"Red team" doesn't actually have Red shirts. I consider this a good idea when dealing with a 2500+ ton rocket full of Rocket fuel

#Artemis #NASA #SLS
Live coverage of the Scrubbed Launch systems has started.

blah blah blah blah

do they get paid by the word?

#Artemis #NASA #SLS 3 Red team members go in, torqueing. 3 red team members leave, Twerking|

yea Red Team!

#Artemis #NASA #SLS

Red Team gave cameras a thumbs up, proving they didn't lose them and can still do Red team stuff

#Artemis #NASA #SLS

LH2 Retanking again

T -01:07:00

#Artemis #NASA #SLS
Range officer is advising a current NO GO due to Radar being down

fuckening #2

LH2 Refilling.

So far nothing is delaying launch assuming range issue is resolved

#Artemis #NASA #SLS LH2 Core stage topping

Range had a bad Ethernet switch on radar. 70 minutes to complete work. Scotty needs to work those miracles to get done by launch window

Currently NO GO. countdown continues

assume there is going to be a hold at T-30 minutes or later

DELAY certain

#Artemis #NASA #SLS
T-0:42:00

Fastfill complete and back in core stage topping.

#ICPS upper stage is on Fast fill LH2 60%

#Artemis #NASA #SLS
Confirmed, Red Team has successfully stopped leak! AWesome work torquing those nuts

Range reporting radar ethernet switch might take longer

DELAY ALMOST CERTAIN

#Artemis #NASA #SLS

Okay. here is where it gets interesting

T-15 minutes there will be a poll for GO/NO GO

Terminal count starts at T-10 minutes
They can get as low as T-90 seconds with a reset, anything pass that and it will be a scrub.

WTF Yo-yo Ma? I love him.... but REALLY?

at T-15 minutes? JFC

#Artemis #NASA #SLS
JACK BLACK? WTH

GIB ME ROCKET!

#Artemis #NASA #SLS

planned 30 minute hold of course. at T-10 minutes. The upper stage isn't even filled yet

#Artemis #NASA #SLS
Planned hold.

01:04am EST launch window will slip. got 2 more hours of wiggle room

#Artemis #NASA #SLS

Range safety officer is Testing if they can possibly blow up the big rocket remotely.

I got a good feeling they might actually launch this monstrosity now

going to be exciting!

#Artemis #NASA #SLS Still planned hold. No estimate on terminal count
#ICPS upper stage at 95% LH2
Rest of the tanks are at topping mode
