Hi, "sls/orion willneverfly" guy here.

After reading up on the MK1, the info on the starhopper test and now these photos, I've lost hope.

The promise that MK1 will fly in 60 days is out the window. The entire rocket will be disassembled and rebuilt. I was clueless and thought up until Saturday that the mockup was near-entirely built, just needed some wiring. This thing will not fly by March 2020, let alone 2019.

Match that with its terrible performance numbers for moon flights (which is what the government and Blue Origin), I have downgraded my view.

NO ONE is getting to space.
