Part and parcel of working with rockets. Thoughts and prayers. We will learn from this.

Remember when NASA blasted the soviet union when they took the Buran to the 1989 paris airshow through a storm? Will they apply the same level of criticism to last nights events with SLS?

>implying NASA wont still cry about contaminations when they find similar bacterial groupings on mars

Let’s be very honest, we don’t have a commercially available heavy-lift vehicle. The Starship may some day come about. It’s on the drawing board right now. SLS is real. You've seen it down at Michoud. We're building the core stage. We have all the engines done, ready to be put on the test stand at Stennis... I don't see any hardware for a Starship, except that he's going to take three Raptors and put them together and that becomes the Starship. It's not that easy in rocketry.

No, the dems will cut funding to pay for welfare and undo anything that can be considered a 'trump accomplishment' and political elements within NASA will delay a Mars mission until Trumps second term ends if he wins. It's venturestar all over again.

>NASA and Boeing will cooperate on an investigation into a timer anomaly that cut short December’s uncrewed test flight of Boeing’s CST-100 Starliner spacecraft as NASA weighs whether to require another such test flight.
>The Commercial Crew Transportation Capability contract that NASA awarded to Boeing did require an uncrewed test flight that included a docking. However, NASA Administrator Jim Bridenstine suggested at a post-landing briefing Dec. 22 that NASA might not hold Boeing to that requirement.
>“There’s also a difference between what is a NASA requirement and what is a contractual requirement for this particular flight test,” Bridenstine said then. “The NASA requirement might not be the same as the contractual requirement for this particular flight test.”
>“Although docking was planned, it may not have to be accomplished prior to the crew demonstration,”
OH NO NO NO NO NO NO NO....
