ARF Aerospace contractors, I need you help for a important project!
Dennis Wingo with Skycorp needs some items fabb'd on short notice to fulfill a contract to fly to the International Space Station. https://www.skycorpinc.com/ 3-4 units of FQE-20014 and 20015 – material SS 440 Email me at [email protected] and I will provide you with drawings and docs for the parts. You can also message me on the forum but I need to have an email to provide the drawings and docs. |

For clarity:
If I send you the packet, ignore the EDM requirement, Dennis has a contractor lined-up to do the EDM work. |

I ran across this article a couple of days ago: https://arstechnica.com/science/2021/10/nasa-wants-to-buy-sls-rockets-at-half-price-fly-them-into-the-2050s/
Fly them for the next 30 years?  |

*Sad SLS noises*
I’m holding off the update just because the sad news keeps piling up. |

It's particularly sad when you consider that the first Artemis-1 launch was supposed to be in 2017.

Waiting to watch SpaceX just do it, even if it's just a landing and return with no eva.

Augustine's Law XI: If the Earth could be made to rotate twice as fast, managers would get twice as much done. If the Earth could be made to rotate twenty times as fast, everyone else would get twice as much done since all the managers would fly off. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: NASA's doing a lot of the work themselves too. That's part of the problem. You basically have two parallel bureaucracies schedule slipping off each other for perpetuity. That’s probably why it’s always preferable to lie like musk and say “by the end of this month” so the entire schedule starts from a “soon as possible” posture. |

Wildly optimistic (and totally unrealistic) promises about schedules and deadlines is definitely something Musk has in common with Old Space ... but at least he is burning his own money, and not the taxpayer's.

SpaceX sends people into orbit regularly now. REAL orbit, not just a dick ride barely above the clouds. When was the last time NASA had that capability? |

Elon is fucking crazy. November 2019 we will be orbital with starship in 6 months! Lol. Humans on mars in 2024!! Lol. But it most likely is a positive goal and aligns the entire company to moving as fast as possible. Unlike old space and nasa. Who plan things 7 years out and 5 years in say its 4 years out. |
