PS Everyone will be allowed to follow up, but respect Dr Sowers already has a lot of questions to get through (whatever he selects), so don't overload. Make sure it's an important follow up.
On the future human flights, how would ULA and the customers deal with safety at the management level to ensure that any problems related to astronaut safety and risks of LOM/LOC can be clearly and effectively reported to the highest level?GP
Thanks for being willing to participate in this event, Mr Sowers.How much assistance have NASA provided during the Human Rating efforts under the SAA. Does this cooperation model work, in your opinion?
If I can ask, did ULA have to redesign simulated trajectoriesm etc. for crewed Atlas V missions due to black zones, or was that never a real problem?
Will ULA be building access towers, etc, for the commercial crew vehicles or is that something the vehicle providers will handle themselves?
If a fatal accident occurs, what liability will ULA incur?--- CHAS
And further on pad modifications, what are the plans for the EES (Emergency Egress System), past the use of the lift.
What is the future of RL-10 and Centaur? Are there modifications under consideration to reduce the costs there to improve the costs of ULA vehicles compared to foreign and domestic competition for commercial or DoD launches?
