Ask Elon Musk what to do. He’s the rocket scientist.

Back to the drawing board.
I would guess that each launching attempt is very costly, whether successful or not.
Maybe they’ll allow a few weeks to pass before try number 3.

Valves are a pain. We had one that stuck every time we recovered from a reactor scram. Then there were the other two types that used to peeve me, the ones that leaked and the ones that were going too.

Not an engineer. Just an old numbers cruncher. But it seems to me it’s impossible to have an expected failure rate of all the mission critical parts of some machine be precisely equal to zero out to however many decimal places you’d like. And the larger and more complicated the machine in question, the more frequently you’re going to see a sudden catastrophic failure of some kind.

So it makes me nervous when they start talking about.. “Let’s build this big complicated rocket ship, put a whole bunch of people on it, and blast it off into outer space.” lol

They need more diversity! Send some trannies to unstuck it. Maybe a few muzzies can help. Trannies and muzzies side by side.

The expression “C... F...” seems to be appropriate...
Possibly, NASA has failed to attain the optimum diversity balance...
