Good to see the real rocket on the pad, and not animations of it for the past 10 years. Liftoff will look very similar to a Space Shuttle launch since SLS uses nearly identical solid rocket boosters and carries four RS-25 liquid-fueled rockets in the first stage which are the same type as the Space Shuttle Main Engines (SSME). Should be cool to watch.

Another Apefirmative Action hire who knows all about space stuff
They do seem to be having a few problems.

I hope Artemis launches tomorrow when the window opens at 2:17 p.m. EDT, so I don't have to get up in the predawn hours to watch it on TV like during last Monday's failed attempt.

The launch was scrubbed again, for the same reason as before. They may not launch until October or later.
All these problems are probably due to the diverse workforce that NASA is forced to use. If these problems keep up, SpaceX could send the Lunar Starship to the moon by itself, with a crew, without any participation from NASA, and Elon Musk could pick his own crew. The Artemis spacecraft itself is actually superfluous. NASA needs SpaceX to land a crew on the moon, but SpaceX doesn't need NASA. The only limitation is that the Lunar Starship lacks a heat shield, so the crew would have to transfer to a Crew Dragon to return to earth.

From the descriptions being reported: major fueling leaks, itz apparent that the defect is in design rather than some physical anomaly. A simple physical mishap would have been easily corrected since the previous mission scrub; but it was not. Too much cheating on the engineering exams, bros, and too little real engineering ability, bros. I wonder why that is, bros?

They are going to try to fix it on the pad now.

jewing Artemis 1
Another Apollo 1 style burnt offering to the Sky Gods in the offing? The RS-25 engines being used in the first stage of Artemis were first developed by Rocketdyne back in the 1970's for the Space Shuttle. Undetected fuel leaks could cause a disastrous ignition either on the pad at launch or in the first few minutes of flight.
But Russia is 'mocked' for cutting the US off from its "outdated" rocket engines ... Quote:
These jews crack me up, look at the amount of political agit-prop there is even in a simple article that's supposed to be about a 'scientific subject' PS FYI SpaceX's Merlin engine was designed by BN, a US company which has been in the space business since the 1960's. Itz not really a 'radical new design' as claimed, just the reworking of old tried-n-true basics with 2022 technologies. One RD-180, designed in the 1970s for the USSR's Buran space shuttle has five times the thrust as one Merlin engine does at sea level. The cutcock that wrote the above quoted article didn't mention that ... Last edited by T.Garrett; September 8th, 2022 at 02:19 AM. Reason: added PS ... |

rocket go boom?
I heard the leak was somewhere in the "core booster" or first stage?
Yeah an updated RL10B2 is going to be used in the ICPS of Artemis to launch the spacecraft from low earth orbit to the moon and back. The Chinese likely anticipate the need for a more powerful engine that can be reliably started and shut down numerous times during the mission to get all the equipment and materials into lunar orbit that they are gonna need for construction of the Joint Russian/Chinese moonbase. Nasa's mission with Artemis is simply to "put the first black woman on the moon", nothing further is seriously planned and at this point it cant even get off the ground. BTW the RL10 was the first liquid hydrogen rocket engine to be built in the US (for ICBMs) and was designed in the 1950's. Old tech that still works. |

feelin the bad mojo Nasa iz
Quote:
They fucked up on that one, it was too cold for launch. And many of the engineering staff at Thiokol ... the company that built the SRB's for Nasa ...KNEW that the rubber seals wouldn't work in the cold temps in Florida that frigid January day and said little for fear of losing their jobs. Nasa flight ops were aware of the risk of using Thiokols solid rocket boosters in temps below freezing. There was ice all over the launch tower for shit sakes. If they had waited just one more day for warmer weather the disaster never would have happened. But Nasa went ahead with the launch that fateful day anyway. There were too many delays already and this was a heavily politicized mission showcasing the 'inclusiveness' of the new Nasa in 1986! STS-51L had representatives of every race on earth aboard including a the first sheenie in space, Judith Resnick and the first white civilian female teacher, Christa McAuliffe who young kids across Amerika were cheering on. Instead of seeing her on teevee holding class in space they watched her plunge into the Atlantic in a spinning ball of fire. Funny how a later shuttle mission that had another jew in the crew fell apart during reentry, 2003's STS-107. Wherever you find jews there's bad mojo. And the Challenger orbiter really didn't explode, it was engulfed with a cloud of hot gases from the disintegrating right (starboard) side SRB and the crew didn't die immediately ... they all suffered horrible deaths for sure, suffocated or smashed apart in the cabin of the spacecraft which eventually lost inertia and stopped climbing toward the upper atmosphere and plunged into the ocean at 200 mph from 65,000 feet. Nasa reckoned that three of them might have still been alive when the remains of Challenger hit the water but no survivors were found. They are AFRAID that Artemis will fail, once bitten twice shy or some shit. Last edited by T.Garrett; September 9th, 2022 at 01:35 PM. |

Challenger was destroyed 73 seconds after launch at fairly high altitude. Imagine if the SLS rocket explodes immediately after ignition, taking out Pad 39B with it. Imagine what that would do to NASA's image. No astronauts would die since this is an unmanned flight, but a catastrophic failure such as this would cancel the Artemis program in one fell swoop. Something similar happened on July 3, 1969 three weeks before Apollo 11 landed on the Moon when the second unmanned test launch of the Soviet N-1 Moon rocket exploded several seconds after launch, destroying the rocket and severely damaging the launch pad. It took nearly 2 years for another launch attempt, which was also a failure. In fact, all four N-1 rockets tested from 1969 to 1972 blew up before the USSR's manned lunar program was canceled. The failures were all similar to Artemis's scrubs - insufficient testing of the first stage rockets and fueling system. In N-1's case it was the difficulty of trying to get 33 rocket engines on the first stage to fire and function properly, of which insufficient testing was done, such as live fire testing. SpaceX's new booster, called Super Heavy has 30 Raptor engines, and SpaceX is being very cautious test-firing them, so far only a few a time. But they will all have to work flawlessly whenever their first orbital test with Starship will launch.

From what I've read, the Artemis program is totally unnecessary to get men--oops, I mean the first woman and the first person of color--to the moon. The SpaceX Lunar Starship is capable of doing that all by itself. The way it's currently planned, Artemis will launch with the crew, Starship will launch empty, they will dock in lunar orbit, and Starship will take the crew down to the surface. Starship is fully capable of launching with a crew, so the entire Artemis program is unnecessary for accomplishing its own goals.
When Artemis was conceived in 2017 as a revival of the Constellation program that Obama had cancelled, it was to be similar to Apollo, with a rocket, an orbiter, and a lander. And, just as with Apollo, the rocket and orbiter were developed first, while the lander was the last element to be developed. When NASA put out contracts for the lander, they were anticipating designs similar to the Apollo Lunar Module, but SpaceX came up with something that could more or less do the whole mission all by itself, without the rest of the stack. (The SpaceX Lunar Starship lacks a heatshield, so the crew would have to transfer to a crew dragon in earth orbit in order to return to earth.) Furthermore, the SpaceX Lunar Starship costs much less than Artemis, but it would be embarrassing to cancel Artemis at this point, so they're having Starship launch empty so that the much more expensive and less efficient Artemis won't appear to be the colossal waste of money that it is. If the Artemis should blow up on the launch pad, it would be a disaster, but it wouldn't be a big deal as far as getting a crew to the moon is concerned. SpaceX has more or less taken over the U.S. manned--excuse me, crewed--space program, anyway. NASA hasn't launched a crew into space since 2011; all U.S. crewed launces since then have been on SpaceX Crew Dragon (and I'm not holding my breath for the Boeing Starliner). So SpaceX might as well take over the lunar program as well, and leave NASA to do what it does best, send robotic probes to the far reaches of the solar system and beyond.
