Red Team Saves the Launch

Hi All,

We all understand that fire fighters, police and members of the military at times risk their lives in doing their jobs. We now have new heros to add to the list.

Imagine this if you can. With the Artemis 1 rocket almost fully fueled, a leak is detected. NASA sends a three man "Red Team" to try to stop the leak. They go under the rocket, six million pounds of creaking groaning metal straining to contain the super chilled propellant, with vent valves randomly  popping off. It's a struggle to focus but they find and fix the leak so we can witness this.

You can read more about these heros here.
