Quote HistoryQuoted: I've noticed in the past few weeks articles now referring to SLS/Artemis as "The most powerful rocket NASA has ever launched"   Poor Nasa's going to have to edit lots of video and propaganda at KSC. Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: It looks like the SLS and Starship race to first launch is going to get interesting again with reporters saying the SLS' most likely next launch attempt won't be until the Nov 14-27 window. While I want to see Artemis 1 fly, I think it would be fitting for NASA to have to refer to it as the second most powerful rocket in the world if Space X can pull it off first.

Based on the livecam, everything is back to normal and the door is closing. So it seems like it was probably pretty minor.

Press conference with NASA right now on the rollback. One question was if they were going to try to launch in October and the representative said nothing is off the table but it would be very difficult for it to launch in October as they have other things they need to work around. Mid-November would be more likely. Apparently there are batteries and other limited life items that need to be monitored and replaced. To make an October launch they might not have time to replace some of the limited life components and other checks would be rushed. Cubesats would need to be recharged now as there levels have dropped due to all the delays. It's a 7-8 day process from when they decide to go for a launch to get the SLS rolled back out, connected, and everything prepped and reviewed for a launch.
As to the fire it was a 40 volt electrical panel on the wall of high bay 3. They are unsure of the cause. |

Teams Confirm No Damage to Flight Hardware, Focus on November for Launch Teams at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida conducted initial inspections Friday to assess potential impacts from Hurricane Ian. There was no damage to Artemis flight hardware, and facilities are in good shape with only minor water intrusion identified in a few locations. Next, engineers will extend access platforms around the Space Launch System rocket and Orion spacecraft inside the Vehicle Assembly Building (VAB) to prepare for additional inspections and start preparation for the next launch attempt, including retesting the flight termination system. As teams complete post-storm recovery operations, NASA has determined it will focus Artemis I launch planning efforts on the launch period that opens Nov. 12 and closes Nov. 27. Over the coming days, managers will assess the scope of work to perform while in the VAB and identify a specific date for the next launch attempt. Focusing efforts on the November launch period allows time for employees at Kennedy to address the needs of their families and homes after the storm and for teams to identify additional checkouts needed before returning to the pad for launch. |

What a fucking embarrassment this whole program has been for the Country. It's 4-5x more expensive to launch this dumb fucking rocket than it was the SPACE SHUTTLE! You know.... the super expensive thing to launch that everybody complained was way to expensive. This retarded project makes the Space Shuttle look like a bargain, darn near Dollar Tree store value. There is no good excusable reason to cost 2 billion per flight. It's all horribly bad mismanagement from start to finish.
I'm starting to thinking even humanity just becoming a inner solar system civilization is a super pipe dream. If people who run this program are allowed to continue on other projects. |

The reason it costs two billion per flight is one copy has to pay the annual costs of the entire standing army.
Plus, it has a bunch of facility expenses hidden in its costs. |

You got SpaceX landing used Stages back to Earth like a decade ago....  yeah that's a sharp gut punch.... because Artemis has none of that.NASA has been talking about wanting to build bases on other planets and the moon. NOT happening with a 2 billion per flight machine. In fact, I bet Artemis is quickly abandoned as a project. It is unsustainable. Either NASA ditches it or the rocket will bring the whole thing down. |

We could be on a different fucking (figurative) planet by the time starship has launched 10 times. Starship Orion probably needs to be a thing. Or starship crew dragon. Idk. I’m partly mad Elon is so insane he has only planned on full reliable quick landing and reuse from the get go and no intermediary disposable second stage. Maybe NASA asked him to not fuck with SLS and that’s why he hasn’t touched that third rail. Because it could and probably should kill SLS/Orion before Artemis 4 |

"Nov. 14 with liftoff of the Space Launch System (SLS) rocket carrying the Orion spacecraft planned during a 69-minute launch window that opens at 12:07 a.m. EST"
So... Since it technically becomes the next day at midnight... actually the 13th is when to get ready to watch this. I haven't seen anything about when the rollout will be... anyone got any news for that? |
