Cowboy, perhaps.       >       > Dragon2 had some delays, but nothing       > very dramatic, and they even had time to do cosmetic stuff like       > futuristic interior and fashionable launch/entry suits.              "On 20 April 2019, the Crew Dragon capsule used in the Demo-1 mission       was destroyed in an explosion during static fire testing at the Landing       Zone 1 facility.[70][71] "              (Wikipedia, of course, which notes that this delayed the in-flight       abort test and first crewed launch.)              These may also have been a valve issue, although as Chris Gebhardt at       NSF says, "I'd rather have Starliner's valve problem".              /dps              --       But happiness cannot be pursued; it must ensue. One must have a reason       to 'be happy.'"        Viktor Frankl              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
