I would be all over that, moving and especially assembly in the VAB soot. I was born way too early

Having watched the Apollo moon landings I wanted to be a part of that so when it came time, 10th grade - 1973, I talked with the high school counselors. They put me in a science curriculum to start my climb up the ladder. Their idea of setting me on the right path was to put me in with 11th and 12th graders in a physics class. I failed miserably and had to drop out of that curriculum putting a stop to my dreams of becoming an astronaut for the time being. Later on down the road I came to realise they didn't know what they were doing. Today I would sweep the floors for free and maybe work my way into turning wrenches. Well that's not gonna happen so I sit on the sidelines and watch


It's never too late!

But, your bottom line there says "It's never too late!" Have you inquired if they need a floor sweeper?

Blue Origin's has a contract with NASA to deliver one of the lunar landers. Launching on their New Glenn rocket the lander was to be tested docking with the Orion spacecraft during the Artemis III mission next year. The other contract is with SpaceX. New Glenn was to carry 48 internet satellites for Amazon's Low Earth Orbit (LEO) broadband constellation. During pre launch testing Thursday on Launch Complex 36 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station the rocket exploded. This is the second disaster for Blue Origin. The first incident was on April 19th when the New Glenn rocket suffered a problem during its second burn trying to reach a low earth orbit. It did not ignite. It stranded the payload, the BlueBird 7 satellite for AST SpaceMobile, in an orbit too low for the spacecraft to recover from. AST had to deorbit the satellite. It burned up in the atmosphere. Millions of dollars was lost. The FAA grounded Blue Origin until they could show what happened, why and a fix. They were allowed to fly again having done so and now this

Personally I would not trust a lunar lander by Blue Origin. There is no way I would trust the lives of NASA astronauts with any of their spacecraft with this track record. SpaceX using the Starship to launch its lunar lander is still in its very early phases of testing. I do not see it ready to launch a lunar lander for testing any time soon

Blue Origin allowed to launch again

I thought about you when I saw this. Personally, I wouldn't trust either of those clowns!

I'm with oldbroad! I would trust anything run by those clowns.
