With the energy involved, there is no winging it.
Who would even sign off on the risk of destroying an entire program without a successful safety check of the entire launch system. Oh wait, someone with the initials KH was there to show off the successful management of NASA under Biden.
53 years ago, we landed men on the moon...Today, we can’t even launch an unmanned vehicle...
yeah but on the bright side, at least the engineering team is the most diverse ever
Nasa is now incompetent at its actual job because it is a politically corrected government-run legacy agency whose mission has become the imposition of mediocrity and humanist ideology above achievement.
Artemis is intended to land the first woman and the first black man on the Moon!
It is a political mission—NOT a scientific and exploratory mission like Apollo!!!! Therefore, it is jinxed!!!! And kamala helps jinx it!!!!
We shall long for the days of Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin!!!! Computers were much more primitive then than they are now. But the purpose and the patriotism behind the earlier missions were MUCH stronger and more laudable!!!!

For what?
More wodnerful things like Tang, Velcro,
and ball-point pens that can write upside down?
Well we can always catch a ride with China or Russia.
Any guess at amount of “necessary testing” omitted in every government high tech program, in the name of pleasing congressional staffer’s schedule objectives?
Perhaps they should ask Elon Musk for help. He not only did it with private funding but he has managed to get the first stage to come home to be used again.
Super Diversity and Inclusion is destroying NASA
Cobbled together rocket engines on wings and prayers hoping no one would notice ... another big NASA fail.
All problems being discussed right now via media briefing, next launch attempt is saturday
I predicted this failure. it was really easy cause the odds were 1000 to one in my favor.

All this so they can land the first black woman on the moon
...with the countdown clock proceeding no further than T-40 minutes. An “engine bleed” issue prevented one of the rocket’s four RS-25 engines from reaching the required ultra-cold temperature for liftoff, resulting in the scrub.

This is Flight Control. We’re holding at T -40 requesting pronouns.
