SpaceX doesn't hide from its test failures
In fact... the company itself made a YouTube video about it

what Artemis is
Artemis was the sister of Apollo in mythology.
The Artemis project is NASA's plan to return to the moon. Also, in their words, "Artemis will land the first woman and first person of color on the Moon."

Artemissed!

What? No Muslim outreach? Maybe we should let the woman and POC construct a moon mosque while there.

Space-X isn’t in charge so there is a good chance NASA will frick up, and it never leaves earth.
Who here just knew this would get postponed?
NASA should just officially sell their name to SpaceX and let's call it a day. While it isn't shocking that private enterprise thrives where government run/funded projects always shite the bed, reading this was just funny to me:

The Engine No. 3 conditioning issue cropped up as NASA worked through a series of glitches during the countdown, including a liquid hydrogen leak early in the fueling process and a possible crack in a part of core booster known as the intertank flange, which connects the SLS's giant liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen tanks. The tanks can hold a combined 730,000 gallons (3.3 million liters) of propellant.
"The flanges are connection joints that function like a seam on a shirt, are affixed at the top and bottom of the intertank so the two tanks can be attached to it," NASA said in the update.
NASA engineers found that the crack was actually in the insulating foam on the flange, not in the rocket's metal structure. "That ice that formed is essentially air that's being chilled by the tank that gets trapped inside of a crack in the foam but not the actual tank," Nail said.
After watching 2 shuttles explode because of cracks in things, you'd think they'd have this ironed out by now.
I'm sure the astronauts who will eventually be on the manned mission were thrilled to see this.

Riiiiiight, like SpaceX's next scheduled trip to the iss isn't currently in delay.

After reading about the myriad of issues being dealt with on the SLS right now, I am reminded of this line from Apollo 13:

That video was awesome. I love the humility shown and the ability to laugh at their failures. If that was the government they would have spent millions more covering up their mistakes.

This needs a lot of cleaning up.

NASA: “This terminology is problematic.”
I don’t know what the new proper term is, but I’m sure there is one. And it probably cost millions in tax dollars to erase such language from the books at NASA, along with the sensitivity training likely required for all NASA employees as a result.

Here's the best comment from my grandpa's 40 year retirement book from McDonnell Douglas... I believe it was 91, maybe 92.

If this fails, SpaceX value goes through the roof (wish it were public). Boeing, General Dynamics and Lockheed would take a hit.
If you an accredited investor you can obtain private shares in SpaceX, but they come with a ~20% profits interest fee usually. SpaceX is my largest holding.
But if SLS fails then the Artemis program is probably cancelled or delayed until Starship is human rated from launch on Earth to lunar touchdown, which could be 5-6 years or more.

Sorry, didn’t realize Artemis was involved with Space X. Still though, anytime NASA, and our fricked up guberment is invoked in I don’t trust anymore. They are not the NASA of old.
What are you talking about? They've had success after success after success of all kinds of things over the past several years.

Didn’t they build the tank at Michoud? It’s that cheap arse foam they use. If destroya hadn’t taken up all the money for her damn vacations they wouldn’t have to use the cut rate foam for the tanks.

So they finally gave us clearance to come back the moon, even if we have been regulated to the poles. Nice. No littering this time

I bet they'd rather them have processes to catch things like this and scrub then just saying

Teedy is actually going to see the launch (now postponed).
