And more delays. Not trying again tomorrow. Instead rolling the stack back to the Vertical Integration Facility tomorrow, so they can get at the service module where the valves in question are. *sigh*

Latest from Space.com is delayed indefinitely:

The Next Spaceflight app shows a NET date of August 7.

So I guess we’ll be waiting….

Some yahoo probably didn't bother to prepare them with 3-in-1 oil and gauze pads.

Yay-Hoos need to be kept away from ALL aviation/aerospace activities.

Yep. Only a select few can prepare a fetzer valve properly.

Now they've decided to haul the capsule back to their facilities because they can't prepare their Fetzer valves with 3 in 1 oil and gauze pads or install it while it is stacked on the Atlas V! I bet they didn't have 10 quarts of Prestone or Quaker State antifreeze on hand either!

Sadly, I have to agree with GH. Whether this is Boeing’s issue or Aerojet-Rocketdyne’s issue (surely they should have figured that these valves would be in moist air in Florida!), it’s yet another issue that should not have cropped up at all.

At this rate, maybe they can put it in the trunk of a Starship and hitch a ride to orbit.
