Forgive me if I don't cry if the next one doesn't work either. All the history of talk about opportunities, but did anybody get a shot at a new role?

How much money do you have to make before it doesn't matter anymore? Here's another $10M for your trophy room. Good job!

the articulating arm, made by Northrup Grumman, for the reflector failed to fully deploy hence 10% performance vs 100% if it actually worked. This part was used on Hubble space telescope but at a smaller size. NG can no longer claim 100% success rate of the arm on their website.

They spun VS3-1 to use centrifugal force to get it to deploy further but that also failed.

They have identified the issue with NG and are applying the fix to VS3-2 and VS3-3.

NG should be offering all the laid off engineers jobs with them for this fiasco. Boy would I love to see the test results of the arm post integration... who forgot the WD-40?

That guy at 1:25 should be held accountable for the schedule slips and cost overruns of VS3...yet he is still employed????

Let’s hope all of their future satellites fail.
