It’s a frustrating start to the Artemis era!
Once favored by SpaceX CEO Elon Musk as "Godspeed Artemis", the first launch of NASA's SLS rocket now is being hindered by outdated technologies!!!
The latest SLS hydrogen leak is a sign of the Artemis program's backwardness!!!
That raises the question, why does the old rocket still exist?
Is there any way to save this low-tech rocket?
Is this time for Starship launch?
Let’s find out the answer in today’s episode of Great SpaceX!

Hydrogen leaks are nothing new for NASA!
Scrubs of Space Shuttle launches happened with upsetting regularity and were often the result of hydrogen leaks. One of the more infamous episodes was “the summer of hydrogen,” when ground teams spent more than six months trying to locate an elusive hydrogen leak that grounded the Shuttle fleet in 1990.
SLS is heavily modeled after the Space Shuttle, including the use of liquid hydrogen propellant, so hydrogen-related scrubs could certainly have been predicted.
But SLS is what it is, and NASA has little choice but to manage this limitation of its mega Moon rocket.
Jordan Bimm, a space historian at the University of Chicago, says NASA continues to use liquid hydrogen for political rather than technical reasons.
“Since the creation of NASA in 1958, the agency has used contractors located around the U.S. as a way to maintain broad political support and funding for space exploration in Congress. The first system to use liquid hydrogen was the Centaur rocket developed in the 1950s and 1960s. In 2010, the U.S. Congress, in their authorization act funding NASA, mandated that the Agency use existing technologies from the Shuttle in their next-generation launch system.”
To which he added: “This was a political decision meant to maintain contractor jobs in key political districts and from that funding and support in Congress for NASA.”
This development meant that the RS-25 engine from the retiring Space Shuttle, along with its reliance on a liquid hydrogen/liquid oxygen mixture, would have to be carried over to SLS. In total, NASA managed to collect 16 engines from the retired Shuttles, of which four are currently affixed to the SLS rocket standing on the launch pad at Kennedy Space Center in Florida.
