Space Launch System
6 reportsThe strongest reporting on Space Launch System separates flight record; reusability or mission architecture; and stage and propulsion design. The discussion asks what can be established from independent reliability statistics about reusability or mission architecture and whether a compatible result appears in launch telemetry; the evidence cannot remove the concern that planned performance and advertised capacity do not replace demonstrated flights.
