bummer

found it,

Over the next several days, teams will establish access to the area of the leak at Launch Pad 39B, and in parallel conduct a schedule assessment to provide additional data that will inform a decision on whether to perform work to replace a seal either at the pad, where it can be tested under cryogenic conditions, or inside the Vehicle Assembly Building.

To meet the requirement by the Eastern Range for the certification on the flight termination system, currently set at 25 days, NASA will need to roll the rocket and spacecraft back to the VAB before the next launch attempt to reset the system’s batteries. The flight termination system is required on all rockets to protect public safety.

the could have gone the first time after a suscessful hydrogen leak was fixed by a faulty temperature sensor stopped them then
guess hydrogen leaks to some extent and this isnt unusual

That cuz of cost-effectiveness?
A space elevator would be cool

the payload lost at ever launch to fuel needed for the landing.

would be interesting to know how many landings it takes to make a reuseable rocket worth it...

right now payload is taking a real hit but it seems rockets are about to get pretty big so i guess that not really a deal

I suspect by time we get an answer it'll be like "shut up or they'll hear you"

if your gain was high enough
youd see earth as a pulsing affair whos incepts would have produced a spiral of waves emanating out from earths equator as strong sources were few for a while...

the further it goes the faster it goes
