> that's what "untested" means in spaceflight
replySort of. At a certain threshold, everything is untested. I’d put this closer to modified than untested—the general config was tested in Artemis I and the specific configuration in a variety of ground tests.
I'd say it's tested. It failed. Then they're flying it anyway. Wonderful stuff.
replyAnd the next flight will use a different design. I wonder why?
