Tell me that rocket they will sit this thing on won’t have the same Russian rockets that might have blown up recently?

Wiki says:
It would reportedly require over 200 changes to the RS-68 to meet human-rating standards.[13] NASA states several changes are needed to human-rate the RS-68, including health monitoring, removal of fuel-rich environment at liftoff, and improved subsystems robustness
Did they make those changes already?

The Delta IV is a Boeing design built in Alabama. No Russian garage-sale rockets here.

"The Delta IV is a Boeing design built in Alabama. No Russian garage-sale rockets here." Right - new stuff all around, American made via United Launch Alliance (Boeing/Lockheed-Martin collaboration) near me in Decatur, AL.

The Delta IV Heavy rocket that will be carrying this payload is built in the USA by Boeing and uses Aerojet-Rocketdyne RS-68A engines also built in the USA.

Orion Spacecraft Complete I'm confused. What has all this got to do with caliph Heussein 0bama's edict for muslim outreach?

The December flight test will send Orion 3,600 miles from Earth on a two-orbit flight intended to ensure the spacecraft’s critical systems are ready for the challenges of deep space missions. During the 4.5-hour flight, called Exploration Flight Test-1, Orion will travel farther than any crewed spacecraft has gone in more than 40 years, before returning to Earth at speeds near 20,000 mph and generating temperatures up to 4,000 degrees Fahrenheit.
What? 4.5 hour trip and it will travel farther than what?

Send your name into space along with Orion, now during the EFT-1 mission and in the future when we head for Mars:

They are quite a sight to watch launch.
I saw one go up a few years ago from Savannah, GA, about 230 miles north of Canaveral.
Much more impressive than Shuttle launches from here.

Yes, but how are they going to ensure that the Moslem prayer rug inside is always properly aligned with the divine meteorite in Mecca?
To: GeronL
Tell me that rocket they will sit this thing on won’t have the same Russian rockets that might have blown up recently? No, of course not, they'll use completely new old russian rockets that haven't blown up yet! America used to be a leader in Space, now under Lord Foul, we take a back seat to everyone and apologize if we accidently excel at something.

Yeah, they've been around for quite a while longer than I thought they had. And in a number of launch configurations from small to heavy.
Once we get obola out of the picture, maybe it's time to get excited about the space program again.
