Weather is great right now. At least it is about 30 miles west of the pad.

Artemis 2. Since it's manned and the weather is marginal, I'd guess a high chance they don't launch tonight. My track record on these guesses isn't great

My face when I realise my shop has two CMM and no master artifact to correlate measurement and standardize measuring processes.

Marts measure differently from one machine to the next by almost .0015''

That is a lot considering the machines should be able to measure features accurately to as small as .0001''

That backlash is a bitch. Especially when you don't program the machine paths to account for it. A thou-and-a-half is quite a bit in today's world.

NASA launch today. Should be cool

I spent 6 years on the Orion program. I'll be watching for sure!

I was just fixing a testing chamber at Aerodyne Rocketjet yesterday. I believe there rockets are on this thing..from my understanding.

Aerojet Rocketdyne...

Yes, they made the 4 main engines on the core stage.

I think its hilarious that they scheduled a space mission to begin on April fools day.

I just stopped getting Sumo wrestling suggestions on YouTube. Might as well jump back in the algorithm.

Simple orbital mechanics. They have until the 6th to launch should today get scrubbed for any reason (it's currently looking gtg).

ETA - Live view of the rocket on the pad:
