The REAL total time available for the second launch will be of ONLY a few dozens hours inside the 95 days!
This additional problem increases very much the risk of a mission's fail if the launch delays will happen in these few, very critical, hours. |
I really have to question this. The moon is only a few days away. This isn't like trying to insert a fast moving probe into a far reaching planet or planets moon. The astronauts would be able to orbit the moon at their leasure, and land when they're ready. They're not going to go from Earth orbit and instantly try and land. We have been there before, contrary to some peoples beliefs.
As others have said, lots of handwaving here. You're going to have to come up with a lot better arguments than whats written on the web page in question.
