I think the later is more than likely what will happen. I hope if it is going to blow that it does before they stick astronauts on board. I fear we are looking at another Apollo 1 event.

They wasted so much money on this white elephant that could have went to a bigger spacecraft, an actual lander and better suits. There are plenty of heavy lift boosters out there that could have been made ready for human use far cheaper than this NASA jobs project.

It should be safer than the shuttle. That's not saying much.

It turns out that strapping a manned spacecraft with no launch abort mode to the side of rocket is a bad idea. Strapping it to the side of a solid-fuel rocket is a really, really bad idea.

I meant to add that.

If they had given the money they'd spent on Artemis to Musk, we'd have a moon base already and be on our way to Mars.

NASA is 'go' for a second launch attempt of Artemis I today, but encountering fueling issues

At this rate, it'd be a miracle this sexist, racist mission goes up, instead of out in all directions.

On the heels of the MAGAman bad speech... what could go wrong?
