Saturn 5 had a flawless record. The leftover space shuttle parts which SLS is cobbled together from, not so much. SRBs are inherently dangerous, theyre designed to quickly launch nukes from silos, not people. And Orion is just a typical modern Boeing project. So far its fallen at every hurdle right?
- evan_a_a 6mo agoOrion is a Lockheed (CM) and Airbus (ESM) project.
- everyone 6mo agoYeah, I thought it was Starliner on top. I dont know anything about Orion then. SLS is very crappy and disappointing, its using shitty old space shuttle tech, + its ridiculously expensive in terms of payload to orbit, but it will probably work. I didnt know, cus I just dont give a shit about this stupid project.
- wat10000 6mo agoSaturn 5 came close to catastrophic failure at least once. It had partial failures. Its sort of perfect record is mostly down to luck and not launching very many times. Of course, six decades later, we should be able to do a lot better.
