  19. So SLS planning only goes as far as Artemis V?

    After that, there's nothing.

    Is the program to accelerate Artemis only meant to get Trump his moon landing as quickly as possible, and just a fancy way to wrap up the SLS shutdown?
    The timeline still seems completely unrealistic to me.

    Poor NASA. Why are they doing this? So sad. Year after year goes by, and the braggarts have the upper hand.

  21. For the second time, incredibly lucky that the rocket was able to complete its mission despite a solid rocket motor failure. Absolute respect for the adaptability and responsiveness of the rocket's guidance and control technology. But these boosters... in their current form, are truly dangerously unreliable.
