Hindenburg?
Where’s Matt Damon when you need a rocket scientist?
NASA 2022 motto
“Repeating what we did 50 years ago but with wokeness, gender diversity and equality..and shuddup about the cost”
Anybody think the best and the brightest are at NASA like the Apollo program?
Hindenburg?

Next time ...
probably going to roll back to the VAB to check out the leak, awaiting the nasa presser
They messed up. Everyone knows that hydrogen is a small molecule and sneaks out through the smallest hole. Should be even worse in space, with zero external air pressure.
They should have just lit it off, I’m pretty sure it would have been fine.
Couldn’t send a nerd up there with some epoxy and duct tape?
They’ll spend a trillion dollars if they have to to get the first black woman on the moon
Do they have some kind of quality control problem?
Seems like NASA has a habit of ignoring warnings from engineers.
I detest the “wokeness, gender diversity and equality” but not sure what they have to do with a leaking seal in a quick-disconnect fitting.
Wokeness etc calls into question the quality of the design, build, maintenance and operation personnel.
Big space fan here, but I can’t help wondering whether 30 years of carrying out all those boring zero gravity plant growth experiments might have been better spent trying to figure out how to PREVENT A DAMNED HYDROGEN LEAK!!!
No, not today. The engineers that are chosen on merit are the equal and superior to those of the past. Those that have their positions not based on merit are inferior.
Ben Carson a black pediatric neurosurgeon is at the top of the game in skill. John Hopkins thought so. As my children are now grown it is not a subject. If I needed a neurosurgeon for them when children I would have wanted Ben Carson. His color means nothing to me. His skills mean everything to me.
ps
Dad worked on Apollo. He was working with the escape rocket system if a launch failure occurred. Most fortunately never needed. This lack of such was a fatal flaw in the Shuttle Launch System.
Should’ve let Spacex do it.

O-rings again?

It could in an overall, general way but it’s a stretch to apply that reasoning to the fitting, which is supplied by a contractor who will consult and handle defects or anomalies.
