Yeah, I’m probably gonna blank out on artemis II until the literal second it launches now.
These small delays aren’t the end of the world but they are a bummer when you spend all week thinking about the launch.
In all seriousness, I hope this thing ends with a better safety record than Apollo, that was lucky not to end with a 50% death rate.
With the way SLS has been designed and the lingering issues around it, I think you’d be a brave person to fly in it. And Apollo is the only point of comparison, LEO is childs play in comparison and even there we have recently seen dangerous malfunctions recovered only by last ditch measures.
The fact they’re already looking at next month says a lot about how this WDR went.
I’m thinking that a lot of you are too young to remember the Shuttle launches. It was the same routine because NASA has learned to be strictly “safety first” the hard way.
