Both BO and NASA need to work on their communications

@SciGuySpace
When Thomas Zurbuchen ran NASA's science programs, he prioritized communications with the media. Since he left, the ability to get clear and responsive information on science programs at the agency has sadly diminished.

NASA's ESCAPADE website now lists a launch window of Oct. 13 to 21 for the mission.

Fun story: I contacted NASA last week about the window, and was told only Blue Origin could provide that info. (Blue never got back to me when I asked them.) Strange…

Well, Elon pissed someone off again. The talk this morning was to let SpaceX investigate since it happened on landing of a very used booster and keep other flights on track.

He's backing the other candidate and runs a site that allows the right to speak.

More FAA fun and it involves that CNBC report that I mentioned in reply 3547 on SpX's water use
Basically they're looking into it.

So the software update to allow uncrewed undocking and departure is apparently good to go.

The Texas Commission on Environmental Quality has fined SpaceX $3,750 for an unauthorized discharge of "industrial wastewater" into surrounding wetlands. It is not yet clear what this means for FAA approval of an increased launch cadence from South Texas.

Crew-9 change confirmed, relating to the uncrewed Starliner CFT return.

"NASA astronaut Nick Hague and Roscosmos cosmonaut Aleksandr Gorbunov will launch no earlier than Tuesday, Sept. 24, on the agency’s SpaceX Crew-9 mission to the International Space Station. NASA astronauts Zena Cardman and Stephanie Wilson, previously announced as crewmates, are eligible for reassignment on a future mission."

Last time I heard those noises, they were coming from the tracker used by Hudson to track the Xenomorphs in 'Aliens'. Now someone is going to get cocooned on the Starliner.
