Trust me, I put it in but it kept getting dropped somehow - I probably found a parser bug. I've found some doozys in my day!<br /><br />Yeah, Bill Nelson needs to retire, along with SLS. Both are Old Guard and now useless.

If you use uppercase B or lowercase, some parsers insist you use the same case on both start and stop. <br /><br />Getting back to SLS. I think one of the root causes is that the guy who started the program and pushed it through years of iterations of both late and over budget was our senator, Bill Nelson. Who is now the NASA administrator. It's his baby all along. <br /><br />A recurring idea I hear around is that the amazing thing about NASA is they still get cool things done. Usually by people who keep quiet about it. <br /><br />SiGraybeardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00280583031339062059noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1592992209402300549.post-90106691657808898262022-11-04T13:39:30.135-04:002022-11-04T13:39:30.135-04:00It's The Space Launch System That Will Not DIE...It's The Space Launch System That Will Not DIE... And Congress (the opposite of progress) will still continue to shovel billions at it (just like the war in Ukraine, huh?) until all the Old Guard Pork Shovelers die off and newer blood takes over Congress.<br />The Moon will still be there, folks, even if it takes a little while. Guys like Musk can now make hardware to get us back to the Moon at a cheaper rate, as well.<br />Maybe we need a shakeup at NASA........... nah, they know what they are doing, right? Right??<br /><br />(Sorry for the multiple deletes, having problems with the HTML code.)Igorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02332079520095379932noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1592992209402300549.post-43068080377344157852022-11-04T13:37:43.339-04:002022-11-04T13:37:43.339-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.Igorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02332079520095379932noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1592992209402300549.post-91681118500612815812022-11-04T13:36:18.470-04:002022-11-04T13:36:18.470-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.Igorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02332079520095379932noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1592992209402300549.post-49967668956291305572022-11-04T09:17:26.584-04:002022-11-04T09:17:26.584-04:00Well, it would be an entirely fitting end to this ...Well, it would be an entirely fitting end to this benighted project if they had to throw the SLS away because it grew mold and rotted.<br /><br />By the way, I wouldn't disparage the "drama".
