Should have made it all electric. May not be able to charge the batteries due to hurricanes, brown outs or, extension cord being too short, but fuel leaks should never cause a problem.

Aging is an extraordinary process where you become the person you always should have been.--David Bowie.
One of the engineers, working on flight communications and tracking Alora Mazarakus, (radio frequency engineer) is from Shelbyville Ky. Here’s where it goes downhill, she graduated from UL and got her electrical engineering degree from UL’s Speed School.
When I saw the bio on the news I pictured a really long string with a tin can on each end stretching from NASA to the moon.
…but, I digress, I’m sure she worked very hard to achieve her goals and the Commonwealth should be very proud to have one of their own working hard on the advancements in space travel/colonization.

Is part of their plan to send UL grads to the moon, and presumably leave them there? That would be worth some tax dollars...
People keep asking if I'm back and I haven't really had an answer. But now, yeah, I'm thinkin' I'm back.
If it is the plan to send grads from UL, I was unaware NASA was interested in starting a penal colony… Hmmm win/win.

ET has patiently been waiting in the NASA VIP Suite awaiting launch.

Maybe it's the real aliens messing with us. You know they are laughing their butts off at our feeble technology while they sit masked from our instruments watching us fumble about.
Our only hope is that they are like ET and not like Independence Day. Put another way I hope we're in Federation space and not the Klingon or Breen Empires. I'm not optimistic.

Seems like the For Profit companies having zero issues launching...maybe just contract it out. NASA is government...meaning inefficient.
received a text today from NASA, says the launch is scheduled now for Friday, September 23, 2022 at approximately 6:47 AM, weather permitting.
And other stuff too. Like fueling seals working as they're supposed to...........

Thanks for the update. Not that I am going to attend the launch as I gave up trying to see one live when I made the trip from BG to the Cape to see the final shuttle launch.
They could not get that candle lit on time either.

I saw the last night launch of the shuttle before the Challenger accident from about 3 miles away. One of my brothers was chief sonar officer on the Francis Scott Key and took me on a tour of the sub then we saw the launch that night. Really cool. I don’t know how those guys go out for months at a time on those subs though. I was claustrophobic after 5 minutes.
changing my signature to change our luck.
I watched one of the SpaceX Starlink launches last night during the game. The Boss and I watched from the end of our driveway. The rocket launches at night are spectacular. Last night was especially so as we could see the rocket going through the cloud cover.

NASA says they will strike the match on 9-27. Time for lift off, with a 70 minute window starts at 11:37 EDT. They published that October 2nd at 3:52 p:m EDT as a back launch date.

Fuel pressurization tests today did not go well. Engineers detected that the seals they had replaced were leaking like the ones they had replaced.

Get some flex-seal and get this thing going...

And now the launch date has been moved yet again, this time because of the impending hurricane in the Gulf of Mexico.
MOLON LABE!
Ahead of Ian's landfall in Southwest Florida, NASA's Artemis-1 rocket, the Space Launch System, was forced to roll back into the hangar at Kennedy Space Center. Even with landfall on the Gulf Coast, Central Florida's Space Coast saw major flooding, hurricane-force winds and rain.
The launch delay by Hurricane Ian means NASA is now targeting November to launch the moon rocket for the first time. In the meantime, ULA, SpaceX and NASA have plans for unrelated back-to-back launches this week that will keep the Space Coast busy for three days.

NASA is going to try and light a Falcon 9 SpaceX rocket at 7:05 pm tonight to carry 2 satellites into orbit.
