It doesn't matter how good your engineers are if your company is run by overpaid accountants. The leadership has been focused on maximizing shareholder value quarter by quarter, which means there is no long-term planning at all. Internally they scramble to move the right numbers around at the end of every quarter without caring that it'll negatively effect even the next one. It's a $100bil ship being steered by people who literally are not thinking beyond August right now. They will sell a vital part of their business to make a quarter look better, like cutting off your own finger because you got hungry. This strategy works with some businesses well enough, but you can't trick an excel spreadsheet into making an airplane stay in the sky.
Starliner is a good example of their business practices. If SpaceX didn't exist NASA would've been forced to keep funneling them money, paying them more for delaying. Obviously this did not go as planned for them, and the money they made already is all they're getting. Now Starliner will never fly, because putting adequate resources towards it would hurt their quarter.

China needs to take things up a notch from here if they intend to launch 100 times this year.

Afterwards, the lander will carry out status checks and setups such as solar wing and directional antenna deployment under ground control via the Magpie Bridge 2 relay star, and formally start the back-of-the-moon sampling work that will last for about two days. #Chang'e 6 landing on the back of the moon# (Reporter: Song Chen Wen Jinghua)

If you started Shuttle-C in the late 80s this wouldn't have been true though and small module stations are another false economy anyway. I don't think many would have been built but when people got sick of tooling around in LEO and wanted to do manned deep space again then you'd at least have Shuttle-C to work with instead of starting from scratch which has been very costly

Flybys of Mercury are pretty easy. A C3 of 45km2/s2 will get you to Mercury on a direct trajectory. Falcon 9 can't get much useful payload to that C3 like that, but an H3-24 or Vulcan VC4 could loft a useful sized probe. The problem is that those easy direct trajectories have a flyby speed of something like 20km/s, so going into orbit around Mercury needs either a probe with a colossal propulsion system or some very elaborate flying.

>Technicians from United Launch Alliance, builder of the Atlas V rocket, will begin troubleshooting the computer glitch at the launch pad Saturday evening, after draining propellant from the launch vehicle. Early indications suggest that a card in one of three computers governing the final minutes of the Atlas V's countdown didn't boot up as quickly as anticipated.
>“You can imagine a large rack that is a big computer where the functions of the computer as a controller are broken up separately into individual cards or printed wire circuit boards with their logic devices," said Tory Bruno, ULA's president and CEO. "They’re all standalone, but together it’s an integrated controller."
>The computers are located at the launch pad inside a shelter near the base of the Atlas V rocket at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station. All three computers must be fully functioning in the final phase of the countdown to ensure triple redundancy. At the moment of liftoff, these computers control things like retracting umbilical lines and releasing bolts holding the rocket to its mobile launch platform.
>Two of the computers activated as the final countdown sequence began at T-minus 4 minutes. A single card in the third computer took about six more seconds to come online, although it did boot up eventually, Bruno said.
>"Two came up normally and the third one came up, but it was slow to come up, and that tripped a red line," he said

one of the three redundant computers controlling things like umbilical retraction booted up too slowly (took over 6s) which triggered the halt
the talk of cards makes it sound like these are some ancient as fuck computers?

Put another way, Boeing has arrived at this moment nine years after the company originally said the spacecraft could be operational, when the program was first announced in 2010.

I haven't done all the maths for this to check feasibility, but apparently nasa briefly indicated interest in a grant app sent to them about the use of vaccuum airships on mars. lower pressure means a carbon fibre sphere (potentially with internal spars) would be able to hold a good vaccuum.

I think that strictly speaking it would depend on the extent of any damage. Damage need not be so major that it can't be fixed at sea or at least superficially covered up before going into port. For example, scorch marks could be washed or painted over. Small holes could be patched. Destroyed aircraft could be dumped overboard or brought below deck. Warships are designed to be quickly repaired while at sea, and carriers are meant to be able to repair modest damage to the flight deck while at sea, no?

And I think it is as you say, the US has the highest resolution optical satellites, and damage might be so minor that it requires the highest resolution to see anyway.

Thank you, Musk, for completing the work of the colonizers. Many pre-Columbian civilizations were destroyed not because Europeans were superior, but because they brought with them diseases from the old world that devastated the native populations. This led to the deaths of elders and the orphaning of children, ultimately facilitating the conquest of their lands and the enslavement of their people. Now, you are introducing a new kind of disease that will destroy their minds and spirits in less than one generation: addiction to the internet.

should be any day now I guess if its supposed to be before the launch
kind of doubt they will release it before the launch though, they would have to give it to SpaceX to see there is no ITAR violations and then Everyday would have to edit it
so probably a few weeks after launch, would be end of June
