What’s hilarious is the poo-pooing by Democrats that this is just an isolated incident, when O’Keefe has made it very clear that there’s plenty more where these came from.
I said post mission that I saw no need for another uncrewed demonstration prior to a crewed flight, but this story is changing my mind on that. Just how many ways can Boeing screw up?
There’s no instantaneous launch window, and while launch weather looks good, recovery weather looks maybe iffy for the beginning of the window. I think the odds of it actually launching at the beginning of the window are sufficiently low that I’m not going to drag myself out of bed at 0430 on a Saturday morning to view it.
