Why they scrapped the space shuttle rather then improve and update its design and make it more cost effective is still a massive head scratcher.

The weather is going to muck up this launch. But, we're getting close!

As for the Shuttle, there was no improving it. It was expensive and dangerous. The Orion Spacecraft, which will now launch on the SLS Rocket, was orginally planed for low earth orbit flights to the iss and deep space missions to the moon. Using a Shuttle single solid rocket booster. Here was the test flight of that rocket:.


That proved to be just as dangerous. So, it was scrapped. NASA felt it was better to hand over low earth orbit operations to Commerical crew. Awarding Boeing and SpaceX the contracts in 2015. Better to have two companies launching crew, then rely on one.

Orion, back in 2012, was repurposed for deep space missions.. Moon, Asteroid and Mars.

here's a better view of that said test launch:

Blame squarely falls on Putin.

I once asked a Russian engineer what she thought of our Space Program -vs- "theirs. Little insight, she was Russian, yes. Was pro-Stalin, she was born in the 1940's. She once said "No, Slatch, you are wrong, when Stalin was in power there was NO Crime!"

Anways… this was back in 2005 or 2006. Around the time the Shuttle program was starting back up after the 2003 Columbia disaster. She said, and I quote: "You American engineers make me sick. You are so pathetic. American Engineers think to much.. Millimeter this, centimeter that. We Russians (clapping hands) slap it together and off it goes! Everything works perfectly fine!"

On a side note, I also asked her what she thought about our American (NFL) football. She said: "I do not understand your football. They hike ball, all fall down."

Here's some space porn to get ya through it. The first (un-crewed) Orion launch in December 2014 on a Delta IV Heavy. And landing.



Today's crew launch is now set for Saturday @3:21 EST.
