NASA SLS rocket is in 'excellent condition' after weekend's hot fire test abort

One person tweeted: “The latest failure of SLS on its Green Run test is further proof that too much pressure is being put on the SLS teams to meet checkpoints.

“I can’t get over how it went from going a full eight and a half minutes, to two and a half is enough data for us, to 67 second abort.”

Another person said: “SLS core stage finally fired, after years and years of production and billions of dollars pouring into the program. And on its first test firing? An abort only a quarter of the way into the test.

“I mean…come on. The SLS is such a mess (stupid, expensive mess). #NASA #SLS”

NASA has, however, assured the SLS did not fail the test but, rather, all of the rocket’s systems worked as expected.
