    Bonus! John I is covering the NROL 85 launch!

    Edit: NSF has some spectacular footage of the boost back and re-entry being burns and trajectory.

    All things considered these are minor issues with the vehicle itself that will get fixed in a reasonable amount of time. The major problem is the upgrades to the Gn2 supplier Air Liquide. Their feed went down at the worst possible time in the middle of last week. If they dont have a Gn2 purge to maintain cleanliness in their lines that's a major problem. Nasa isn't going to publicly dog a client but that really put them in a bad place.

    Oh. I didn't think about that. I thought it was more of meeting in the air.

    Good point on the ports. I was thinking too of ISS max occupancy.

    MS-21 = 3
    Ax-1 = 4
    Crew-3 =4
    Crew-4 =4

    Add: If the Ax-1 undocking gets delay long enough, Crew-4’s launch could be delayed resulting in an indirect handover. Which would mean no American presence for a bit..

    If it's that close, AX-1 can just go sit in their Crew Dragon.

    And yet they still managed to get it done. Probably because cost plus hadn’t infected the mindset yet. There doesn’t seem to be any recognition that lack of a sense of urgency could doom the whole project as it has others in the past.
