Important article explaining one reason the Orion mission is going to have major issues not yet disclosed to the public:

The entire web site is worth a long, hard look:

Hmm, must be time for another multi-billion dollar injection into NASAs diversity efforts. Engineering is just a side job.

Unfinished capsule to launch on top of unfinished booster to link up with not-even-started lunar lander - in time for 2014 lunar landing.

Put me down for “not going to happen, not even close”

Like a Buick where you need to lift the engine to get to some of the plugs?

With Lockheed/NASA on the case, you’ll be lucky if you see this turd launch by 2071. Manwhile, Elon Musk will be sipping tea with his whore in a nother galaxy.

Oops. Definitely not going to make it to the moon six years ago!

Note to NASA. If biden steals this election NASA will never land another American on the moon or anyone else for that matter.

Meanwhile, in Boca Chica, Starship SN-8 is getting ready for suborbital test flight.

With the installation of our new tyrannical Coviet regime under Slo Joe and Cameltoe anybody stupid enough to trust their lives to affirmative action engineering in the new era Space Force will likely be burnt to crisps like so many of the Cosmonauts of Soviet Russia.

Give it to Elon Musk and SpaceX, they’ll have it fixed by noon at 1% of the cost....

The Russians consider a manned moon mission technically impossible at this time.

See post #2.

So it looks like we will be the only ones cruel enough to send folks out to their deaths there.

The Conclusion (from the referenced link below):
This BIRD Radiation Detector report seemingly confirms that the dosimetry radiation data for the manned Apollo lunar flights was collected while remaining in LEO. Whether deliberately or unwittingly, NASA’s own data has blown apart the notion that a manned Apollo crew ever traveled to the Moon.

https://www.aulis.com/orion_vanallens.htm

Since the Apollo manned missions to the Moon never happened, we can all forget what we actually saw - this data completely nullifies our memories and our lying eyes. Her next paper will be “The Lie of The Spherical Earth - Showing Proof That The Sun Revolves Around the Earth at The Center of the Universe”.

Hard to see how this project, SLS, or even the Space Station continues under Biden, so this problem is no big deal.

We’re pretty much done with manned space, at for NASA, and the money freed up from that is a nice chunk of change that Biden’s people can hand out to their friends.

...unless, of course, we hold the Senate.

“Like a Buick where you need to lift the engine to get to some of the plugs?”

Decades ago I worked on a Winnebego that ran crappy. I was able to replace all of the plugs but one. They put the house right on top of it...I tried for hours, then told the owner, sorry, no dice.
