Провалов не было, а Demo-1 повторить необходимо. Да ещё и за свой счёт. 400 млн вечнозелёных. Not, как же так получается?
400 млн. конечно деньги, но не так чтобы очень большие для Боинга. С Демо-1 могли бы конечно и поплотнее поработать на предмет верификации алгоритмов, но в общем и целом выглядит вполне терпимо для первого полета. Вот с MAX-ом был действительно провал, поскольку ошибка была внесена на концептуальном уровне. Точно такой же провал - САС Дракона, просто петух жареный пока не клюнул.

"Throughout my long government career of over four and a half decades I have always found it to be true that we are sometimes, as leaders, called on to take risks," Loverro wrote in the letter, dated Tuesday. "Our mission is certainly not easy, nor for the faint of heart, and risk-taking is part of the job description."The risks we take, whether technical, political, or personal, all have potential consequences if we judge them incorrectly," he wrote. "I took such a risk earlier in the year because I judged it necessary to fulfill our mission."Now, over the balance of time, it is clear that I made a mistake in that choice for which I alone must bear the consequences," Loverro wrote. "And therefore, it is with a very, very heavy heart that I write to you today to let you know that I have resigned from NASA effective May 18th, 2020."
Все же очень интересно, что он имеет ввиду.
это оценочное суждение

And they're off! Dragon astronauts Doug Hurley and Bob Behnken have departed Ellington Field in Houston aboard a NASA Gulfstream jet en route to the Kennedy Space Center for the final week of launch preps.

После отставки Дуга Ловерро, какие могут возникнуть сложности в заключительные дни перед пуском Crew Dragon задает вопрос Эрик Бергер (Арс Техника)? И сам на него отвечает.

More likely to me:
 • "Apollo veteran thinks SpaceX is unsafe at any speed"
 • "Andy Pasztor story in the Wall Street Journal
 • "Heated words at FRR raise doubt about Crew Dragon's safety"
 • "Russia refuses to allow Crew Dragon to dock at ISS"


ЦитироватьНаиболее вероятные:

 Ветеран программы Аполло думает, что СпейсХ небезопасен на любой скорости.

Andy Pasztor опубликует статью в Уолл Стрит Джорнел ( Andy Pasztor - противник коммерческой космонавтики  вообще и компании СпейсХ в частности.)

Слово за слово на заседании FRR (21 мая) возникнут сомнения по поводу безопасности  Crew Dragon

Россия откажется разрешить стыковку  Crew Dragon к МКС

The NASA astronauts who will become the first Americans to launch to the International Space Station from American soil in nearly a decade are on their way to the agency's Kennedy Space Center in Florida. Demo-2 crew members Robert Behnken and Douglas Hurley are expected to arrive at the Launch and Landing Facility runway at the spaceport today around 4 p.m. EDT.

NASA Administrator Jim Bridenstine and Center Director Bob Cabana will be at the runway to welcome the astronauts. A media Q&A will follow at the runway. These events will be broadcast live on NASA Television and online at www.nasa.gov/live.

Liftoff of the SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket carrying the Crew Dragon spacecraft is targeted for Wednesday, May 27, at 4:33 p.m. EDT from Kennedy's historic Launch Complex 39A. The Demo-2 mission will serve as an end-to-end flight test to validate the SpaceX crew transportation system, paving the way for its certification for regular crew flights to the station as part of NASA's Commercial Crew Program.

The Demo-2 flight crew has reported to NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida to start final preparations for liftoff. NASA astronauts Robert Behnken and Douglas Hurley arrived at the Launch and Landing Facility runway after departing earlier today from Ellington Field near the agency's Johnson Space Center in Houston. They're slated to lift off at 4:33 p.m. EDT on Wednesday, May 27, aboard a SpaceX Crew Dragon spacecraft carried by a Falcon 9 rocket – the first launch of American astronauts from American soil to the International Space Station in nearly a decade.

The Demo-2 mission will test the SpaceX crew transportation system from launch to docking to splashdown, paving the way for its certification for regular crew flights to the International Space Station as part of NASA's Commercial Crew Program.

Upon stepping out of the aircraft, Behnken explained how excited he and Hurley are to be the first to fly on the Crew Dragon.

"We're thankful for that opportunity," Behnken said. "We view it as an opportunity, but also, a responsibility – for the American people, for the SpaceX team, for all of NASA – who put this opportunity together and entrusted us with it."

"I happen to have been one of the four astronauts who landed here almost nine years ago in T-38s on the 4th of July in 2011 to close out the Space Shuttle Program. It's incredibly humbling to be here to start out the next [crewed] launch from the United States," Hurley said. "I also want to thank the incredible men and women of SpaceX that have put so many thousands of hours of work into this rocket and spacecraft. We're looking forward to getting up close and personal with Falcon 9 and Crew Dragon in just a few days."

NASA Administrator Jim Bridenstine and Center Director Bob Cabana greeted Behnken and Hurley as they stepped off the NASA Gulfstream aircraft at the runway's parking apron.

"This will be the fifth time in American history when we have launched American astronauts on a brand-new vehicle. We did it in Mercury, Gemini, Apollo, we did it with the space shuttles, and now we're going to do it with a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket and Crew Dragon capsule; and it's these gentlemen that are going to have the opportunity to pioneer once more for the United States of America," Bridenstine said. Turning to the crew, he added, "You're the best that America has to offer."

Cabana recalled the last time astronauts arrived to prepare for launch from Kennedy – the STS-135 crew, including Hurley, who piloted space shuttle Atlantis on the program's final flight.
"It's been almost nine years since July 4, 2011. That's the last time a crew flew into the landing facility on their way to space," Cabana said. "I can't tell you how great it is to welcome Bob and Doug here for this historic mission."

Tomorrow, NASA and SpaceX managers will conduct a flight readiness review at Kennedy to determine whether the Crew Dragon and its systems are ready for the mission. A news conference will follow at approximately 6 p.m., or one hour after the review concludes. Watch it live on NASA Television or on the web at https://www.nasa.gov/live.

Члены экипажа Crew Dragon прибыли на космодром на мысе Канаверал
Директор NASA Джим Брайденстайн отметил, что впервые за почти девять лет американские астронавты будут доставлены на МКС "на американской ракете, которая стартует с американской земли"


НЬЮ-ЙОРК, 21 мая. /ТАСС/. Американские астронавты Даглас Харли и Роберт Бенкен прибыли в среду на космодром на мысе Канаверал (штат Флорида) за неделю до запланированного на 27 мая пилотируемого запуска к Международной космической станции (МКС) космического корабля Crew Dragon компании SpaceX. Трансляция велась на сайтеНационального управления США по аэронавтике и исследованию космического пространства (NASA).

"Для нас огромная честь вернуться в Центр космических полетов им. Кеннеди", - сказал Харли, который участвовал в последнем полете в рамках программы использования возвращаемых кораблей Space Shuttle. Она была прекращена в 2011 году, и с тех пор астронавтов доставляют на МКС российские "Союзы". "Это потрясающий момент для NASA и для всей космической программы <...>", - добавил он.

Директор NASA Джим Брайденстайн отметил, что впервые за почти девять лет американские астронавты будут доставлены на МКС "на американской ракете, которая стартует с американской земли". "Вы стали лучом света для всей Америки", - обратился он к астронавтам, отметив, что США и "весь мир переживают сейчас тяжелые времена".

Харли и Бенкен были доставлены во Флориду из Центра пилотируемых полетов имени Джонсона в Хьюстоне (штат Техас), где они проходили предполетную подготовку. Старт корабля намечен на 27 мая в 16:32 по времени Восточного побережья США (23:32 мск), а стыковка с МКС - на 28 мая.
Спойлер
Crew Dragon - модификация грузового корабля Dragon, который уже доставляет грузы на МКС. В автоматическом режиме этот корабль был отправлен к станции с помощью ракеты-носителя Falcon-9 2 марта прошлого года и пристыковался к ней на следующий день. Его расстыковка состоялась через неделю. Посадочный модуль после спуска на парашютах приводнился в Атлантическом океане.

Crew Dragon recovery vessel GO Searcher is en-route to Pensacola, Florida. (ICYMI)

The ship will be stationed in the area for the Demo-2 launch in case Dragon needs to abort from orbit and the Gulf of Mexico is chosen for splashdown.
