They keep testing and retesting at Boca in Texas, and oh, there’s another explosion at the McGregor site testing Raptors. They are nowhere near the launch cadence they have targeted, which will likely push Artemis 3 further back. Haven’t heard much about Bezos and Blue Origin.

Thanks for all your work in the space program. At least Trump hasn’t fired ALL the scientists at NASA. Yet.
