Seems like it’s always helium, doesn’t it?
Quick, ask Boeing for adv… no wait.
The could check with SLS, which, wait, no, and also Boeing.
ULA could probably give some actual useful insight.
There should be one person, ONE, whose whole life is checking/testing seals on thrusters. He’s like a monk, no wife or children, his whole life is the freakin’ seals. After 10 years of dedication, hand him a lavish pension, buy him a fine farm and release him from his vows.
That wouldn’t work.
Boeing knew there was a leak, said it wasn’t too bad and launched anyway. Then they reconsidered. The great O-Ring Monk wouldn’t have fixed this.
Don’t take my dreams! We need religious orders of monk engineers, like in “A Canticle for Leibowitz”.
Let’s know what helium is doing before doing the thing!
