This launch could say a lot about our future as to wether we still have the right stuff. Frankly, I doubt nasa still does.
I do wish it success, just can’t see it happening after NASA traded merit and competence for diversity and “equity” in the field of endeavor most requiring absolute fact and perfection.
NASA has the right stuff. And you, me and every other taxpayer supplies it. I was a design engineering lead for a couple of the early years a decade ago on this program as a subcontractor, and it was a Sh-show compared to ISS, where I was a design engineer starting in 1989. I have no doubt this launch will succeed, as long as I can trust my sources still working the program. I wish I could say it was worth the price or that cost was ethically considered.

NASA contracts ALL of the work out to the usual aerospace companies. It will work just fine.
