NASA cancels Artemis Launch

[Hawkeye10]

Disagreed.

We can compromise....but you are close to my Navy callsign. LOL

Surely it is too much to hope that you have anything both honest and intelligent to say on the thread topic.

America has the tech. It's the funding and focus that matters.

I grew up with the Space Race. This testimony by Dr. Neil deGrasse Tyson before Congress is very inspirational for those who still want to live life as a mortal:

I live in a WOKE dystopia where dissent is not allowed, this I know.

And yet you dissent without repercussion... It kind of puts a lie to your claims.

Not all of #10's bells have clappers.

“We will launch when we are ready,But mark my words, we are going. When the final go is given, Artemis I will roar to life and soar to the moon.

NASA administrator Bill Nelson

Maybe yes, maybe no.

Performance thus far does not inspire confidence.

[Hawkeye10]

Wildy late, wildly over budget, on launch attempt #3 for the first mission.

YA.

[Hawkeye10]

Well, at least they have not blown it up yet.

NASA's delayed Artemis rocket launch to Moon shows perils of liquid hydrogen fuel

But by far the most challenging problem is working in cryogenic conditions.

Hydrogen can slip through the smallest of cracks, especially when it is chilled under pressure, and ultra-low temperatures can make materials — even metal — brittle.

"If you hit steel at that temperature, it will just shatter," Mr Scott-Kilsby said.

"It's one of the reasons that SpaceX and a lot of new companies have moved away from hydrogen, because while you get that peak performance, those additional challenges offset the benefits."

Colonizing another world will simply accelerate the dumbasses' destruction of this one.

We don't even have an ocean floor habitation yet. Dumbasses.

Remember Apollo 1 fire and the so called pogo effect, properly speaking, a thrust axis vibration response on the Apollo 6 J2 engines.

Shockingly enough todays fueling test proves that NASA has not solved the problem of leaks by changing some parts and using a new procedure. This now certainly looks like design failure.

NASA will almost certainly want to try to launch on the 27th, but the military is now in charge of public safety and must issue a launch permit.

Does anyone know the NASA record for most consecutive non weather related scrubs deep into the countdown?

Google is not helpful.

No. Sorry.

Why do you continuously see the world in a negative light, #10? As a kid were you always looking for demons and shitty deals, or did you love life? What happened to clog you up?

Do you see most people as good or bad, #10?

[Hawkeye10]

They had a fuel leak above allowed limits and had to shut down fueling, but this test has been proclaimed a success.

NASA 2022.
