However, the reality is NASA has tried to fuel this rocket before. They had rolled out the rocket in a Wet Dress rehearsal. They tried multiple times and failed each time.
Then they rolled it back in and said, in a few weeks we are gone launch. And everybody that was following this was like 'Seriously? You failed to fuel this rocket every single time you tried, and now you want to launch?'.
So when they tried again 2 times fuel the rocket and both times it failed to be fueled nobody at all was surprised. We are now at 10+ attempts and not a single time has the rocket ever been actually fully fueled.
So really this was more of a Wet Dress rehearsal then a launch attempt.
Many people now demand of NASA, do a real Wet Dress rehearsal and actually prove that you can actually fuel this thing before you actually try to launch it.
- kurupt213 4y agoYou captured my feelings much more eloquently than I would have. It would have been fine if they acknowledged some fueling problems and said they wanted to continue troubleshooting on the launch platform so they could test everything there while it was assembled. That way they could work on problems found there while disassembling the rocket to fix the hydrogen fuel leaks back in the assembly room
