NASA's Artemis Mission DELAYED: Orion's Hatch and Heat Shield Problems REVEALED
Houston we have a problem! While NASA was in the middle of a full system go ahead for humanity's grandest endeavor yet - returning astronauts to the Moon - the agency was dealt a scary setback that threatens future Artemis missions.
Earlier this month, Orion's safety advisory panel revealed a nightmare scenario - issues with the side hatch design that could trap astronauts during catastrophic pad emergencies or endanger survival on return from the hazards of deep space.
Visions of our next moonwalkers fighting for precious seconds against jammed exit mechanisms or blazing infernos flash an ominous warning...NASA now scrambles to investigate and resolve what could become Mission Critical before launching Artemis 2 crew in 2025.

NASA should ditch the project entirely and focus on SpaceX only. NASA will NEVER have success with Orion, never. It is MASSIVLY outdated, 5 years ago and it will never, not in one single parameter, compete with Starship. This is the way.
Don't underestimate the "Von Braun" solution of launching a fully expendible solution to the moon. I wish he was alive today and working with Musk, but remember, it takes 10 fuel mission launches to get Starship to the moon, and that costs alot of money.
Coulda Wouda Shouda. The list is endless. Lets go for the moon already.
I remember the Apollo 1 fire; we asked, "How could this happen?" The answer wasn't an easy one, but a fix took a while.
In 1966 ""Apollo 1. An electrical fire occurred in an Apollo command module environmental control system (ECS) test rig in a vacuum chamber in 1966. he test was conducted under a lower atmospheric pressure (i.e., 5 psi to simulate cabin pressure in space versus 16.7 psi for the LC 34 test), but in a 100% oxygen environment. The test incident report was classified and inaccessible to personnel without a security clearance."" Several months later 3 men died in an easily avoidable accident.
Hang on so Apollo with 60s tech still is the best🤔🤔🤔
The fix is... Starship... lol
Yeah, the fix is a different rocket that has no abort system 🙄
@@jordansrowles - The fix is for a rocket using old technology that has flown twice and cost $20 billion and keeps running into one delay after another... Yeah... keep selling your Kool-Aid pal... The part you haven't considered is that Starship won't be the only rocket SpaceX develops... To get from here to there, it will not be a perfect development process. I do think Starship will have to have a escape option and Musk may well have to see it gets one. But, for now, Artemis is proving an expensive and fruitless boondoggle while Starship is evolving into something unique and a game-changer with the technology advances...
@@Afterburner Starship is not the be all, end all of rocketry. It’s plagued by poor/rushed design choices, being pushed forward by an egotistical, megalomaniac with serious mental issues. Im not an Artemis fan boy. But I don’t ride daddy Elon because he try’s too hard to be “cool” and “edgy”. If SpaceX doesn’t split from Elon, he’ll bring it crashing and burning with him when he falls. Maybe daddy should have sent him into his families mines, to show him some humility.
@@jordansrowles - You *could* be right... Then again... Witness the Dragon program... Smile... Your real issue with Elon is that he didn't toe the Leftist party line and he's not doing what he's told to by his Elitist bosses.
@@jordansrowlesit sounds like you have a personal vendetta against Elon Musk and SpaceX. Starship is the only rocket in the near future that may be used to colonize the Moon or Mars. Meanwhile Boeing is killing their whisteblowing employees and wasting $40 billion of taxpayers money.
They need to go to the closet and grab dusted up old Apollo designs. Apollo's heat shield worked.
Perfect is the enemy of Done. How much risk is too much risk depends on the rewards of success divided by the punishment of failure. The rewards of success for Artemis remain largely unchanged. The punishment for mission failure will only increase once the competition is deemed close enough to make the punishment for not going exceed the political risk of failing on mission.
boeing i wouldn't trust them with any doors, they can't even get aircraft doors right and want them to make spacecraft doors lol
It does make me doubt its trustiworthiness 🧑🚀
Another excuse. Never went in the first place
Starship doesnt have that problem. There is no escape hatch. If there is a problem, you are dead😂
That's why we send the robots 🤖
They got astronauts safely to the moon and back several times in the 60/70s: Why not just use that technology?
Good question, Spacer 🧑🚀 The main reason is that the goals for the missions are different. While the original ones were mostly for Lunar exploration, the most recent ones are for Lunar colonization. This implies bringing heavier and newer technology that would allow humans to colonize the Moon, something that Apollo did not allow. The old technology may be used, but it wouldn't fulfill the new goals that NASA has.
We don't have the Tech anymore. Not everything advances over time. If there's nothing in vancouver it stays stationary or goes backwards
Going to Luna for a short time rock collecting and flag-plant is far different than returning there to establish permanent facilities.
Artemis is a joke.
The Chinese will risk the lives of their Taikonauts and they will beat us back to the moon, even if they loose a few.
That's probably the reason why they might get to the moon first 🧑🚀
Wow.... such dramatic language..... over-the-top. -- "Don't recommend channel"
This is AI generated garbage, YT is full of this crap now.
Nope 🧑🚀 Not AI generated at all.
@@The-SpaceTechnician that voice is not ai?
Boeing could do it in the 1960s with slide rules. DEI hampered Boeing can't do it in 2024 despite modern computers. IQ, skill actual knowledge and competence MATTERS. Who knew ?.....
Duh, I'm too DEI challenged to even understand what you're saying. MLK never wanted what is destroying our country today to happen. Its all about destroying the USA Constitution so Marxists can repeat the failures of the 20th century.
