Glad it wasn't just me. That seemed like a ton of venting.

I can't believe this actually happened. Huh.

This article is worth the read. Starliner was in an extremely precarious situation that we didn't previously know about.

Petition to make all launch failures this pretty.

It's so disappointing. Now the next person to write valid, honest critiques will have to overcome this author's selfishness to get attention.

Berger suggests that "another launch before this summer seems unlikely".

I think that's speculation rather than reporting, but it's nice to have a non-CEO reference point. Hopefully employees get a breather during this redesign, somehow.

Technology is so fun... Thanks for putting this in perspective!

Am I correct that this would allow someone to remotely attack everything on my network, even non-ESP devices? So, my ESP lightbulb is putting my PC and phone at risk?

I'm struggling to think of a reason that Starship shouldn't be grounded for 6-12 months after this (I know they won't be, but I'll be mad about it). This is a consecutive uncontrolled failure during the "easy" part of the flight over a highly populated region. It seems like pure luck that the RUD didn't happen early enough to impact land. They're still doing a great job, but today was rough.

Maybe it's time to rethink the Texas plans?

Edit: Upon reflection I'm less pessimistic now, as long as the FTS behaved reasonably. But I'll still be mad if they're flying again in a month.

Tout est nominal jusqu'à présent! Interesting how wobbly the fairings looked during separation.

Fingers crossed the engine relight is more successful than last time.

I nominate Ariane 6 for the Cutest SRB Award.

Apparently there was an issue with ground equipment.

Due to further operations needed on a ground means interfacing with the launcher, the launch is postponed. The new launch date will be announced following the completion of these operations.
