I was going to get a post in, but the Artemis 1 launch is not gonna happen today. Engine troubles. Maybe they’ll get them fixed by September 2nd. Or September 5th.
Further commentary seems… unkind.

So I’ll say it. Artemis is $40 billion over-budget and 6 years behind schedule. NASA is a bureaucratic behemoth that is too political and risk averse to oversee such a complex project.
No doubt.
The first stage, IIRC, is supposed to have been derived from ‘flight-proven’ STS components (SRBs, the LH2 main engines), so it’s not like they started with a clean slate…
…I’ll stop before I really start ranting. I’ll leave it at “disappointed, but not surprised”
I think you are too kind Jetty.
But that’s where I will leave it.
