Hard to believe there is enough skilled labor to do it there

And where do those people live? Slidell? The east is a shitshow

I bet Lakeisha was on the phone for at least 75% of the time that she was inspecting the components.

Forgot the module they’re currently sitting in, as well as some of the other parts that were jettisoned. Build in New Orleans at the same plant.

The son of a friend of ours works on that project.

I was talking with him at a crawfish boil the other day and he said he sure hopes it works out right because if it doesn't they won't be asked to build another one.

Haven't watched a launch in many years - that was fantastic and I marveled at the engines - had no idea they were manufactured in N.O.

Don't think the engines are manufactured at MAF. At one time they were installed on the rocket there.
