The Orion spacecraft is now within 90,000 miles of the Moon, with less than 2 days remaining before its lunar flyby. Come and join us to discuss all things Artemis II. >Artemis II MissionArtemis II NASA's first crewed mission to the Moon in over 50 years. Launched on April 1, 2026, the four-person crew is currently on a ~10-day lunar flyby mission aboard the Orion spacecraft. This is the first time humans have traveled beyond low Earth orbit since Apollo 17 in 1972. The flight is testing systems for future lunar landings and Mars missions.>Live Coveragehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m3kR2KK8TEshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6RwfNBtepa4>Mission Trackershttps://www.nasa.gov/missions/artemis-ii/arow/https://artemis-ii-tracker.com/https://issinfo.net/artemis.html>The CrewReid Wiseman (Commander) - Navy test pilot and former ISS astronaut.https://www.nasa.gov/people/reid-wiseman/Victor Glover (Pilot) - Navy aviator, first black astronaut to live aboard the ISS, and Crew-1 pilot.https://www.nasa.gov/humans-in-space/astronauts/victor-j-glover/Christina Koch (Mission Specialist) - Record holder for longest single spaceflight by a woman (328 days).https://www.nasa.gov/people/christina-koch/Jeremy Hansen (Mission Specialist) - Canadian Space Agency astronaut, fighter pilot and physicist.https://www.asc-csa.gc.ca/eng/astronauts/canadian/active/bio-jeremy-hansen.asp>What is Orion?Orion is NASA's deep space exploration spacecraft designed to take humans to the Moon and beyond.

I work at NASA, I have a cool Artemis II patch for having helped work on it. ask me anything.I'll go get a pic of it in a sec
>>532417425>the four-person crewlol, still only four personsHow many days has it been stuck at four persons? Four days? Five days?
Globeniggers eternally BTFO43 MILLION a day in taxpayer money and STILL can’t provide a single picture KEK!
>>532417520How's morale at NASA, and how do people feel about Isaacman's new plan?
>>532417530We love you Gary
>>532417530It's a 2 person crew + a nigger and a woman
Earth is spherical, space is real, moon landing is fake.
>>532417425That picture is AI lmao. Fuckin space faggots
>>532417425notice that land mass is Australia, its difficult to identify because its mirrored a sloppy cut & pasta
>>532417520Is NASA currently designing a moon base, or are they just going to hope there's a "commercial solution" like for the lunar lander
>>532417425It's really a secret mission to Uranus.
>>532417520What kind of non-disclosure agreement did you have to sign before you started lying and shilling for this garbage?
>>532417659depends on the department... of course groups like mars sample return are all annoyed about being canceled, and various earth sensing probe peeps are in a living nightmare with not knowing if they're getting funding.But as a whole, I think we're all extremely happy with Jared. His changes are practically all for the better. >>532417909my friends on Gateway are being shuffled around to the lunar base as we speak, so it's 'real' in that sense. It's early days, we don't know if congress will even fund it. I personally have worked on JAXA's rover, which is cool (even if it's over weight budget atm)>>532417984all I have is a Public Trust determination lol. some civil servants have secret clearances tho
>>532417520I seriously hope the lander is ready in 2 years, but I have extreme doubts, is leadership acting like it’ll be ready?
>>532417644How did she shrink the entire moon? It should still weigh around 1,000 lbs at that size, and she's not struggling at all. I think that video might be fake...
>>532418111there is this interesting phenomenon where as you go down each level of management it flip-flops as if someone believes in the timelines. Blue Origin will have a Mk2 lander ready 100%. I've worked with that team. Good blokes.Starship HLS is a mystery. Wish I could say more.
>>532417761It's a solo mission, the nigger and the woman brought a leaf
>>532417530Yay, my nigger Gary is back!Best Leaf, NA
>>532418040That's awesome anon. Thanks for posting. How do you personally feel about the planned mission to Mars? Any interesting perspectives on that? I feel like most people don't realize what a step up it is from the Moon.
Inb4 0-2 moon pics released.
https://x.com/NASA/status/2040647522276802773New NASApost just dropped.
>>532418429Nah it’s fine, it’s good to know there’s hope the timeline might actually be real. Wouldn’t have expected blue origin to beat spacex 5 years ago, but maybe that’ll kick Elon in the balls enough to get him to care about space instead of his retarded AI shit again
>>532418634it is going to be incredibly expensive. We throw some SBIR money towards little dinky prototype hardware for manned mars 'stuff' each year, and there are papers and concepts galore, but until there is triple-digit billions allocated I worry we'll have such a fragile architecture that it won't ever reach fruition.If Elon does become a gazillionare from Optimus bots, I suspect he'll be able to fund a to-and-back mission with like 3 people initially, but it'll be 2034+ for that.
>>532418971>2034+ for manned SpaceX Mars mission Plausible Thanks for the answers
>>532418857That's surprisingly cool, seeing the moon facing a different direction than usual
>>532419439to elaborate on the post, when Apollo missions would orbit the moon, the phase was selected to be waxing for heating(?) reasons. For this flyby, we want almost as full a moon as possible.
>>532417520tell us about your KSP save file
>>532418857>>532419439Its funny how people still question why the heebs control the show, when slack jawed goy cattle like you believe any of this is real lol.
>>532419625>For this flyby, we want almost as full a moon as possible.Why was that?
>>532419700to see the whole moon, lol. the press kit might mention a more technical reason.
>>532417520Why dont they ever show the crew on lift off?
>>532419652I think most people subconsciously don't, given how no one gives a shit about this or is talking about it. As opposed to the 60s when everyone was glued to their TVs like it was the return of Christ.
>>532417425
>>532419638man, I started playing KSP when v0.9 came out. That was before you could use time compression I recall. fun times.>>532420102they do!; for like every crew dragon flight you can see em 'deploy' the ZGI which is always a treat :)Unless you mean like right at T-0?
>>532417520I worked on a dryer for a nasa engineer once. It was a heat pump dryer that used refrigeration theory to dry his clothes. His wife purchased it accidentally and they refused to believe it was not as good as a regular dryer. His wife would do multiple consecutive loads in the unit and it caused excess condensation buildup that got on the unprotected circuits and which would cause the unit to stop functioning until it dried out. I explained this to them. She (president of a hospital) wanted to have the manufacturer swap it even though she made a mistake. He (top dog NASA engineer) went red in the face and screamed at me to completely disassemble the unit and "prove" to him it didn't work. I didn't get a fancy engineering degree but I'm not sure how you can prove anything about the function of a machine when it is disassembled into its inert, powerless components. Sadly I don't think I'll ever know, I'm not a NASA engineer. It was a real shame, he gave me a sticker when we first met.
>>532417520How much money did you get at your bar mitzvah?
>>532420316Yea i mean right at lift off, the start. Why never show them? Or i missed it. I watched clips of spaceshuttle launches too and never live feed of them taking off from the inside.
>>532418857
>>532420404I didn't do mine.
>>532417520The original moon landings were fake and filmed by Mr Stanley Kubrick.
>>532418040Based. Don't let the schizos get to you.
>>532420190>>532420190>I think most people subconsciously don't, given how no one gives a shit about this or is talking about itI agree but, I meant the space goyims ITT and all the other ones that they've been shitting the board up with specifically
>>532417425>comfy science related threadthanks bro, this is a gem in a cesspool
>>532420514I assume it's a PAO rule if someone vomits on liftoff or something like that. There is cabin video of the mercury flights, I think, from T-0. >>532420743oh ok I'll keep that in mind
also I highly recommend https://apolloinrealtime.orgit only has 11, 13, 17 but the rest should be added eventually. very comfy.
>>532420514I suspect the astronauts don’t exactly want to be seen experiencing the g forces, maybe it’s just a courtesy
>>532418040very cool badge anon! im jealouswhen did you start working there? I imagine its pretty high in demand and hard to join without sufficient background but I may be wrong
>>532420038Oh lol ok Lel
>>532418040Why doesn't the moon rotate? Why do we only see one side of it?
>>532420947My theory is that they aren’t in there. Its all just a remote rocket they shoot into the bermuda triangle, probably
>>532420914based, this website is goated. i have sat through all of them. i believe the next one they are working on (t. admin via the forums) is apollo 16
& here's the A17 liftoff that seems to always get a billion replies on this board: https://apolloinrealtime.org/17/?t=188:01:21>>532420974been at NASA three years. You'd think we're all the creme of the crop, but there's also janitors, shitty engineers (me), random IT support people that help the PhDs plug in their keyboards..., everything. It's a large organization.>>532421046it's tidally locked! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tidal_locking#Moons
>>532421046Its the canary in the space is fake coalmineIf it doesnt rotate, why would we rotate?
>>532421046It rotates at the same rate it orbits Earth. You were supposed to learn this in kindergarten.
No one cares about gay space nigger. Fuck off go back to the moon
>>532421107Why? It's magnetic field should not be split in half like this. It's not line one side of the moon is positive and the other side is negative. If it's rotating around the earth, it being locked in its position violates the law of conservative energy because it's exerting more force to spin the opposite direction and face us rather than spinning freely as it orbits. It doesn't make any sense.
>>532417520What do you think are the chances of surviving this DEI program?
>>532421107>shitty engineer(me)based engi desuwish space agencies were more common and accessible in other countries>help PhDs plug in their keyboardsim an academyfag in biology and I noticed a lot of my peers lack basic understanding in day to day technology, its crazy how widespread this is lol
This book is delightful btw. lots of juicy technical details
>>532421217I was busy learning about the holocaust.
>>532418971Thanks for answering Nasabro. I guessed it would be expensive. It'll make money long-term, far into the future, but that's a ways away. Why do they keep pushing the date back? I know things are complicated, it's a huge endeavor, but it's getting kind of comical. >We're going to Mars by 1982. I mean 2004. I mean 2011. I mean 2016. I mean 2024. I mean 2029. I mean 2034. At this rate, would it really be surprising if it's in the 2050's or later?
>>532417425This has distracted people from the real cosmology.
>>532421376...what?>>532421364https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Centers_of_gravity_in_non-uniform_fields#Parallel_fieldswrite up a short math proof debunking this, post it on the arXiv, and collect your Nobel prize I guess? I can't really debate you if you're just not understanding the undergrad-level math of it.>>532421217NASA's lesson for it recommends grades 1-6 heh
>>532419652>goy cattle like you believe any of this is real lol.>>532414151>>532414171>>532414259>>532414491>>532415043yup, the amount of shills on these threads speaks volumes

>>532417425>The Orion spacecraft is now within 90,000>Flat Earthers still existWhy are people so retarded?
>>532421478It's a pipedream anyways. Going to Mars would be like going to a tiny maximum security prison in a desert without oxygen. It would be a total miserable Hell.

>>532421616I would volunteer to go there because I hate living on earth.
>>532421616I dont really see the point of sending actual humans to a place that hasnt yet proven to be used to sustain even a small convoythe lack of atmosphere is pretty depressing as well
>>532421549Apparently the moon doesn't even have a magnetic field, making the tidal lock theory even more odd.
>>532421616https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WE618hgsj8k
>>532420514Have you ever stood anywhere near a fighter jet testing its afterburners? Hopefully not? What do you think being atop a Saturn V firing-off would do to a person? Think it's safe to say it'd fookin' rattle one's cage to the point any loose teeth are falling out and soon after your internals are scrambled. The vibration would knock you out and you'd probably be, at best, in a state of shock before the thing lifted two feet from the ground.
Guys... nobody is ever going to space after this stunt... global civilization will collapse within 2 years.
>>532421805why.... what part of the wiki page made you think it had to do with magnetic fields? that's not it at all. ?????>>532421575read Across the Airless Wilds if you want a good primer on the LRV.
>>532421762Buy a camper and park it in the Nevada desert, bring as much food and water as you can and never leave your camper until you starve to death.
>>532421848So… you’re agreeing with me they are not in there?
>>532421919What is locking it if not magnetism, how would it be an orbiting satellite without magnetism? If it's rolling around in curved space created by earths mass then why isn't it rolling?
>>532421968Very nice cat, would pet
anyone has any tips for beginner astronomy as a hobby?I thought about looking into getting a telescope but im wondering how much I need to invest in one to get a good experience out of it
>>532417425It must be weird to have a feel for how far away the buttocks/moon is
>>532422119>wondering how much I need to invest in one>tf>tp
>>532421958you do realize you could just go to KSC with 50x binoculars and watch them go across the crew access arm yourself for like a dragon mission yourself, right?>>532422044I'm really not sure if you're being stupid on purpose, sorry. already gave you the two wiki pages that explain it.>>532422119this vintage one is fantastic https://www.ebay.com/itm/358387544791astrophotography is fun
>>532417520Is there any chance you are in the Artemis 4 crew
>>532422119The technology has advanced to the point that the barrier of entry is extremely low. You can get a telescope that you program with your phone for a few hundred bucks.
>>532418429>BlokesAre you Aussie, Kiwi, or British by any chance?
>>532422201How about you explain it rather than relying on the wiki pages. Help me big brain anon. Why are the tides affecting the moon if it's not magnetic? What force could our ocean exert over such great distances?
>>532422201Coupd be, but it could be shenanigans, a magic tric. Why no live feed from inside the rocket showing the peope experience the forces. Would be cool to see right? Extra camera too heavy for the rocket? Are austronauts still today all freemasons?
way too many foids involved in the PAO and capcom and streams, its like a 80%:20% f:m ratio. sheesh.
Finally over 200,000 miles away from Earth.
>>532422313no just jewish >>532422232nah>>532422368gravity. are you one of those electric universe weirdos? shouldn't you be on /x/
>>532422368Anon, gravity.
>>532422533Okay, if it's gravity then its via the curvature of space. So the moon is rolling around a sphere of curved space around the earth so why doesn't it roll?
>>532422119Figure out what places nearby are suitable for observations first. It's very easy for local lighting to completely ruin your experience. A second thing to consider is whether you really are going to consistently make use of your purchases; it's easy to splurge on a telescope, use it once, and have it collect dust afterwards.Some suggest starting with binoculars instead to get into the habit of going out and about, and then combine it later with a telescope and possibly a camera and other accessories if you want to steer into photography.
>>532422527>YOU SEE THAT DOT ON (((NASA)))S WEBSITEOMG SO AMAZING AND TOTALLY REAL
America is only space-faring civilization of our times, and their last launch was in the middle of a war as if nothing was happening. Let that sink in for a few minutes.
>>532417425Thank god none of you schizos we’re around in the 60s
>>532422600are you implying if it was a cube it wouldn't rotate because it would be sitting flat on the... 'space'? I'm really struggling to understand your perspective.
>>532420821No problem Joo. Space is cool. I hope they make it back okay.
>>532422201damn thats a beauty anon, thanks>>532422234I was hoping for that, although some fields in science are still too niche and pricey for different reasons>>532422618I do indeed live in a city but I know a few spots nearby with less light pollutionIm actually also a sailfag and I took an interest in general astronomy from there, so ive already started with things like thatthanks for the tips anons
>>532422533>>532422590Pic related is "gravity". The gravity does not explain why the moon would break the law of energy conservation and exert energy to face the earth rather than spinning as it rolls round and round the earth in the mass induced gravity sphere that it is caught in.
>>532422750ITS BECAUSE OF (((GRAVITY))) ANON, YOU KNOW THAT MAGIC THING THAT NOBODY CAN MEASURE OR PROVE IN ANY WAY...
>>532417579>>532422621>>532422750of course jews are already spamming their mental diarrhea

>>532422918>>532422981prime minister of israel even called members of UN bunch of flat earthers when they mentioned his genocide of palestinians in gaza
>>532422918>>532422981You are the one who believes in kike lies you silly faggot
>>532422119Diameter is key. You've essentially got three 'knobs' you can control when you buy a telescope - your magnification power, your resolving power, and your light-gathering power. Magnification is just how big shit is going to appear and it just depends on focal lengths, the smaller the focal length of your eyepiece the more things will be magnified. Find something like a nice 40 or 20 mm eyepiece to start with. Resolving power is how sharp and detailed the image will appear. Resolving power improves linearly with the diameter of your primary mirror or lens (the big one). Light-gathering power is just the area of your primary mirror or lens and scales like diameter-squared.Bigger is better. A 8" Schmidt-Cassegrain is a solid option, but they're pricey new. If you're not ready to drop a grand on a telescope, get some really high end binoculars for about half that price - you'll still be able to get some really nice views of the Moon's surface and can make out the moons of Jupiter and the rings of Saturn on a good night.
>>532422981This is what the moon should do. Why doesnt it do this?
15 too
>>532423061pic rel you dumb kike
>>532422914Exactly. Its the magical words we tell in your ear to make you ignore what your eyes see
>>532423081suicide is what you should be doing kike
>>532422368Tidal forces aren't caused by the ocean, ocean tides are just a consequences of tidal forces. Gravitational force depends on mass and distance, and the difference in distance between one side of a planet or moon vs another can be non-negligible compared to the separation, which means your force on one side vs the other can vary.
>>532422914Kill yourself you fucking mongoloid retard. Canada should be rangebanned.

>>532423006Ignore all of those idiots.In fact you should probably not be here if you value your sanity and for the love of god don't engage with them.
>>532423259For questioning the explanation of how the moon rotates? Last thread you wanted me to kill kikes, this thread I'm a kike and you want me to kill myself. Atleast you are consistent anon.
>>532423342
>>532423358Even if they are shaped like eggs they would still spin at different rates. What mathematical model demonstrates the properties that the moon allegedly exhibits with the earth?
>>532423385Go fuck yourself kike scum.

>>532423478Nobody gives a shit about your drivel, kike faggot.
>>532423314Imperfection that equates to a perfect expression of one half of the moon as it spins round and round the internal walls of a sphere of gravity. I would like to see it modeled but I doubt such a thing exists.
>>532423448>What mathematical modelread this https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tidal_locking>>532423478if you sit in the middle of an ice rink, and throw a bowling ball, you get pushed backif you had a bunch of bowling balls, and you throw them really fast, you would get pushed back a lotrockets throw a bunch of atoms super duper fast, and they get pushed back from the throw
>>532423376You don't understand basic physics; it's a waste of effort trying to explain what visualisations of general relativity try to show.There are a lot of free resources out there. The only thing you need to do is humble yourself by accepting you actually need to start at the beginning to build up a proper understanding.
>>532422865Systems tend towards a rest state, and the moon eventually stopped spinning due to earths gravity, the earth also slowed down because of this
>>532423473I would say 2029, actually. A lot of the hardware for it is coming together. Even if we just do a quick down-n-up 3-day'er like the J-missions, that would require what... 1 Orion (which we now know works pretty well sans toilet) and 1 mk2 blue lander.

>>532423590That may be but basic physics show moving spinning planetary objects and the moon is an outlier in this equation and I'm not getting any good explanation as to why. No one is suggesting my understanding of gravity is incorrect. To quote Ken Wheeler, explanations are not reasons. I'm getting a lot of explanations but based on the text book definitions of these things these explanations are imperfect. Maybe I'm missing something and simply don't know enough. Maybe those that claim to know don't know as much as they think. If you truly understand something you should be able to explain it simply. I'm not seeing that here.

Look at the athiests seething their scientism religion is fake and gay. The demons inside you get so angry.
>>532424244Careful, the shill will use physics when it benefits him and ignore it when it doesn’t
it's so fucking obvious all the moon landing skeptics lately is just all bots

>>532424427>regardless of size, weight, or scalewhy are all your examples the same size tennis ball?>a mathematical calculation will not change thatat the scale of a tennis ball, or basketball, or bowling ball, the effect of the tennis ball's gravity on the water is negligibleif you run the gravity vs centripetal acceleration calc, you get basically the same result as ignoring gravity and just looking at centripetal accelerationif you run the gravity vs centripetal acceleration calc on EARTH, water sticks to the surface
>>532424193Robotic exploration has done more technologically impressive things than Apollo did since the 70s. It's just not as exciting without the human element.

>>532424193>>532424270Artemis II is a test fly-by that will lead to future missions where humans physically step onto the moon once again. They want to make sure they can pull off a slightly less ambitious mission first. It's been a long time.It's uninformed schizospeak to say that we "lost" the technology.The Apollo program was a one time effort with tons of funding during the space race to beat the Soviets. When it ended over 50 years ago, they shut everything down. The specialized assembly lines, custom machines, molds, jigs, tooling, etc. were scrapped/sold off. Thousands of companies that supplied parts either went out of business or switched to other work. The remaining rockets were flown, used in tests, or turned into museum pieces. The engineers who had first-hand experience eventually retired or passed away.We still have the blueprints, but it's like baking. Someone who's made the recipe dozens of times will almost always produce a better result than a first-timer following the exact same instructions.Rebuilding takes time because we're designing/testing/certifying new systems from the ground up, using today's materials/computers/manufacturing/safety standards. The goal is, eventually, a permanent lunar base. This is also an important stepping stone to visiting Mars.After we make it to Mars, it'll probably take a long time to get to other places. Ceres, Venus' upper atmosphere, Saturn's moon Titan, Jupiter's moon Callisto...after that, we're stuck in our solar system forever unless we figure out how to warp space-time.
>>532424590So you posted actual facts, for once? I'm glad.

>>532424590how is big bang theory incompatible with christiantiy?it seems pretty plausable to me that god did a big explosion, waited for a life supporting planet to arrive, sneezed some cells in a tide pool, waited a few billion years, then blessed some monkeys with divine souls

>>532424721No magics, just physics. You stupid little glownigger faggot.
>>532424422so, no evidence then?
>>532422914Holy shit. You fucking retarded leaf faggot.
>>532424721Then why does our current understanding of gravity break down on the quantum scale? Clearly they do>>532424724That’s pretty much what I believe yeah
>>532424758Do you think NASA would be better if it was fully privatized?
>>532424721>things don't change with scalei've written and deleted a few things trying to explain how stupid this isyou are genuinely like 54 iq, so I don't even know what I can use as an examplelike how elephant legs are proportionally thicker than rat legsor water surface tensionor how fluid in a big or small pipe is laminar vs turbulant flowor when dealing with big fat breadboards, you don't have to worry about simple wires becoming tiny inductors that induct magnetic flux on other components, but for microprocessors you do have to worry about thator the function x * x * x - 10 * xdifferent factors become more relevant at different scalesits just math, squares vs cubes vs linear things
>>532424724Speaking of the Big Bang, the heat death of the universe sounds kind of lame. I like the other theory that it will turn into a Big Crunch, and then the Big Bang will happen again.
>>532424557Hey that's not fair... you changed the mathematical calculation!I bet you're not even a shill!
>>532424724There is simply no proof for evolution. There are no dinosaur bones. There are no in gorrillions of in between skellettons found. And if you really think about it. An amoebe will turn in us given billions of years? Come one now God made us, his creation is beautiful, we are here with a reason. Evolution and space bullshit is litterally satan trying to humiliate God. Trying to make the creation(us) think, we are not Gods creation
>>532424954hell no. In fact, isaacman wants to increase the number of civil servants like tenfold (by moving contractors to CS roles).
>>532425057>There is simply no proof for evolutionits a very useful theorythere's been a couple times when biologists would use evolution to speculate that a species probably exist, and then later that species is actually discoveredif there's another biology theory that can do that, please present it to the class
>>532425057thanks for the input, rabbi
>>532424999Agreed, I seriously hope dark energy is bullshit and the cosmological constant is changing over time because a cyclical universe sounds comfy
>>532417425 im just not gonna watch, is allIts diversity hires doing nothing for two weeks. I can do that on earth
>>532425089Lol, you know that's not sustainable right? If you keep going like this your organization will collapse into a black hole and be fully privatized anyway.Is NASA annoyed by Musk? What do they think of him?
>>532424758there's another optionif you could store energy (fusion or antimatter) efficiently enough, you could accelerate at a constant 1.5 G and get pretty much anywhere in the galaxy in less than subjective 30 years(outside observers still watch you travel at a cucked slow ass lightspeed and it takes like 200 years thoughbeit)
>>532425089Good luck with that one, even the DoD can’t hire anyone easily

Believing in space is like believing in a magic trick. You’re like children in awe of a magician(nasa,spacex)I assume you also took the boosters and wore diapers on your faces?
>>532421046Do they actually leave those gay trails behind them or is that artistic effect?
>>532425315*actually i don't think fusion would work. you basically need to like 99% efficiently turn matter into energy, so you need anti-matterbut if you could have a tiny stable black hole, thats also worth a shot
>>532425057God doesn't exist, retard.
>>532425307depends person to person. not really a general vibe across the whole of agency for him (or even at my particular nasa center). >>532425327I wouldn't mind being moved to a CS role, getting on that GS- pay scale....
they can just send an empty craft and have it broadcast a livestreamno evidence of manned flightsoviets did similar in 1968 with zond 5
>>532425364Anon you are either arguing with a shill or lord forgive me a Protestant There’s no winning
>>532425366Believing in God is like still believing in Santa Claus when you're adult.
>>532425402no, they don't eject trails like thatits basically just a random frame of reference that turns a mostly circular orbit into a spiralyou could turn the path of the earth into a penis shape if you had a skitzophrenic enough frame of reference
>>532425442does it bother you that your trolling isn't interesting enough to get (you)s? post really stupid blurry jpegs like your other brethren in this thread. try harder.
>>532425419Why do you want to suck up taxpayers money?
>>532425442they already did that with artemis 1 in 2022why not bother putting humans in it for artemis 2
>>532425402nope lol. some bodies do have 'trails' in the sense that like the sun ejects particles, and the moon ejects sodium... etc
>>532424881No argument or nothing, you are the retard
>>532425515you voted for it. go complain to your congressman
>>532425526because humans can't survive going through the radiation beltthat's why all missions in the past have been in low earth orbit
>>532424671>>532424758Technically we could make it to Proxima Centauri within a few decades if we crack fusion rockets. Probably not gonna happen in this century or maybe even the next, but it's possible.
ok, time for sleepflerfers have been pathetic recently (more than usual), kind of disappointing. i was hoping for some new shit with Artemis 2
>>532425188 Definitely comfy for us. But just imagine if there were intelligent beings during the Crunch, aware that the universe was collapsing around them.
>>532425553What is it with Canada that makes you leafs such insufferable fucking retards? Is it the cold climate?
>>532425419Yeah GS scale is nice but the real prize is a pension. I would have gone private a few years ago if it weren’t for that>>532425515They were hiring
>>532424427Lmao if you spun earth at the same RPM as the tennis ball our oceans would fly off too
>>532425490>random frame of referenceBut it's an accurate depiction what's happening if the Sun is moving as well - which is what the official model says.That reality gets officially hidden because when people see what the implications really are their first reaction is always 'wtf? They would bump into each other'.
>believe our words and pictures, goy
>>532425642I recommend for you The Last Question and The Last Answer, great Asimov short stories. >>532425688flat_earth_tipping_dinosaur_extinction.jpg
>>532425617one last one:here's some homework for you to figure out the radiation belt thing1. take the intensity of radiation in belt where Artemis 2 goes through2. take time of travel through radation3. take your shielding thickness (ship hull, spacesuit)4. calculate radiation dose5. look at OSHA guidelines for acceptable radiation dosagethere's some youtubers who have already done this, but I won't bother linking them, because you will just call them jewish and fake
>>532425617You can mostly fly around them, its not that hard
>>532425588I didn't vote for any such thing.
>they where erased, goy. so you can keep believing our stories of fiction and pictures of imagination

>>532425947I do have a $2k Herman Miller in my office :)
>>532425773i would have to take my own readingsas should youshame on anyone believing their data after faking the moon landing
>>532425773>but I won't bother linking them, because you will just call them jewish and fake>>532425773Yeah, that's what I suspected. Thanks for saving us the time.
>>532425947My lord. Well at least you're not like the other guy telling me to vote harder.
>>532425922No, but I do work for the government. I just like space. They were hiring computer science grads so I took it, despite claiming 10 years ago I’d never do that
>>532426074I do like that my nasa PIV can get me into basically any cafeteria that needs a CAC. Mmmm.
>>532425825have you tried voting harder?
>>532425973Thanks for being a cool guy and answering questions anon. Guys like you are the ones actually responsible for every success organizations like nasa achieve and not the astronauts even though they get all the credit when they're just on a glorified bus ride
>>532426137You're a psychopath.
>>532425774if it's "not that hard" why has no space agency been doing it in the past?
>>532426189no problem. three things are extremely true at nasa, yes:- Peter principle- Pareto principle- Gall's law
>>532425973I’d have to go through paperwork and a “ergonomic fitting session” (basically sitting in chairs till I like them) to get one. I honestly refuse to waste taxpayer money on that lol>>532426112I can guess where you work, but I won’t lol, all I’m gonna say is that mil cafeterias usually suck
>>532426333Every single mission that has ever gone beyond low orbit has done it. There have been no such missions for a long time because there is no point
>>532426437heheheh.well, a mil cafeteria is better than a nonexistent NASA one because of budget cuts...
>>532426196I would assume the Artemis astronots are in orbit though (around the earth). The only other way to simulate Zero G that I know is Free Falling (like in a dive bombing airplane). But the Zero G experienced in an orbiting satellite IS in fact from Free-Falling.I'm going to guess they can get into and out of orbiting free-fall in a airplane.Obviously they weren't sat on top of the rocket everyone saw launch. And obviously they're not on their way to the moon.
>>532426333By this point in time Artemis 2 already has.
>>532426463that would only be the fake apollo moon landing missions, so noneno human has beaten laiaka's altitude thus far
>>532426539please address my point first >>532425442i don't think it's a manned flight
>>532426530They are putting out signals that can be triangulated to determine their origin if you really care that much to prove it.
>>532426463>Every single mission that has ever gone beyond low orbitThat's zero then. Got it!
>>532426494Just vote harder.
>>532426597So how is it livestreaming a spaceship full of people then?
>>532426562>>532426608Whatever makes you happy lmao
y'all are still responding to that German troll?
>>532426603Are you receiving these signals right now, anon?
>retards still on thislmao
>>532426671You could be. You want your proof? There's now. Or do you not want to know and would rather just bullshit based off of nothing?
>>532426639you can send a signal from a studio on earth and have it broadcast it from therefairly simple and no way to prove the signal isn't coming from the craft
>>532426718Ok then, prove it. Find the origin of that signal.
>>532426661how am i trolling?
>>532417520how do you feel about wasting money on space stuff while they could have gone to starving children in africa instead ?
>>532426680I'm off to bed in a min, it is becoming a bit much. the fact that the dutch spammer isn't banned yet kinda makes me sad. what a board this used to be, back in 2014
>>532426580High speed objects explode on impact due to the energy involved so the craters are always circular regardless of strike angle. Same reason every single moon crater is a circle
>>532425402Just an artistic effect.Wouldn't want to have people thinking the hole in Antarctica is a poop chute.
Anyway, why exactly did the toilet smell like burning? Seems like a pretty shit design if you ask me, is it a heater to make sure piss doesn’t freeze solid?
>>532426750okay hold on i'll be right back
>>532426765hoW aM I tRolLinG
>>532426822OK cool if you can't then your bullshit has less proof than Bigfoot and can be dismissed as nonsense.
Nu >>532426887>>532426887>>532426887
>>532426659It's becasue of people like you that people believe in stupid stories like Mr Hitter and the Holohoax or that the only possible model of human society is one which makes a small group of sociopaths rich enough until they are finally able to exterminate everybody else.All because you couldn't stop huffing your own fantasies about magical flying spaceboats. Be honest - you masturbate, don't you?(ask me how I can tell if you like)
>>532417425So why not pop down to the surface while they're at it? if you did it 6 times should be fairly easy, would be great for morale tooseems like a waste to just slingshot niggers around in space
>>532426868you can't even follow my pointi had to explain it to you how they can do it and now you're asking the impossible from me get fucked
>>532426945You don't have a point. You have "there's a dragon living in my garden that only I can see" nonsense.
>>532426987you can't follow
>>532426928I'm not sure why you are so desperate to convince yourself of this delusional stuff but I hope it makes things more bearable for you
>>532427036I followed just fine. It's bullshit and we are dismissing it as bullshit.
>>532426333Because the difficulty of space travel is a myth.It's not actually very impressive, what they're doing here.They take a rocket-powered vehicle and land it on a rock with a third the gravity that we have, without wind or weather to fuck with their approach, with very fine precise throttle control making it possible to land like a feather.It's no big deal. That's why nobody went since the original missions, which served the purpose of mogging the Soviets more than anything.The Artemis craft looks fancy and complicated, right? That's because it's crude.Observe Starship and how the original ship's engines were elaborately plumbed and very complicated, and how today's prototypes are sleek and simple while performing better and more reliably.Going to space is easy. Insulating against the vacuum is easy. Even insulating against radiation is a piece of cake when you have a powerful enough magnetic core.It's getting home without using rocket engines that's hard... but then again, commercial options are developing powered re-entry solutions so you don't need to carry a tonne of ablator.
>>532426716>You could be.And how are you receiving these signals, anon?What is the nature of your receiving device?
>>532427131no one has beaten laikas altitude not even the recent polaris dawn missionask yourself whyzero practical experience of man outside of low earth orbit or beyond the protective magnetic field
>>532427197If you can come back with proof of your claims then I'll listen. Until then you go into the crazy bin with the other nutters.
>>532427070lol - so I was correct.But you didn't ask me how I know.Very touching.
>>532426987why i'm saying has been done beforethe soviets did something like that in 1968, albeit with pre recorded material
>>532427279Proof or gtfo nutcase. Not going to entertain sub-Bigfoot nonsense.
>>532427316look up zond 5>>532425526 is saying they did it with artemis 1, too
>>532423448>Even if they are shaped like eggs they would still spin at different ratesEssentially it's because the moon (and all planets) are not completely rigidThe tidal forces cause the Moon to have a bulge facing both towards and away from the Earth, even if the Moon was spinning rapidly. If the Moon was not locked, this would cause the bulge to be constantly moving across the surface of the moon, just like ocean tides on earth. This would create internal friction and heat and drain the moon's energy if rotation, until its speed of rotation matches its orbital period
>>532427404>look upNope not going to do your work for you either.
>>532427429so if i copypaste the info you're not going to read it either, correct?
>>532427493You make the claim, you provide the proof and demonstrate its truth. Good luck faggot.
>>532427265My guy if you can come up with a singe compelling reason why I shouldn't believe it's true I'll acknowledge you as my intellectual superior. Your personal incredulity isn't evidence
>>532427528https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zond_5Cosmonaut crew communications test and hoaxThe Zond 5 caused a scare in the United States when on 19 September 1968, the voices of cosmonauts Valery Bykovsky, Vitaly Sevastyanov and Pavel Popovich were transmitted from the spacecraft and intercepted by Jodrell Bank Observatory and the CIA.[37][38] The cosmonauts were apparently reading out telemetry data and computer readings, and even discussing making an attempt to land. At the height of the Cold War, there was a real concern that the Soviets might actually beat NASA to the Moon. Apollo 17 astronaut Eugene Cernan remarked that the incident had "shocked the hell out of us."
>>532427620And this proves what?
>>532427657like i said, you don't followno wonder you believe the fake shit they feed you
