NASA said we were Killing the Planet and on the verge of turning into a raging inferno in just a few short years, can’
t they use Rockets that use non Carbon Emitting Green Energy?

Boeing - the company that gave us the 737 Max and the failed KC-46 tanker program. Their social media team is going to need to get busy on FR.

The Not Always Science Agency has been failing for years.

The SLS was out dated the first time SpaceX landed a rocket vertically. We need to scrap it. It is time all the other launch system companies got on board with 21st century technology. The SLS was always life support for the remnant industry that had supported the space shuttle. But it has had the effect of institutionalizing the past. The more the old guard digs in, or gets supported by big contracts, the farther ahead companies that are actually innovating will get.

I think manned space flight is a waste. The one thing the ISS is teaching us is that the human body is not suitable for space travel. They have to exercise for >2hrs/day and they are still invalids when they get back. Food, water, oxygen, temperature, radiation, psychological problems, these are all issues that are not going to go away. We have by far gained more knowledge at lower cost from unmanned probes. All we get from manned space travel that could not be done by machine is cool pictures of people floating around.

If I were king, I would take the money spent on manned space travel and divide it between unmanned probes and basic research into physics. Manned space travel, the way we really want it, isn't going to happen until we solve some fundamental problems, like the speed of light and artificial gravity. In the mean time, we could be exploring and learning about our solar system, and maybe even sending probes to our nearest stellar neighbor.

OK, flame away :-)

That’s correct.

SLS will be the most powerful rocket ever used for manned space flight.

More lift than Atlas.

Different software; different department.

NASA has the SLS and Orion spacecraft. Both are falling behind. SpaceX has flown the Dragon 2 atop a Falcon Heavy rocket, a manned flight is coming soon. Boeing has its Boeing CST-100 Starliner, which will fly soon atop a Atlas V N22, to be followed by a manned flight this summer. After the Atlas V N22 comes the Atlas V Heavy.

NASA can't compte, even with taxpayer's money. NASA has two commercial options to the SLS and Orion. Use them.

[Political Junkie Too]

I'm sorry, but I have to ask...

Is this just more of the leftist Maoist purge of anyone or anything of higher intelligence who has become deemed a threat to the leftist order?

Is Boeing's recent troubles with the improper documentation of new features of the 737 MAX being propagandized into justification for destroying them, because they are our most successful company in the aerospace field?

-—The Space Launch System (SLS) “is struggling to meet its schedule,” NASA Administrator Jim Bridenstine said at a Senate hearing Wednesday.-—

This kind of talk was what led to the Challenger disaster in the mid eighties. They had been under heavy pressure to launch and NASA rolled the dice, even though the temperatures were unusually chilly. If memory serves, the cold caused the O-rings to malfunction.

Let’s hope cooler heads prevail this time around.
