If I were one of these people slated to take the flight I would nope the fuck out. This is what they found, how many more issues are they going to "find"(because they kept quiet about it like they always do) once this thing takes off?
I can’t believe they’re going through with it. The last (only orbital) test flight had serious problems.
After the first orbital test flight, they did do a second test flight which did reach the ISS.
Interesting, I don’t know how I missed that, I follow a lot of space news. Thanks for the info / correction, definitely not as crazy given the second test that reached the ISS.
Well the astronauts on the inaugural flight are from their death wish division so they accept the risks.
