NASA contractors, not so much. Don't you recall the official mission statement of NASA when obola was president? "In a far-reaching restatement of goals for the nation’s space agency, NASA administrator Charles Bolden says President Obama has ordered him to pursue three new objectives: to 're-inspire children' to study science and math, to 'expand our international relationships,' and to 'reach out to the Muslim world.' Of those three goals, Bolden said in a recent interview with al-Jazeera, the mission to reach out to Muslims is 'perhaps foremost,' because it will help Islamic nations 'feel good' about their scientific accomplishments." "Bolden made the statements during a recent trip to the Middle East. He told al-Jazeera that in the wake of the president’s speech in Cairo last year, the American space agency is now pursuing 'a new beginning of the relationship between the United States and the Muslim world.'

And even if it does, it will blow apart before it reaches escape velocity. Welcome to the new diverse and woke NASA! Meanwhile, SpaceX has now 176 launches under their belt at a fraction of the cost. |

In the third phase of its HLS procurement process NASA awarded SpaceX a contract in April 2021 to develop, produce, and demonstrate Starship HLS. A crewed flight will occur as part of the Artemis 3 mission, no earlier than April 2025, after an earlier uncrewed test flight successfully lands on the Moon and returns to NRHO. |

It's not so hard now and they are very much standing on the shoulders of both Apollo and the Space Shuttle programs. They are talking about getting to the surface of the moon within 3 flights on a budget and accompanying political will that nowhere near resembles what NASA had to work with during the Apollo program. The Apollo program had significantly more baby steps before they actually set a person down on the Lunar surface. If I understand the history correctly, there were 4 Saturn rocket flights before they sent people around the moon (4, 5, 6, and 7) and another 3 before they actually landed people on it (8, 9, 10) and before all that they killed a few guys during the botched run up to the Apollo 1 attempt. |

Can't help but wonder though, how it's all going to work out if they have a "13" moment or visibility on the lander goes to shit with fuel running out the last 25ft or so. I'm sure it'll all be fine. |

NASA was forced to postpone its highly anticipated Artemis I mission Monday following a leak in engine 3 that was not detected in the last wet dress rehearsal due to testing being cut short because of a separate hydrogen leak.
The issue was identified around 7:30am ET and the launch was officially scrubbed at 8:35am ET. Now the hundreds of thousands of people who attended the event are heading home without seeing the first stage of the epic moon mission kick off. Jonathan McDowell, an astrophysicist at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics, told DailyMail.com that if NASA would have conducted the engine 'bleeding' process in the last wet rehearsal the world may have seen Space Launch System (SLS) take off. 'It's one of many engine-related things that happens during the countdown,' McDowell said. 'I am skeptical they will try again on Friday, I think the delay is likely to be longer.' NASA, which acknowledged the engine was not tested, said it will collect data on the engine bleed and depending on what is gathered, the agency will attempt another launch on Friday at 12:48pm ET. 'We don't launch until it's right,' NASA administrator Bill Nelson said after an engine temperature issue forced liftoff from Kennedy Space Center to be scrubbed. 'This is a very complicated machine,' Nelson said. 'You don't want to light the candle until it's ready to go.' The Orion capsule, which is uncrewed, houses three test dummies fitted with sensors to measure vibration, cosmic radiation and other conditions. The trio is set to complete the six-week mission that is scheduled to end with the capsule's splashdown in the Pacific in October.    Kamala Harris was also one of the hundreds of thousands of people watching the event in Florida    The leaking engine, along with a crack in the core stage, were identified around 7:30am ET. NASA immediately stopped the clock at T-minus 40 minutes   More |
