Well, it was a nice try (again), but maybe tonight tomorrow.

“memory isn't working," NASA said in a blog post Wednesday (March 13). "it simply may have worn out after 46 years."
my memory stopped working well long before it hit 46
Oh hell.
Does this mean it’s gonna start sending back mash up photos of Jupiter and Saturn and long rambling stories about miss Titan It had a brief liaison with back in 77?
Well today was the third rocket in as many weeks. Last two were in the evening during prime viewing, and today's was in the morning (and I was working) so it was a bit hard to see. Still doesn't get old!

I love reading remote access problem solving stories like this.
But it also made me suddenly wonder, if the tinfoilhats think moon landing was fake, what in the
There's always the universal fall-back "fake news" explanification
Obviously communication was lost when it dipped below the disc. Maybe a turtle got in the way?

Anyone watch the Firefly series. I suppose it's a little off-topic, but I loved it so much. All 1 season, and the movie.

Looks like a crewed Starliner could launch next week...

Not sure I'd want to get strapped into the Starliner ship. I'm hoping for the best but Boeing seems to have lots of issues.
Yep. If you look at the photo, they left the front door open!

So far so good...
Aaaaand scrubbed. Stuck cryo valve, I believe...
Bummer, just seeing this.
Up side: you didn't miss it
True that, but if I did there's always all the video content afterwards.Up side: you didn't miss it
Live doesn't need to be live anymore, and that has screwed me more than once.
Boeing doesn't have a good track record. They are always behind schedule and over budget and lately safety is questionable. I think NASA should take that into consideration next time they have a gazillion dollar contract to award.
fwiw, ULA /= Boeing. This was a ULA problem...
Cheers!

Another delay for the Starliner.

Maybe Starliner can hitch a ride on the Starship. Might get to space quicker.
Impressive how much progress is being made at the Starbase. Can't wait to get the launch four patch added to my others.
Very exciting times!

So, the last attempt to launch Starliner was scrubbed due to a stuck valve on the ULA Atlas-V booster. But the lengthy and continuing rescheduling delay has been due to a helium leak on the Boeing Starliner service module. Earliest launch date is now "June 1 at 12:25 p.m. ET, with several backup opportunities in the days following"...

Wait, what? This thing is just a big helium balloon? Where’s the party?
Nah. The helium is for their "Talk Like An Alien In Space" testing 
Well now, that explains those delays then.Nah. The helium is for their "Talk Like An Alien In Space" testing
