@SciGuySpace As soon as NASA started to float the idea of a Rescue Dragon (Ill take credit for the name), it was a done deal. Any risk greater than the risk of bringing them home on a Dragon would not be tolerated.
@SciGuySpace@snuffeldjuret Not saying it is Bill’s fault but there have been significant issues with nasa’s programs in the last 4 years, delays in Artemis, whatever is going on with Viper, and the dumpster fire that is Starliner.. I think we need a new face at the top.
@deltaIV9250@nickhenning3d Kind of shows the problem with starship's design. Why do you need to land the same vehicle on the Moon as you will on Earth?
@SciGuySpace@AschbacherJosef As much as I would like to pile on, the current ESA is in a pinch because of bad decisions of previous leaders. They are stuck with A6 for 10-15 yrs, instead of turning the Titanic, they are running it straight into the iceberg and will try again once it sinks.
