Holy crap!!!

This could have been really bad! NASA classified this as a Type A mishap. The same classification that was applied to both Challenger and Columbia.

How much did you bet on this?

Wish I would have put some money on that but the odds were heavily in my favor. NASA needs a huge purge, it’s still infested with bureaucrats instead of scientists and engineers. And many of the scientist and engineers they do have are really bureaucrats marking time until they can retire and move to the big money.

Which is why I really like Jared Isaacman leading NASA.

NASA definitely has its issues but with SLS, the largest blame lies at the feet of Congress. They mandated that NASA use shuttle derived components, regardless of what made the most sense. A bunch of clueless politicians who couldn’t pass a basic engineering class if their life depended on it decided they could tell NASA engineers how to build a rocket.
