One wonders with the second failed attempt at Artemis launch, what those that have gone 50 years ago and those scheduled to go to the moon are thinking?

“A more incremental approach to testing (what SpaceX typically does) would be smarter. It’s what NASA did with the Saturn V program”

Eh - no - it is not. Apollo used “all up testing”.

I hope AvWeb keeps allowing comments. There is a tendency now days for publishers to eliminate the voices of its readers. That is unfortunate IMO. Some complain about politically based comments. Yet this is often in response to articles that are themselves inherently political. For example, the article about what are effectively DEI quotas in the RAF. The AOPA once had comments, now not allowed. I lost much interest in reading their articles after that. Comments that make reasoned arguments should be welcome, even if disagreeing with the publisher or readers. Excessively rude or outlandish and bigoted should not be.
