There's not a single person on the team that shies away from the responsibility that we have to manage ourselves and our contractors and to deliver, and deliver means meeting those flight test objectives for( Artemis I), and meeting the objectives of the Artemis I program.

Our management team apologize to [ the operator in charge of overseeing the process ] because we had made some manual procedure changes between the attempt on Monday and attempt on Saturday, we practiced it during the week but they'd only had a couple of chances. So we didn't as a leadership team, put our our operators in the best place we could have we rely really heavily on our credit team.

If they decide that is not the right thing to do, we obviously will support that and stand down and look for our next launch attempt, but we still will press with the tanking test.

There's not a single person on the team that shies away from the responsibility that we have to manage ourselves and our contractors and to deliver, and deliver means meeting those flight test objectives for( Artemis I), and meeting the objectives of the Artemis Ground Systems Program.

We also want to be realistic and upfront with you that it may take more than one attempt to get the procedures where we need them for a smoother launch count that gives us the best chance to making our launch windows.
