1- There seems to be agreement that LH is not only more challenging but way more challenging that warmer fluids. Correct?
2- This has to be largest LH tank ever flown, right (537KGal)? Second-largest LH tank was probably the space shuttle ET (396KGal)? Followed perhaps by the second stage of Saturn V (260KGal)?
3- They've said this troublesome fill line is 8 inches in diameter. Could this be larger than ever tried before?
4- Is there history on other programs of similar concerns? In other words is this fairly common 'teething pain'?
