Its okay
it was hidden
now it's really hidden
Replying to Spooky Phijkchu #spooky.131 they didn't fuel the rocket
if you load fuel and then have to dump, the process to revalidate the rocket become WAY harder
same reason that the longer the rocket sits on the pad, the worse the outlook for it becomes
an engineering scrub should be 1-2 years
2nd stage rocket valve impacted during mating per TM
yeah, if that's true
this would have blown up
that's something that could be shoddily fixed in a couple weeks, but full re-validation will be 2-3 months min
they spent more time on this
than they probably did on many critical safety features

ngl if i had the chance id fuck the shit out of billie eilish
She looks like parts of her will smell very bad
No sane person cares about ass
Replying to Phijkchu_Pikachu #klombak She looks like parts of her will smell very bad
i dont care
ass is not attractive
It just needs to not be concave
why did I read "she has big ass tits" as "she has a big ass"
my apologies mini
Replying to Spooky Phijkchu #spooky.131 2nd stage rocket valve impacted during mating per TM
This has been confirmed
"chattering valve"
It was not immediately clear when Boeing and rocket-builder United Launch Alliance might be able to make another attempt, but engineers will first have to figure out what caused an oxygen relief valve in the rocket’s Centaur upper stage to “chatter” during the late stages of fueling and what might be required to fix it. If the valve has to be replaced, ULA might have to roll the rocket back to its processing facility for repairs.
So, I looked this up a bit
this is a semi-new varient of the Atlas 5 rocket
the N22 varient is designed for these crewed launches
and it *can* be mated vertically
N22 is non-reusable, but it's been launched twice so far
2019, it blew up (unmanned test)
2022, it had an in-space anomaly and couldn't do an ISS dock (unmanned test)
idk how they were OK'd to do a manned flight
when both prior flights failed
"Atlas 5" as a name has been around since the 60's or w/e
but this is a completely new platform
ULA doing a vertical mate is within spec (apparently can do either)
but doing a live test of that, now, is retarded
The Atlas 5, making its 100th flight, is an extremely reliable rocket with a perfect launch record. The rocket is equipped with a sophisticated emergency fault detection system and the Starliner, like SpaceX’s Crew Dragon, features a “full-envelope” abort system capable of quickly propelling the capsule away from its booster in the event of a major malfunction at any point from the launch pad to orbit.

fucking asshole
"100th flight"
what bullshit
3rd flight
another plane probably fell out of the sky

Replying to 🐝🌯🌯🌯💥 #march.7th Did they launch it or call it off
yep, long scrub too
no announced next launch window, they'll likely try again late this year early next year
@Mini the AI really didn't like singing you Happy birthday
"neo country" is also scuffed af
I mean, it wouldn't stand up in court, but you can bully pretty much anyone if you threaten a frivolous lawsuit over owning "Happy Birthday"
I don't think anyone has taken them to court though, no
