This conversation with "I believe" "I think" etc is not very reassuring.

Who trained these people? Geesh. Prayers for the brave astronauts.


Probably on the horn with Team Musk, NASA needs some encouragement and reassurance.

The Artemis II crew marks several firsts. Mr. Glover, the pilot, is to be the first Black man to travel around the moon. Ms. Koch is to be the first woman, and Mr. Hansen would be the first Canadian to make the journey.

Looks as if we're still using 60's era camera work

But are they the best?

If they are, I'm ok with it.

But...if they aren't and the mission fails?

There are probably dozens that are the best. They have the shite mission. They arent going to put a foot on the moon.

One of the issues with the cameras onboard the rocket is that the vibration is very difficult to isolate. I worked on this issue for a year with JPL and Boeing. The communications connections between a COTS camera and a COTS lens are pretty solid until you apply huge vibration oscillations and g-forces. If the shakes loose it can come back or not. We worked on the "or not" issue.

On the ground, that was surprising. That system has a laser designator for smooth tracking. The team responsible for that, on the most important launch in a long time, have got to be embarrassed that they screwed that up.
