view of law has been quite demonstrated to be not all of them, but some of them partisan. and so this is actually the playbook of autocrats we ve seen around the world. they tried to pack the courts with judges that are friendly to them and when they encounter a judge or a court or a jury that s not friendly to them then they attack the system to soften it up for future attack. and now we re seeing his followers going along with that. you know, what s interesting is that part of our i mean, correct me if i m wrong, but part of our judicial system is we accept the fact that you win some, you lose some and in this case, in donald trump s three pending cases he s actually one more than he i mean, he s the court seems to be in the legal system, seems to favor him more than it seems to punish him. yes, he was convicted in this case. however, in the classified documents case his trump appointed attorney, i mean, judge aileen cannon is
is my 37th year at nasa today. and i ve been doing this human spaceflight for thank thank you. long, long time. and every time you go to the pad for a crewed flight, or really any flight, you ve got a chance of scrubbing. so the team did took the right steps. we weren t really to go today. and turiel talk more about that. and i ll turn it over to mark nappi now all right. thanks, everybody for coming out this afternoon the spacecraft and the launch team did a great job today. the spacecraft performed extremely well. steve talks about the helium system it turned out that the when the system was brought up, the team looked at the information really quickly got us the leak rates and ended up being no action required so that s what we expected on the cabin, on the suit fans as we went from ground power to

three of them. okay. so for those in the room, raise your hand. wait for a microphone to get to you and then for those on the phone you can get into the question queue by pressing star one. so marsha, go ahead over here marcia dunn associated press for tori, it sounds like a hard ware issue. is that you re the best guess or what s your leading suspects at this point with his third computer? yeah, the leading suspect would be either a hardware problem or a problem with the network communication between these between the three computers in the system that interrogates them. but we won t really know until we get physical access and and troubleshoot that one rack that has this one card that came up slow okay, over here, right behind marsha thanks chris davenport with the washington post tare when you re talking about a card, i wonder if you d get a little bit more information about what you re talking about in terms of that, if that s what that entails.
