Ungefär tre veckor kvar tills SpaceX raket krockar med månen. Nog för man trodde att universum var oändligt, men månen kom i vägen denna gång
SpaceX har problem med fallskärmarna. En av de fyra fallskärmarna har öppnats långsamt vid flera tillfällen, men landningshastigheten har varit normal. Informationen om detta har hållits tillbaka. I rymdbranschen talar man om faran med att "normalisera fel" dvs att förklara bort avvikelser som att "de gör ingenting". Detta anses ha bidragit till olyckorna med rymdfärjorna. Så nu tittar man på fallskärmarna. Tre bemannade landingar stundar.

NASA and SpaceX are investigating the delayed opening of a parachute on a cargo Dragon spacecraft that recently returned to Earth, an incident similar to one that took place on a Crew Dragon spacecraft last year.
a “known condition” seen in some previous tests.
NASA and SpaceX are reviewing the parachute data ahead of the Crew-4 launch, scheduled for mid-April, and the subsequent return of the Crew-3 Crew Dragon spacecraft currently at the station. A commercial Crew Dragon flight to the International Space Station, Axiom Space’s Ax-1 mission, is scheduled for launch March 30, returning before the Crew-4 launch.
His comments were in response to a question about “normalization of deviance,” a concept where organizations ignore data that is out of normal bounds because it did not cause an immediate safety issue but which could post a longer-term hazard. Normalization of deviance was a factor in both the shuttle Challenger and Columbia accidents.
However, the lack of coverage continued even after cargo Dragon splashdowns moved to just off the Florida coast, the same location used for Crew Dragon splashdowns. NASA and SpaceX limited their coverage of the CRS-24 splashdown Jan. 24 to tweets and blog posts, without any photos or video. A NASA “Space to Ground” video about ISS activities, published Jan. 28, mentioned the splashdown but used file images from previous Dragon splashdowns.
“There is a real thirst out there for better understanding of what the agency is doing and, for some reason, the organization can’t seem to push that out the way we used to back in the shuttle days,” he said. “There seems to have been a marked decrease in the information flow.
