Not everything works first time

After NASA announced a delay to the launch of Artemis II until after March 6 due to a liquid hydrogen leak found in the launch core, it had us reflecting back to these words by author Lailah Gifty Akita, BSc MPhil; "Failure is not the end, it's the start of your comeback story."

Whilst not a 'failure', after all the test launches are there to do exactly that, test the systems, ensure that all safety mechanisms are in place and working, the knock on disappointment in delaying lift off will have been felt by the whole team.

Set backs happen and, as in the case for Artemis II, sometimes are vital. In our coding adventures we talk about these situations not as failures but as the opportunity to analyse, think, learn and adapt. We approach this as debugging code however, the principle is the same for all problem solving - not everything works first time it's just that some problems take more time to solve.

We'll keep eagerly watching the progress and look forward to launch date ... sometime in March 🤞🚀🌘
