Top-down pressure to launch a late, over-budget NASA rocket despite weather concerns you say? At least this time they're smart enough not to put a schoolteacher on board.
The margins for safety with space launches are always very slim, but I would hope science and practicality win over top-down pressure if that's present for the human mission.
Are they? Or is that just what NASA says? Because look at the failure rate of the Soyus or the Falcon 9. Compare it to the shuttle...
It does seem like they’re getting a lot of top-down pressure to just launch the thing. What’s even crazier to me is that this is supposed to be the only full test before people ride the actual thing.
