I understand why a lot of people have mixed feelings over this, but I think its important to note how much of a middle finger this program is to the Trump administration as much as they're trying to claim it. They spent much of last year actively trying to cancel it and yet here we still are.

Two and a bit years later for the rocket that is "arguably as successful as NASA's SLS rocket" and its still flying the same suborbital test trajectory as its first ELEVEN test flights.

Meanwhile we're just two days away from Artemis II rolling to the pad for a crewed lunar mission.

This is all still a work in progress as far as how the website itself is put together, expect it to be updated pretty regularly and substantially over the next month or two, but I feel confident in both my writing and photography for it to be worth your read and I hope you'll all give me a shot!

Im not entirely sure at this point, but the current targeted date of the 17th is cutting it fairly close.

I would be surprised if we launch in February but it is not impossible

Ariane 6 is definitely finding itself in a great place from both a performance and commercial prospects angle. Took its time to get there but the past year has been a strong start to its career.

Honestly the bigger worry was any kind of vehicle explosion would produce a very similarly sized smoke cloud and we have 3 currently stacked out here.
