[Stingray~]

Let's all pray this monster lights up and accomplishes this mission!

First opportunity is 0830 Monday EST, they have another window later this week.

Monster!!!

That picture makes it look like you could go home for the weekend. The asteroid belt is out in the middle edge of nowhere.

Yeah but i'll give PBS Spacetime a pass for creating a romanticised image due to them being a 100% physics fact channel.

I share your hope and enthusiasm.

Not talking about classes.

Monday launch scrubbed due to a fuel problem on one of the main engines. Next window is Friday.

Thanks for the update. They've been having problems with valves, wonder if this is likewise.

All from one engine? I think the valves on my little VW pathfinder probably looked like that after the crank or whatever it was shit the bed...

The launch of NASA's giant moon rocket is delayed after an issue with its engine

The space agency's long-awaited Artemis I mission will have to wait until at least Friday, after a problem with one of the SLS rocket's engines was discovered.

How many times do I have to tell NASA to quit sourcing those cheap Chinese O-rings from Ali-Baba?

Inner vent valve in engine 3's hydrogen tank.

Considering the tens of thousands of components in these giant machines, it's a bloody miracle that they ever leave the ground at all.

Guy from NASA on NPR radio said there are millions of parts!!

This is why it's important to run a level 3 diagnostic the day of the launch. I also recommend recalibrating the phase inhibitor. As for that valve the pro thing to do is install the Manchester gasket upside down. You won't see that in the manual but it actually creates better flow

It's tough to find a store open that has difrugal crimp rods on a Sunday.

...need to set valves 1,2, and 4 to .008mm, number three to .012mm.

I think Defender sells them.
