Yep. Too bad. Lots of media there for this now on the phone with their travel agents.

People who talk about NASA waste really have no clue all the tech that came from NASA or was created to support NASA.
NASA should be focused now on developing probes and leave the rocket development to the private sector. SLS is a fully expendable 4 billion dollars per launch. Starship will have launch costs of just a few million dollars per launch and be 100% reusable. Once Starship is human rated, there is no justification what so ever for SLS to continue to exist. SLS is only needed as a temporary bridge so that the Artemis program can get astronauts to the moon before Starship is human rated for launch.

Elon would have prevented this.

Scrubbed for today

Next earliest launch window will be Sept 2nd.

It's embarrassing to learn that they wanted to see this in the wet dress rehearsal but couldn't because THAT was halted because of a leaky hose.
I mean seriously, what in the frick is going on here? We pay way too much foe this shite

bloated cost plus contracts on top of it.
We spent like $280 billion (in today's dollars) on Apollo.
Seems like the current project is a bargain so far

Is the storage tank more protected than the rocket tank?
Not familiar with the hardware or systems but the storage tank is a ground system and can be as robust as needed. The flight tank would be as light as possible.

Friday launch seems like it’ll be more fun anyway.

Once again, fake news

SpaceX will be headed to Mars while NASA is still only on the Moon.

So I'm pretty high, and on a yuge space let down... so i pulled out my grandpa's mini binder of space shite. I found this awesome handwritten section in it, but it didn't address lightning directly
I love the title of it.

Probably thought the old engines would be fine

SpaceX is part of this program, too.
Also, it’s not like SpaceX hasn’t had plenty of failures in their history. They do incredible work, but there are still flaws that arise. Yes, they're are ahead of NASA in many ways, but every space program has issues.

According to the Apollo missions, ancient engines are superior to new.
