Flannery made the phosphor on my monitor glow in
such a way as to indicate that:


That Hubble repair mission is causing a lot of trouble as far as
scheduling for other things goes:

Like an Ares-1-X slip is going to slow the actual program down.


NASA management certainly played the blame the Russians game with ISS, so it
wouldn't surprise me if they were found doing the same sort of thing with
Ares.

I have just read an article in the Times which says that Apollo/saturn
veterans are being drafted in to sort out the Ares problems. I did say
some time back that Sauturn worked and one could do a lot worse than
dig out the S5 designs.
