Dear NASA, THIS is how you deal with a Helium leak before launch. You don't just cross your fingers and hope for the best, you delay the launch until it's fixed.
@@FtheCCSD Not really the same issue. Being had 5 leaks on the actual space craft. This is one leak and its on the ground system. Nothing to do with the rocket.
I bet they did it on purpose so they can say they were able to fix their problem in 24 hours and show Boeing up. Not to mention, this is a proven vehicle. This helium leak isn't a design flaw, it's a fluke.
To be clear the helium leak is not in the rocket/capsule bur rather on the ground. Not stating this in the title is poor journalism after the helium leak problems in Boeing's starliner.
those space suits are insane if they work just as well as the legacy space suits. looks like so much more flexibility and less constriction for the astronauts
Anyone raised on the Moon, or raised on Mars will never be able to live on Earth. They will be dependent upon Earth for their survival. How is endangering anyone on a long term mission on these locations even ethical?
Mars is planned to be a Planet B incase earth is inhabitable either by manmade or natural causes, so there probably won’t be people who were born and raised their whole lives on Mars in our lifetimes.
Higher orbit (more space debris - if you hit a piece of dust at 34000 km/h then you are toast), Space Walk with new space suit, pushing the limits of the Dragon thrusters, new communication systems, etc etc. Dragon is a great craft though and hopefully it will be successful! (SpaceX fan here)
Helium leaking is a fairly common issue and it’s not easy working with it, being only slightly easier than hydrogen but not by much, and almost every rocket that used Hydrolox is gonna have hydrogen leaking.
So SpaceX has become another Boeing? Why on earth does anyone use helium? It is almost impossible to contain. Earlier spacecraft did not use helium, and never had problems like this.
The shuttle had helium tanks as part of the OBS system and other pressurization systems. Almost any rocket using liquid hydrogen has helium to either separate gases or to pressurize systems
Helium is less dense than Nitrogen, Oxygen, etc meaning you can force more of it through all the tiny internal pipes and valves, as well as store more of it in the pressurized tanks. Helium has the lowest mass with fastest speed. Also does great with temperature change!
The helium leak as described by many to be a ground leak and not a leak on the capsule. Why do people comment who clearly haven't followed the details and consequently make silly and uninformed comments like space X is now another Boeing?! Ask yourself Gerald, why one helium leak that ISN'T on the capsule makes Space X like Boeing?!?! 🙄
This mission was planned years prior and they physically can’t dock to the ISS to return them. Butch and Suni will return on Crew-9 which will launch with 2 crew and return in February
Boeing probably doing that corporate espionage now

Dear Boeing, not NASA
@@jellybean7000true, but wasn't NASA aware, so therfore partially at fault?
The Boeing launch was delayed for the same issue
@@FtheCCSD Only the first time. There was still a known Helium leak on the launch that stranded Butch and Suni on the ISS.
@@FtheCCSD Not really the same issue. Being had 5 leaks on the actual space craft.
This is one leak and its on the ground system. Nothing to do with the rocket.
are they trolling Boeing? haha

The helium leak is on the tower not the space craft!
Best safe. 24 hours to recheck and look for and fix the leak. Didn’t they have a helium leak on Dragon at some point?
The video does not state that the helium leak is on the ground side.
The Helium leak is on the ground side, not the capsule. A much easier issue to fix.

Ready go launch 🚀
Boeing We found a helium leak ok Launch anyways 😂
Different types of leak
Anyone raised on the Moon, or raised on Mars will never be able to live on Earth. They will be dependent upon Earth for their survival. How is endangering anyone on a long term mission on these locations even ethical?
Their heart, lungs, circulatory, and immune systems will come compromised if they ever come to Earth.
Mars is planned to be a Planet B incase earth is inhabitable either by manmade or natural causes, so there probably won’t be people who were born and raised their whole lives on Mars in our lifetimes.
Polaris is also a great Australian metal band🔥✊
Leaks in the ground equipment
It must have been the Astronauts sounding like Donald Duck that tipped them off….
Why is it “much higher risk”?
No explanation here. 🤷♂️🤔

Also touching into Van Allen Belt territory 🎉
Also, opening the entire capsule to the vacuum of space...
8 days equals 8 months, feels like some of my Navy deployments when the world goes to shit.
How much of this is to help Boeing save face ?
Remove Boeing from all We The People’s contracts
NASA would’ve sent it anyway😂
Shades of Boeing...
Unlike Boeings capsule, SpaceX Dragon and the Falcon 9 are not leaking, it’s the NASA equipment that attaches to them that’s leaking. Figures.
Suspicious
No not suspicious. Helium leaks are common after all. And be careful you don't over use that word 'suspicious'!
Too many DEI hiring practices. 😓
Not enough people left with enough actual talent to build rockets.

The problem is ground support equipment not the actual Dragon capsule.

Helium leaks all the time. Happened with shuttle and Apollo era vehicles too.
Not another taxpayer penny to Boeing.
No doubt a jab at Boeing
lol they truly making a mockery off Boeing and DEI lol 😂

Doesn't make sense you got stranded people in outer space
And you got people that are going up there why don't they make room to bring them back
This mission was planned years prior and they physically can’t dock to the ISS to return them. Butch and Suni will return on Crew-9 which will launch with 2 crew and return in February
The people going up there are not going to the same place as the people stranded up there. Space is a big place.
