  1. The title is missleading; as of right now they haven’t made the decision to roll back yet. There is a potential for a fix at the pad and they are taking steps to enable that.

    Edit: they have now decided to rollback. I choose to judge Reuters still as I don’t like the bad vibes they prognosticated into reality.

  2. Updated title: NASA may take moon mission Artemis II rocket back to assembly site, affecting March launch window

  3. Apollo 1, Challenger and Columbia along with the Starliner Crew 1’s narrow escape, give caution and credibility for this. Yes those Astronauts knew there were risks, however not those particular risks. None of them needed to die. Schedule for Apollo 1, public relations for the rest and frankly criminal negligence.

    Apollo1, insufficient testing of infrastructure in a pure oxygen environment.

    Challenger, rush to launch in freezing weather.

    Columbia, willful ignorance of management.

    Starliner, lack of management oversight into persistent thruster failures.

  4. Space flight will always be dangerous but I’d rather they roll her back and fix something than see another tragedy.
