A 44min delay in communications is nothing. Try having teenage children, messaging them is like talking to Voyager 1. It takes about 22hrs to get a reply back to anything sent to them plus when it does come back it's usually garbled. I'd prefer to put them into safe-mode but am concerned that the signal won't be received and acted on.

I’m surprised it has gone over 300 flights without a failure. I think it’s phenomenal considering the high energy, high dynamics and extremes of environment it (and all rockets) operates in. I would hope the FAA is basically saying, find out what went wrong, if you can, tell us any actions you might take to try to prevent a recurrence and you may continue your satellite launches when you are ready. SpaceX is not in the business of putting its satellites in useless orbits and losing them. And they are absolutely not in the business of losing a crew, so they will do the best they can to figure this out. I would “suspect” it’s a quality control issue. Some component or material not made up to par or someone assembled something not up to par, and it broke. Because the upper stages are brand new for every launch. None of them are individually flight proven, just a proven design. So, I think government agencies insisting on a brand new booster for their missions may be putting their missions more at risk than using a young, flight-proven booster. Nonetheless, the upper stage can never be flown more than once, with F9/FH.

Yes. Would you want to travel 6 months to Mars in 0g, spend a week or two on the surface at 1/3rd g, and then 6 more months at 0g back to Earth? Basically, a “much higher risk” stay on the ISS for a year. Or would you rather spend 6mos at 0g, 1 year at 1/3rd g, and 6 mos at 0g again? I don’t think anyone will be going until the mid-2030s, at the very earliest. Maybe not until 2040…if at all. Personally, I would never go. 😬😄 The astronauts tested for this mission should have spend 6 months on the ISS, then 1 year in the habitat on Earth and then an immediate launch to the ISS for another 6 months, no vacation breaks for 2 years! That would seem brutal. 😂

So...did the CHAPEA test also include oxygen creation and food growing so they were self sustaining? Doesn't look like it as other 'Biosphere' attempts have resulted in failure. If food and oxygen are available from outside the habitat...what are they learning? There's no mental stress worrying that they'll suffocate or starve should their in house systems fail...so the results are tainted at best IMHO.

@aerogfs

24 күн бұрын

No, because that's outside FAA's overlook. Only the launch part, rocket and eventual capsule abort, is regulated by the FAA, not the transfer from orbit to ISS after release. They'll have to answer NASA for these issues. Perhaps that's also the reason why they are trying to gather more data, since they'll have a lot of questions to answer... The landing will fall back within FAA's claws...

We, men, are used to 44 min delay when we talk with each other. This is something women don't understand. Sometimes we really need that 44 min delay. After all, men are from Mars.

ESA Ariana and Boeing Starliner have similar "great success", sent something to the orbit and need more time to come back.

Yes you 1st

Ariane's 2nd stage will do uncontrolled reentry, and payloads are designed to survive. Likely to reach the earth surface?

So, in the event of a catastrophic ISS failure, if it's use it or die, THEN it's ok to use Stuckliner. NOT comforting.

It had to be the 69th mission of the year. Lol

11:16 Not convinced we should agree to President Erdogan's request to all start using his country's endonym rather than our exonym(s) for it. (Essentially, he wants us to call Turkey "toor-Kia", and to write it "Türkiye".) Will he be calling Germany "Deutschland" and England "England" from now on? Especially as it's basically just a pronunciation difference at the moment. So it's as if he already did call England "England" but in a Turkish accent and I demanded he switch to using an English accent for it, even if doing so involved using intonations/sounds that don't precisely map to any used in Turkish.

If the payload was deployed and each Starlink satellite can achieve the correct orbit using thrusters then there wasn’t a Loss of Mission failure. If the 2nd stage had catastrophically exploded it would fallen into the ocean with no threat to human life or property. Typically, the FAA launch license coverers the launch up to separation of the FS and the fly back of the FS, so not sure why the FAA is in the mix. I’m sure SpaceX would have investigated without the FAA mandate.
