    Why would they load prop and oxidizer so early? Wouldn't it be the last thing to do before integration and fairing closure?

    storable prop/oxidizer. Think NTO/UDMH, not cyrogenic fuels.

    Right. I know it's not cryo. I just figured these toxic chemicals would be the LAST thing loaded.
    It's less than a month...

    I get it, you aren't in tune with how many moving pieces of the puzzle there are and how agonizingly slow the process can be at times...they are doing...ok schedule wise, with detours and obstacles constantly, literally constantly...

    All they have left to load is the lateral tile stretcher, the rotary diffuser and the hydrodynamic turbo drive with the port side ohmeters....

    Pushed to the right. This job has been one of the most difficult in recent memory. From what they expect, how they expect it and how effectively they communicate that it's been a 10/10 for sure. It's definitely the tightest clean room tolerances I've seen out here.

    Do all those connect to the malleable baseplate of prefabulated aluminite, surmounted by a malleable logarithmic casing?

    What standard are you guys using? We generally load in an ISO Class 8 or Class 7. Haven't seen many require below Class 7 though
