halcyoncmdr,

SpaceX will be colonizing Mars before Artemis launches at the rate of all these delays.

Assuming they can keep Spaceship from exploding.

Not that these sorts of things should be rushed but there are only four surviving Apollo astronauts that walked on the surface, and it would be really special if they could all witness it again.

pineapplelover,

The last time we rushed things the Challenger exploded

That’s why we need visionaries such as yourself to cut the red tape and redundancies in Big Idea builds like a spaceship to bring humans to the moon. Or vessels for manned deep sea exploration.

FiskFisk33,

At least the Artemis astronauts won’t be going to their death

Chriswild,

It’s not like SpaceX is making anything on time. They were supposed to be to Mars years ago and they can’t even get the starship to not explode.

ghostblackout,

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

To quote Destin from SmarterEveryDay: “We’re going right?”

kerrigan778,

SpaceX being behind schedule is one of the major reasons for this delay…

dejected_warp_core,

Ha! First thing I thought of when seeing the headline: “Glad Destin got everyone’s attention.”

freeman,

Nobody is sending people to Mars never mind colonizing it. Hopefully SpaceX/Starlink will fail before the make Earth’s orbit into a junkyard.

halcyoncmdr,

No it isn’t. This delay is directly related to Artemis II, which uses an Orion capsule on SLS.

SpaceX is providing a Super Heavy for HLS as part of Artemis III.

kerrigan778,

Whoops, you’re right, I guess they’re both delayed.

Texas_Hangover,

That was damn near 40 years ago. You’d think they’d have figured some shit out by now.
