SunlitZelkova Posted July 8, 2022 Share Posted July 8, 2022 I would assume the answer is yes, but does SLS still have the same "going or exploding" danger at liftoff with its SRBs as the Shuttle did? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, once the SRBs light up there is nothing you can do to stop them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, once the SRBs light up there is nothing you can do to stop them However, SLS does have a solid-fueled launch abort system which can pull the crew to safety if the launch fails. The Shuttle did not have this, and so any abort prior to SRB separation was LOCV. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so, it was an oversight. But remember the whole point of the SLS is to be expensive and provide as much pork as possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SunlitZelkova Posted August 2, 2022 Share Posted August 2, 2022 My reactions to this- 1. With Snoopy, four Lego minifigures, and now Shaun the Sheep, I love how this flight is basically crewed by toys and mannequins 2. I would love to see the reaction on the NASA accounting people's faces when they read the manifest for Artemis I and have to go over multiple... toys 3. The kid part of me loves this, but the adult part finds this to be an interesting point of ridicule- it could be said that we are utilizing a $4 billion rocket just to launch toys around the Moon, and then use it two to three times again to irradiate some astronauts multiple times and increase their risk of cancer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikegarrison Posted August 2, 2022 Share Posted August 2, 2022 It was nice to see Jeb in the Starliner cabin, but really this whole "stuffed toys in space" ("zero-g indicator") thing is kind of ridiculous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Salyut 7 is historically accurate, it was actually a Soviet tradition originally, dating at least back to the 80s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
