comparable. Musk is launching and reusing rockets every 5 days. The no limit budget nasa folks have scrubbed the mission twice now and may defer till next year.
Aren't we currently several days into a several week long SpaceX delay on getting astronauts to the iss
and I'd hate to point the delay is entirely because of one of those reused rockets.

John Glenn's first orbital flight was delayed eight times before it got off the ground. This kind of shite happens.
Come on man. Glen was trying to do the first thing ever, orbit a human being.
Artemis is 7 years behind schedule and they cannot light the candle yet. There is really 0% innovation of the rocket side, so that is why this is sad.
If the capsule did not reach lunar insertion, that would be something we could respect. The inability to get the rocket off the ground using tech that is 40 years old is an embarrassment.

According to the articles I read, the first delay was related to damage caused by the rocket striking a bridge during transport, and the second delay is due to other activity in space over the next few weeks that makes it’s less than ideal to launch. Didn’t see anything about it being due to the fact that the rocket is reusable.

NASA fanboys will say even the space shuttle had issues.
GUBMENT pushed a lot of those launches forward disregarding compromising safety issues.

Also...I love how everyone of you are blowing SpaceX right now considering it took them almost 20 years from the time they were founded to the time they finally put a crew of astronauts into outer space. NASA was founded in 1958 and put a man on the moon in 11 years. SpaceX is still in earth orbit.
NASA is currently 0.48% of the federal budget, whereas they were 2% of the budget in 1969.
I don't know. Give SpaceX 2% of the US budget for the last 20 years, and I'd be curious to see what they could have done. We'd probably be living on Mars now.

My guess is a woke NASA worker subbed a part that called for a “male to female” fitting.

We need more gender fluid plumbing.

the moon is a touch further away than the distance to launch satellites, but yes, it does seem we should be able to find some of these issues prior to launch day.

So what old technology are you referring to and what's wrong with it?
quote:
As directed by Congress in 2010, NASA developed its next-generation heavy-lift rocket and crew capsule with "space shuttle-derived components ... that use existing United States propulsion systems, including liquid fuel engines, external tank or tank-related capability and solid rocket motor engines."
The result is an SLS powered by four modified space shuttle main engines and two extended shuttle solid rocket boosters. Orion is also powered using an engine that previously maneuvered the shuttle in orbit. All three elements of the Artemis 1 SLS and Orion have flight histories that date back decades, as far back as August 1984.
