    The next launch window is Friday, Sept. 2. hopefully it will give the SLS team enough time to work the engine issue and resolve it while it's on the pad. The other launch window is Sept 5.

    If it has to be rolled back into the hangar, it could be a month or more before they can try again.


    If rocket science was easy, everyone would do it, eh?


    should have had the russians provide everything.

    Since we've been on a moon rocket kick the last couple weeks, I figured I'd give an update on this morning's Artemis I launch (or, lack-there-of).

    Status: Scrubbed

    The next launch window is Friday, Sept. 2. hopefully it will give the SLS te enough time to work the engine issue and resolve it while it's on the pad. T other launch window is Sept 5.
    If it has to be rolled back into the hangar, it could be a month or more bef they can try again.

    I'd rather see a mission "scrubbed" then seeing the damn thing blow up! That's a lot of money wasted that could have been used elsewhere.
    That's just my opnion... I could be wrong. ;-)

    Yep, launch was rescheduled for today, but about 15 minutes ago they scrubbed it again due to a hydrogen leak in a quick-disconnect hose.


    yep just heard it on the radio a minute ago. i guess it keeps leaking from the same area.

    The SLS is a massive waste of money, a product of pork barrel politics.

    If it launches, then $2B just went into the ocean.

    If it explodes, then $2B went into the ocean, but it provided some entertainment.

    My money's on Starship getting off the pad before SLS. At least SpaceX has an incentive to launch something, because they're funding the development themselves, and won't profit until it launches. SLS is a cost-plus contract, so the longer it takes, the more money Boeing makes.
