“the smallest molecule in the universe”

That was my first guess before I even read the article.

This hydrogen thingy is super high tech—hope the woke zombies at NASA can figure it out...

This is something to keep in mind when folks dream of hydrogen powered cars.

Doesn’t say much for NASA’s testing regimen.

The guys who built the Saturn V and the Space Shuttle got this to work.

Apparently it’s now a lost art.

I grew up with the Mercury, Gemini, and Apollo programs.

60 years later and we’re still using rockets.

Sigh.

It’s not like NASA has been using liquid hydrogen as a fuel for more than fifty years or anything.

Never worked with liquid hydrogen but liquid helium is difficult.

But hydrogen—the smallest molecule in the universe—often finds its way through even the tiniest of openings.

Are we even capable of completing a manned moon mission anymore? I have doubts.

If hydrogen (H2) is like helium, it will leak out of everything, even a steel tank.

Because $4.1B is not enough, need another $5B. Or you could just give Elon $1B and be done with it.

The Engineers who designed/built the Apollo rockets did it with sliderules.

They should fuel the rockets with helium instead of hydrogen. Much safer.

NASA handled LH2 just fine for Saturn V upper stages.
NASA handled LH2 just fine for STS.
Euros handle LH2 just fine for Ariane 5 and Ariane 6
ULA handles LH2 just fine for Delta IV and Delta IV heavy
ULA handles LH2 just fine for Atlas V upper stage

It’s not like LH2 is some kind of new, untested fuel that nobody is really familiar with ...
