To celebrate the launch of Artemis II and finally getting our asses back around the moon as a species. Let's have a Nasapone thread as I have not seen one it a while.>I'm surprised there wasn't one made earlier.

>>43151055Right now the crew just woke up and perigee raise burn is about an hour away,
>>43151056
>>43151047Artemis is supposed to end in a space station orbiting the Moon, right? I feel like it's kinda weird not do to one on the surface IMO t. not /sci/ so don't know if it's actually good or not
>>43151059Lunar Gateway is in limbo right now waiting to see what will happen with ISS. Right now the plan is to have private companies have the low Earth orbit stations that lease out space to agencies to do science and the like.Lunar Gateway was supposed to be the big step to help with whatever base is built and can be used as a "gas station" for whatever Mar mission happens in the next hundred years.
>>43151065>Right now the plan is to have private companies have the low Earth orbit stationswhy would anyone host one privately? ISS was/is a giant waste of taxbux, I don't think there's enough interest in operating one by a private entity unless of course I miss some niche that could be taken by them. Something fancy for Starlink, maybe?
>>43151068A lot of chemistry and pharmaceuticals that can produce higher quality things in low gravity. Or can only be made in low low gravity, so there is a business opportunity there. Varda is a good example of this
Oh hey neat a Nasapone thread.>>43151069Varda does the crystalisation growth for meds and stuff right? Rocket Lab was their provider iirc
>>43151069really interesting, hope this sort of stuff becomes more common knowledge when meds (and maybe other goods) produced in this manner become generally available inb4 "Breaking Bad in space" because there's no FDA in cosmos
>>43151072That's right! I was wondering when you would show up shouldn't you be in bed with your whack ass timezone?>>43151076I hope so too with a bunch of everyday things we take for granted nowadays are from the OG Space Race.
>>43151077>I hope so too with a bunch of everyday things we take for granted nowadays are from the OG Space Race.are you talking about 'puters or some other tech?

>>43151077Wanted to catch the orbit burn before calling it a night.
>>43151080pretty darn neat
>>43151087>that file nameThat's okay anon she is best princess
>>43151084Seems Endeavor tipped over Could have sworn this was one of the edited photos
Did they fix the toilet?
>>43151108Yeah they got it working. I swear if they just did a single orbit and returned to Earth because of the missing filter I would have laughed a bunch though.
>>43151047She's dead, get over itThe best you can hope is to find her corpse up there
Best thread to wake up to!
She's alive and she'll be saved, I'm sure of it. I'll never stop believing.
>>43151149I'll never stop believing too. I hope they wave at her as they float overhead
>>43151149>Hacoчкasocks for Nasapone when?
>>43151149Her snowpity essence got absorbed into the universe itself. She's one with the moon and the stars. Everytime you look in the sky, and see a particular star shining slightly brighter than the rest, that's her. She's very much alive, and she's all around us.
>>43151157
>>43151162>In space, no one can hear you clop
