///You're going to get spoiled!////

I'll just have to be risk it, I guess. Sigh.

Better to get spoiled than to lose your FF tickets. We feel obligated to take that trip. That's the only reason we're going, in fact. One does so hate waste.

////. Some clowns at at NASA (management types; the usual source of problems- -they had been warned by the engineers long ago) JUST NOTICED that they will be using solid fuel boosters that are basically a new design and they have "concerns". Like will the things blow up? ////

You seem to be saying that engineers told management that the fuel boosters hadn't been tested adequately and might blow up, but management paid no attention?

Good lord.

Shouldn't the engineers have made a bigger issue of it?

What can an additional week and a half do about that?
