Construction postponed again. This time it’s expected to be at work stoppage until the arrival of Hook III.

Turnarounhd time on Hook III has officially caused a monthlong delay for scheduled launch,compounded by a sunspot situation. Many resources affected.

A major fuel line leak has been traced to a damaged pressure vessel. It’s difficult to see how it can meetits current launch date.

New Equipment will arrive in yet another JIT triumph for lava tube projects, the Ceres colony ship, and pretty mucheverything else. The Hook program maximizes efficiency and decreases waste by ensuring that inventory and storage are not problems with goods and materials arriving only as we need them.
