NASA's Artemis rocket launch delayed until Friday at the earliest

[Boss 302]

I watched a news report on this rocket yesterday. They are launching mannequins seated in the capsule. It was noted this project is billions of dollars over budget. They discovered during fueling that it was leaking. The mission is to fly it 40k miles past the moon, return to the moon and orbit it 12 days before returning to Earth. Quite frankly, I think this is a huge waste of money, especially since the economy sucks and inflation is most likely to continue increasing.

The launch will put 2k - 3k tons of carbon dioxide into the air, yet the greenies are more concerned about natural gas putting carbon dioxide into the air.

The libs are pouring billions into this boondoggle while doing their best to slow Musk down.

I think the government is wasting a lot of our money on NASA. NASA should be abolished.

In it's current capacity, I agree.

But it could be useful if they would return to their roots.

Let the private sector do it.

Let the private sector do it.

For commercial ventures, I agree.


But I'm not sure the private sector would fund the exploration side of it.

I read that the last astronaut to fly that particular spaceship, who happened to be a lady astronaut, returned it to NASA with an empty fuel tank.

She also took it to Jiffy Lube and they convinced her to change all of the fuel filters and she even agreed to an unnecessary transmission flush.

They have spent billions to design a rocket that they can only build 4 of them. The engines were removed from the space shuttles to “ save costs”!!

The government shouldn't be funding it. It's a waste of money.
