What Elon Knew all along... Nearly one hundred billion dollars have gone into NASA’s SLS rocket and the Orion spacecraft, designed to bring America back to the Moon and stay ahead of China. Yet the program keeps running into the same problems: technical issues, rising costs, and repeated delays. Most recently, NASA had to roll SLS back to the Vehicle Assembly Building because of a helium leak, pushing Artemis 2 back by several more months. That latest setback has people asking a serious question: are SLS and Orion heading toward cancellation? Elon Musk has likely known the trajectory for years, but he has never said it publicly. So is this the tipping point for SLS and Orion? And what does Musk see that others don’t? Let’s take a closer look in today’s episode of Alpha Tech. NASA's $93 billion Moon Rocket officially FALLS APART. What Elon Knew all along... It almost feels like NASA is leaning a little too comfortably on the phrase “better safe than sorry” as Artemis 2 keeps slipping further down the calendar. Maybe it is pure caution. Maybe it is something else. Most of us can sense there is more going on, even if proving it is another story. Yes, this will be the first crewed mission to lunar orbit in the 21st century. Of course they need to be careful. But not every explanation they give sounds convincing. On the evening of February 25, the massive Space Launch System and the Orion spacecraft were officially rolled off Launch Complex 39B at Kennedy Space Center and sent back to the Vehicle Assembly Building. The trip took ten and a half hours to crawl just 4.2 miles. All of that effort, just to fix a problem we have seen before. The issue traces back to an abnormal interruption in the helium flow to the Interim Cryogenic Propulsion Stage, or ICPS, during post-Wet Dress Rehearsal safing operations. If this were a hydrogen leak, that would be a different conversation. Hydrogen is notoriously difficult to manage. But this is helium. NASA's $93 billion Moon Rocket officially FALLS APART. What Elon Knew all along... Investigators identified the likely culprit as a faulty or stuck check valve on the ICPS. When that valve does not operate properly, helium cannot circulate as designed. And helium is critical. It is used to purge the engine system and to pressurize the liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen propellant tanks. Without stable helium flow, those systems cannot be conditioned safely. Here is the frustrating part. This is almost identical to what happened before Artemis 1. So the obvious question is, what exactly have NASA’s engineers been doing over the past few years? Was this simply an oversight, or something more deliberate? Back then, replacing the valve and re-inspecting the entire helium system took roughly five to six weeks. That repair alone had a direct impact on the launch schedule. And this time will not be a quick patch either. === Subcribe Alpha Tech:    / @alphatech4966   ===
