Unreal. Absolutely unreal.
2 and a half years of flight testing and 10+ years of development and still failing in ways quite literally no one else is.

You learn more from failure than success is a phrase that has been thrown around a lot the past few years in the world of spaceflight.
Incredible to look back on this sentiment today and see which programs are succeeding and which ones are failing.

Just over an hour until the scheduled launch for ESCAPADE. New Glenn is fueled and so far it’s a greenboard here at Cape Canaveral.
Liftoff is scheduled for 2:57 PM EST

A bit surprised to see both ESCAPADE and ViaSat-3 targeting tomorrow for liftoff. This is going to be quite the effort from the commodities side of CCSFS to pull this one off.

Fantastic video today from Phillip Sloss. His reporting on the Artemis program has been top notch, especially for some of the nitty gritty details that often get lost in the headlines.
