  The art of this. One Mission has been postponed
• 0:05
  by NASA and I want to show you why.
• 0:08
  Let's take a look at the weather.
• 0:09
  William hardwood, from CBS space news.
• 0:12
  Posted this yesterday on Twitter, five PM Eastern Time
• 0:15
  update from the National Hurricane Center shows, tropical
• 0:17
  depression, nine, tracking slightly, north and west of the
• 0:20
  11:00 a.m. prediction landfall. Now expected, just south of
• 0:23
  Tampa, Kennedy Space Center, every means in the cone meaning.
• 0:29
  They have this tropical storm. This depression right now is
• 0:33
  headed towards NASA in some form.
• 0:37
  And I want to show you a little bit more information about that.
• 0:39
  Here we go. This is from, Noah know what
• 0:41
  dot-gov in is expected to produce heavy.
• 0:44
  Rainfall, flash, flooding, and possible mudslides, in areas of
• 0:48
  higher terrain, particularly over Jamaica and Cuba limited
• 0:52
  Flash and urban flooding is possible with a rainfall across
• 0:55
  the Florida Keys and Florida Peninsula through By mid next
• 1:00
  week. So hurricane conditions are
• 1:02
  possible and the Cayman Islands by early Monday but tropical
• 1:05
  storm conditions, possible possible by late Sunday and
• 1:08
  tropical storm conditions are possible in Jamaica on Sunday.
• 1:11
  So if this is heading towards Florida, this heading towards
• 1:15
  NASA, in any way the SLS rocket could possibly be in danger.
• 1:21
  I'll take another little peek at the bottom here.
• 1:24
  Ian is forecast to move near or over Western Cuba in approach
• 1:28
  the Coast of Florida. Peninsula at or near major
• 1:31
  hurricane strength, major hurricane, strength early next
• 1:35
  week. So NASA wanted to launch this
• 1:38
  thing early next week. They want to launch a three
• 1:41
  hundred and twenty two-foot tall rocket around the Moon back, but
• 1:46
  this hurricane is standing in the way and NASA knows this.
• 1:50
  So they're sending out the troops to get the rocket back to
• 1:55
  the Vehicle Assembly Building, and I'll show you what the
• 1:58
  actual Oil, tropical storm is like tropical storm tropical
• 2:04
  Cyclone. This is the speed that's going
• 2:06
  to be at with maximum sustained, winds between 39 and 72 mph 34
• 2:13
  263 knots and then a hurricane tropical Cyclone with maximum
• 2:17
  sustained. Winds of 74 mph or higher in the
• 2:20
  western North Pacific hurricanes are called typhoons.
• 2:23
  So up to 73 + possible miles per hour.
• 2:29
  For this storm. So the SLS is in danger.
• 2:33
  So let's take a look at what. NASA has to say about this teams
• 2:36
  are monitoring the weather. This is from yesterday while
• 2:38
  protecting option for Artemis, one launch the wanted to launch
• 2:43
  it on Tuesday, September 22nd, or 27th and they have a 70
• 2:47
  minute launch window to launch this giant thing at about 11:30,
• 2:51
  7:00 a.m. eastern time, they say that there's a tropical
• 2:56
  depression of the Caribbean Sea while in parallel continued to
• 2:59
  Prepare for a potential launch opportunity.
• 3:01
  For the SLS. Rocket managers are initiating
• 3:05
  activities on a non-interference basis to enable an accelerated
• 3:10
  timeline for rolling back to the Vehicle Assembly, Building the
• 3:12
  verb to protect the rocket, should it be necessary?
• 3:15
  So, what they do, they get all the teams in place, then need to
• 3:19
  move this gigantic rocket, it's like basically like moving the
• 3:22
  Statue of Liberty, but they have to move it down a road and they
• 3:26
  have to move it back to the Vehicle Assembly Building this
• 3:29
  Discussions about whether to remain at the launch pad of
• 3:31
  roll. Back to the vapor ongoing and
• 3:32
  based on the latest forecast predictions.
• 3:35
  Now just this morning just this morning.
• 3:37
  NASA released a statement according to according to the
• 3:42
  though the weather that's happening, arm is one managers
• 3:47
  wave off. September 27th.
• 3:49
  Launch preparing for roll back. So they looked at the weather
• 3:52
  and they said, this doesn't look good.
• 3:55
  We might put this rocket in danger if we keep it out there
• 3:58
  at The pad and we really don't have to launch it on a specific
• 4:02
  day right away. There's a little bit of coffee
• 4:05
  out there, but in order to prepare the rocket for movement,
• 4:11
  then you have to get the Mover back, right?
• 4:14
  So they have to roll it back to the Vehicle Assembly Building.
• 4:17
  So, here's what they say the show is brought to you by
• 4:19
  backblaze, I use back place to backup my podcast.
• 4:22
  My video files, all of my writing stuff at all, my photos,
• 4:26
  and you get unlimited computer backup for Macs, and For just $7
• 4:30
  a month, you can backup your own documents photos videos.
• 4:33
  Drawings projects, all of your data and access your backed up
• 4:37
  data from anywhere in the world using the web app and you can
• 4:40
  access the files on your mobile to iOS Android apps all covered
• 4:44
  in. This is a cool part.
• 4:45
  This is my favorite part. You can restore it by mail, a
• 4:47
  hard drive will come to your house with all your data shipped
• 4:51
  to your door. I could come to your business to
• 4:53
  and you can restore return refund program.
• 4:56
  So you can buy a hard drive restore, send the hard drive
• 4:58
  back. Back within 30 days and get a
• 5:00
  full refund. So basically they ship you this
• 5:03
  hard drive and then you ship it back and you don't ever pay for
• 5:06
  it which is the perfect program for somebody who has huge files.
• 5:09
  You don't want to waste days and days, downloading terabytes and
• 5:13
  teraflops of data. And if you're worried about
• 5:15
  accidentally, deleting your files to bucks extra month, you
• 5:18
  can increase your retention history to one year, and I use
• 5:22
  it for all of my video. Files comes in super handy.
• 5:25

  Ilan backblaze.com Ilan. Time will continue to watch the
• 6:30
  weather forecast associated with a tropical storm in during a
• 6:33
  meeting Saturday morning, teams assigned to stand down to
• 6:35
  preparing for the Tuesday, launch date, and to allow them
• 6:38
  to configure systems for rolling back to the space launch back.
• 6:42
  Those space launch system rocket and Orion spacecraft to the
• 6:45
  Vehicle Assembly, Building Engineers deferred a final
• 6:47
  decision about the role to Sunday, September 25th to allow
• 6:51
  additional data Gathering and Analysis.
• 6:52
  Furnace, 10 managers electoral back.
• 6:55
  It would begin late Sunday night or early Monday morning.
• 6:59
  Morning. So the agency is taking a
• 7:02
  stepwise approach to its decision-making process, to
• 7:05
  allow the agency to protect his employing is by completing a
• 7:08
  safe role in time for them to address the needs of the
• 7:10
  families. So it's not just about the
• 7:12
  rocket here either. NASA cares about their
• 7:14
  employees, they care about the families and the people that
• 7:17
  actually built this rocket and are going to launch this rocket.
• 7:20
  So they need to put it on the crawler, right?
• 7:24
  The crawler goes like one mile an hour and they have to move it
• 7:27
  miles away. So, It takes basically a whole
• 7:32
  night most of the day or a whole night to get this thing from the
• 7:37
  pad, all the way back to the Vehicle Assembly Building, but
• 7:41
  they have to prepare, they have to Safe the vehicle.
• 7:44
  They have to put the crawler underneath the vehicle move, the
• 7:49
  SLS. Back to the Vehicle Assembly,
• 7:52
  Building once all the crews are there and they have a somebody
• 7:55
  who drives this thing too. So earlier today, they They
• 7:59
  moved the crawler out to the pad, just in case, right?
• 8:03
  They don't want to wait till the last minute because you never
• 8:05
  know with these storms, what's going to happen?
• 8:07
  No one has a pretty good idea about what's going to happen,
• 8:10
  but you never know where this things.
• 8:13
  Get a, you know, if it's going to change direction, if it's
• 8:16
  going to get more powerful, things like that.
• 8:18
  So, get everything in place. Well, before the time, that the
• 8:22
  storm hits and then if you can, you'll move the launcher and the
• 8:28
  or sorry, the SLS and the, you know, the crawler back to the
• 8:34
  Vehicle Assembly Building, so it could take NASA all day to do
• 8:38
  them. So we're going to see on Sunday,
• 8:42
  early Sunday morning, you know, whether they're going to be
• 8:45
  moving this thing. Back to the Vehicle Assembly
• 8:48
  Building, I want to show you some other tweets from William
• 8:51
  Harwood. Here, SLS the next launch
• 8:54
  opportunity opens. 10:17 it closes 1031 It's not yet known.
• 8:59
  Whether the SLS camera made at the pad with NASA's current
• 9:02
  Eastern range. Battery waiver battery
• 9:04
  servicing. If required after the current
• 9:07
  launch, period closes would require roll back to the vibe.
• 9:11
  So if the batteries and the servicing doesn't go well, After
• 9:18
  this current launch period closes, they have to go back to
• 9:21
  the vapp. Anyway.
• 9:23
  So do they do that now and service them while the storm is
• 9:28
  going on you know, during this whole time or do they leave it
• 9:33
  out there and wait till after the storm?
• 9:37
  Wait for everything to blow over and then the next launch period
• 9:40
  opens 1017 and closes 1031. So the current launch period
• 9:46
  closes 1000 or 10 for NASA early Reserve 10 to is a backup day.
• 9:50
  Was not yet known if that remains a viable option but the
• 9:53
  window March 1. 2010 3 is just 59 minutes long, two minutes on
• 9:57
  10-4. So they have a sort of a
• 10:01
  balancing act to do here and they have to make sure that the
• 10:03
  people are safe. They have to make sure that the
• 10:05
  rocket is safe. And they also have to make sure
• 10:07
  that those batteries are, okay. So if they have to service those
• 10:10
  anyway, I think it might be best for SLS to go back to the vamp.
• 10:16
  Let me know what you think. Let me know what you think in
• 10:17
  the in the comments. I know there are a lot of people
• 10:20
  worried about the SLS at this point and I know some people are
• 10:23
  Are down there in Florida, so please stay safe.
• 10:26
  Please stay safe. If you're in this community for
• 10:28
  the spaceflight community you know just please just do
• 10:32
  everything you can to keep you and your family safe this point
• 10:35
