The Orion spacecraft is now within 83,000 miles of the Moon, with less than 1 and a half 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.

greenscreen centralyeah is space travel attractive or boringit's boringadd hot looking whores to space travel
>>532436471i like the idea of having this general anon but, like i said before and as happened, we both know how its going to play out.......falt erather post incoming in 5....4....3....
how did they get past the firmament?
>>532436471Biggest laundry list of faults and issues since apollo 13DEI strikes again
>>532437769its the things first manned flight so its no surprise they're seeing a few problems with systems that having been flight tested before. the shitter is definitely misbehaving though.
>>532437978I mean when you have shit like MICROSOFT BASED OPERATION SYSTEMS on the computer crashing mid mission, that isn't really a "well we are just testing the tech, tee hee" levels of incompetence
>>532438117yeah that was funny too. such a common occurrence.
>>532436872I've seen more convincing space scenes in star trek
>>532436471Can they jerk off in space or no?Someone said that the penis blood pump is not working in 0 gravity.You could rub one out behind the moon...
>>532436471Toilet Status?
>>532438680ive seen a guy going on about that a few times and its bullshit. probably just his idea of a fun troll
>>532436682The toilet is clogged and there is a horrible smell. That's not boring. It's funny.
>>532438493What exactly about the scene makes you think it’s fake?
>>532438680Your dick would freeze off in space.
>tech from 50 years in the future>"We're not landing because... BECAUSE WE JUST CAN'T OKAY?"
>>532438963probably because his base reference is startrek lol
>>532438713UH OH STINKY>JUST IN: The Artemis II toilet’s vent froze over, potentially causing the terrible smell astronauts reported.>NASA is tilting the space ship toward the Sun to try & thaw it out.
>>532437978Meanwhile these fucking nerds were supposedly able to put a man on the moon using vacuum tubes and abacuses. So either the original landings were fake or western iq has fallen by at least 15 points across the board. (SPOILER: both are true).
>>532439550This is why they needed the test, now they know to heat the poopchute on the Mark 2. Honestly I want to see a SpaceX manned moon mission because the Starship would be way roomier and more interesting to see in action
>>532439619wasn't fake. absolutely no reason why it would need to be faked since going to the moon isn't impossible.
>>532439773SpaceX is working with NASA on Artemis. They'll be travelling in the same cuckpod and meeting with Starship which will take them down to the surface. Then travelling in the cuckpod back to Earth.
>>532439619I will never understand "moon landing is fake". There is irrefutable evidence of the apollo 15 landing site existing in the form of the retroreflectors, and simply sticking 2 dickheads in the lander is infinitely easier than the bullshit it would take to fake it and land an unmanned lander.
>>532436471that landmass is Australia, why is it mirrored? did the jeetcode copy pasta fail?
>>532439028>We're not landing because... Because Elon literally scammed the American government kek
>>532440009>in the form of the retroreflectorsLight bounces off the Moon even without reflectors, you dumb nigger.
>>532439773I believe that is the plan.Despite being a moon rocket they.plan to have shartemis out orion in Earth orbit then link up with starship to head out to the moon.for thr landing mission.>NASA is proposing SpaceX Starship now handles translunar injection (TLI) propulsion and the full landing role, while SLS/Orion is limited to LEO only.>A pre-launched, refueled Starship HLS would meet Orion in lunar orbit, crew transfers, Starship descends to the surface (South Pole region), spends ~6–7 days on the Moon, ascends, redocks, and Orion returns the crew to Earth.
>>532440358Ahhhh, that's how. Complete rejection of spectral science. Thank you 50iq anon for answering my question.
>>532439550Wait... You're telling me they CAN'T poo in the loo?
>>532440358it does, but as always when this point is mentioned, the returns from the retros are up to 100x stronger while also being differentiated by their wavelength.
>>532439028They need to create the parts to do it.
>>532440566conspiritard claims are so fucking stupid it hurts my brain
WHEREWEGOONE
>>532439773redesign the exit valve, might need heat, yes. if that thing freezes in the wrong place, it might not close before the heat of rentry damages it to stick open, risking the entire capsule dying to a flaming toilet.>>532442386We go APW Toilet Inserts, to reduce splash, give the John a lovely look, and make the room smell clean.
>>532442445i wonder if its working a bit like the water cooling systems on the EVA suits did to expel heat. they flowed out a small amount of heated water onto a kind of metal grid, where it froze and then sublimated away so it didn't get completely blocked with the ice. if the outlet wasn't working properly so that the ice can clear fast enough, it could block like this.
Odds Victor G-Lover reads from Genesis on livestream?
>>532436872Where is the black man? Did he get flushed down the toilet?
>>532440407>NASA is proposing SpaceX Starship now handles translunar injection (TLI) propulsion and the full landing role, while SLS/Orion is limited to LEO only.The problem is that Starship needs more delta-v to get back to Earth orbit from the lunar surface. That would be impossible without refueling in lunar orbit.
>>532445436if starship uses its fuel to get to the moon and land/liftoff, Orion would have plenty of ability for TEI, assuming it still has the service module attached.
>>532436746It's been said already but there isn't enough meat
>>532446388but starship is ugly and blue moon looks a lot better
>>532448972its a nice lander i agree, though i still can't get behind these very tall configurations they like these days. give me a nice wide LM anyday
>>532449798yeah I agree but HLS is even TAAAAALLERbut I'll take whoever can do it first, at this point
>>532449909its a big guy no doubt. and yeah, im looking forward to seeing how they all make out in practice. we've already seen a few of these small but tall landers fall over but i expect its just a matter of perfecting the systems. if anyone can land tall things on the ground its spacex
>>532437672The moon is within the firmament
It's happening!
>>532451755don't be lewd that's my sister
>>532440009>There is irrefutable evidence of the apollo 15 landing site existing in the form of the retroreflectorsThere is irrefutable evidence of the existence of retroreflectors, not about the moon landing hoax, but I bet you're pretty proud of a nigger, a foid and a kike being the center of attention for the new hoax
too many vaginas on the comms and public affairs talking about their feelingsi miss the apollo public affairs guy and capcoms.
>>532436471What's the point of this mission?
>>532452470to fly around the moon for the first time in 54 years testing new hardware, in preparation for more ambitious future missions
>>532449798That one group of retards couldn't put a baby lander on the moon without it tipping over, japan as well.
>>532452470Make sure it's safe for manned missions unlike the shartliner.
>>532452459Same, I just want telemetry and numbers not poetry.
>>532440546>>532440566>spectral scienceFirst "climate science", not this. Shieet.Nigga can't catch a break.
>>532441805Yes, trust the science cosensus, goy. I mean guy.
>>532452623>in preparation for more ambitious future missionsThey haven't even designed the lander and they never will. This was a theatrical mission with no purpose other than a last minute attempt to outclass the Chinese who actually will land on the moon in about 4 years.
>>532452459yeah, its always women talking. they always sound whiny and on the verge of being bitchy.>>532452628indeed
>toilet issue resolved peepeepoopooposters on suicide watch
>>532452970the piss spray live feed yesterday was pure kino>*Kskshhs* Houston integrity we are seeing a blizzard, a bit of a flurry, over
>>532452970I mean it's great that the toilet has been the biggest problem considering everything else that HAS to work.
>>532451417Yeah, its the other firmament im talking about, the one on the way back
>>532452470To prove women and niggers and jews can almost do what white man did 100 years ago

cinema
>>532455310
>>532438680If you can jack off while hanging upside down, you are strong enough to jack off in space
>>532438680Has there been a recorded case of astronauts jizzing in zero g? Imagine being the first to do so
>>532439028>>"We're not landing because... BECAUSE WE JUST CAN'T OKAY?"Land in what?Anon, land in what? There's no lander built right now, they just don't have one. They paid two companies to make landers a couple of years ago but they're not finished.If you can name those two companies without looking it up first then I won't call you a faggoty fuckwit.
>>532452470HAHA APRIL FOOLS GUESS WHAT we woke up on march 31st to be told there was going to be a moon mission, out of fucking nowhere
>>532456180its a secret research program that no one talks about in public.
>>532452470also keep in mind last year 2 astronauts were literally stranded in space and needed 3rd party space flight companies to rescue them but yeah we’re totally testing a moon mission tee hee
>>532436471>Look we prepared a Government-Approved General for you plebsYou niggers will never be true /pol/ https://youtu.be/8lEr8kb9u84
>>532455310They are WAY out there now.
>>532439619A generation of top men fresh out of WW2 then jet aviation in the Korean war were given decades to do nothing but get to the moon. They succeeded but over many many iterative missions gradually developing not just the tech but the know how and expertise to get there.The tech is better now but because it’s been 50 years since anyone’s done a moon mission the know how, will, expertise, and tested/trusted equipment died with them. Therefore, Artemis has to take a couple years to get rolling as a new generation has to retread in the original NASA’s footsteps, with a lot of side objectives besides just the moon landing like relatively cheap reusable rockets. All their equipment is brand new and untested, so overall their pace is literally just 1. Test the rocket 2. Test the rocket and systems by flying to the moon and back 3. Test the lander 4. Land; getting men on the surface of the moon by Artemis 4 as opposed to Apollo’s 11 (plus Gemini and Mercury missions).
>>532457228>out of fucking nowhereSit down and shut your mouth faggot, some of us have been waiting for this shit for YEARS. I watched Artemis 1, I watched them stack the SLS for Artemis 2, I watched them test and roll back and try again, I've been WAITING for this shit."out of nowhere" yeah sure if you're stupid, like some kind of gormless mouthbreathing african-tier retard. Fucker, pay attention better
>>532456180Imagine being on the ISS, Skylab, or Mir for months.Obviously the toilet became a jack off machine
>>532436471So Canada has everything we need.The moon doesn’t have fossil fuels either.This is so fucking interesting. I really fucking wanna go to the moon tho. Not Canada.
>>532457561I bet the mir guys did.
>>532457512lmao this nigger hey budshow me anything relating to this in the 14 days prior to the launch fucking retard
>>532457314You stupid, ugly stinking nigger. The reason they were on the station at all was because they flew there on a 3rd party vehicle, Boeing's Starliner, which turned out to be a buggy leaky piece of shit that was deemed unsafe to fly home on.
>>532457868you stupid fucking faggot retard my point is that the national space agency couldn’t figure out how to rescue their own astronauts for what, 3 months?
>>532457621But I mean we are going to just be sending robots to do the jobs might as well go to Canada.Need a full economic breakdown and time break down and long term break down.Regardless long term is imperative that we control the moon.
>>532436471Interesting video talking about the new Artemis timeline, it seems fucking insane but also a lot more tangible than anything I've seen NASA doing. The budget is tight but they're trimming the fat on all departments except exploration which is now higher, so at least they seem serious about it.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zNv7o8wEJdc
>>532438493shut up muslim shitskin, no one asked you
>>532457969Fuck off ignorant clown, this thread ain't for you.
>>532457864>show me anything relating to this in the 14 days prior to the launchHere's the heat shield from Artemis 1, which was 3 years ago, you pimply dicknosed hairy cunt. (you) aren't paying attention so you don't know what's happening, because you lack object permanence like an infant.People who give a fuck have been paying attention this entire time, hell I was paying attention when Orion was still part of the Constellation program, under GEORGE W BUSH. That's how long I'VE been watching, you little turd.>>532457969There was no "figuring out" how to bring them back, they came back on schedule and the crew who'd been planned to ride that ship were bumped to the next one. You read headlines and actually believe them you simpleton, ALL of the media are propaganda and GAY.You are on /pol/ and haven't learned that fuck you
>>532436471MAGICALLY almost no cloud over the usa. Wow. It have to be real.
>toilet won't flush right, fixed in an hour>headline: "DARING MID-FLIGHT PATCH JOB IN SPACE! CREW BARELY SURVIVE!">temperature readings half a degree above normal, crew says it's just a computer error>headline: "STRANDED SPACE-CREW COOKED ALIVE? MISSION CONTROL SAYS IT IS TECHNICALLY POSSIBLE!">astronaut doesn't like the granola bar in his lunch ration >headline: "STARVING ASTRONAUTS RUNNING OUT OF TIME, MAY NOT SURVIVE RETURN TO EARTH!"Reminder that you can never, EVER hate the media enough.
>>532457868>Starliner, which turned out to be a buggy leaky piece of shit that was deemed unsafe to fly home onturned out it splashed down perfectly; if they had gone they would have been fine, but 97% safe wasn't good enough when they could simply wait for the next 99% safe bus ride so to speak.
>>532436471artemis more like swimming-in-piss
>>532439911having seen all the engine failures on starship, its a disaster in waiting if they use raptor 3 lmao
>>532458624After multiple RCS cluster failures I'd be reticent to get back on board that fucking thing too.
>>532458624boeing is retarded and unsafe, they did the right thing not going on that abomnation
>>532458613The toilet drama is the best part of this mission, kek.Are they not rotating the ship to keep the temperature evenly distributed?
>>532459330same>>532459421true
>>532436471I can see my house!
>>532444458yeah that's why the toilet got clogged
>>532459306You want things to fail in tests, you see a lot of them with SpaceX because they actually test and iterate a lot. Falcon rockets also failed a lot, especially the landing boosters, and that data is what made them now reliable.Artemis is over-complicated with all the different vehicles and docking maneuvers because they're stuck with the Senate Launch System, but hopefully they streamline it when Starship is ready and they can just use the whole integrated thing which would be a lot of cheaper and reliable.
>>532459804 pretty sure orion's passive coast attitude is "engine facing the sun", unlike apollo's side-on bbq roll.
>>532438933why does this happen on every manned space mission now?
>>532459804>>532460673Yeah Orion is stationary in the livestream, no roll at present.
some wobble right now, I wonder if they're on the exercise flywheel
>>532436471>artemis 2>somebody clogged the toilet with frozen shitlmao
>>532461215yeah, ive seen that a couple times now. its funny.
>>532436471https://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."

give me a big rocket powerful enough to send a a tiny satellite around the moon and i will replicate the artemis mission
>>532436746Looks like all the exact same menu stuff you could get on the iSS, it basically just needs to be storable and probably made to reduce crumbs.>>532454334>Seething at a happy woman doing something you'll never be smart or competent enough to achieve because she did something you arbitrarily decided is a bad woman thing only women doAnd the rest is typical racism and flerf nonsense, because all the world's experts can definitely be defeated by an artist depiction of a snowglobe like >>532461582
>>532462621>Seethingrelax, it's a joke.
>>532462621>Seething at a happy woman doing somethingRelax guy, it's funny.Victor Glover is a consummate professional btw, he shuts down reporter racebaiting garbage and doesn't afraid of anything.
Fake. They don't even provide a way to prove the astronauts are actually in the craft. This is just another unmanned flyby with the astronauts acting on earth/leo
>>532462621Look retard half the fuckin planet isn't even there>>532436607its clearly flat. I'm sorry you're blind
>>532463042
>>532444458It's a Hollywood movie. He died first.
>>532436872They do these by flying high up with a jet and then descending in the right speed and angle.
>>532464364and its lasts about 45 seconds each time.
>>532462206If I had that rocket I'd think of somethink cooler.
Not falling for that again
>>532436471Any videos of the earth yet or just still photos?
Funny how no one heard about this moon mission until it happened. Its a nigger and a woman. They all look awkward as fuck like theyre worried. They literally wear prison orange suits with mason apron patterns. Sorry if you fell for global warming and covid and Trump and brexit and whatever else... now is your chance to realize you're being bullshitted again. Also fuck you freemason cia niggers in this thread, im sending you spiritual damage.

>>532464838its probably just that the gey media would rather endlessly whine about evil orange man than look at something uplifting for a change.
>>532464926they sure dont need anymore of those
>>532465281>water towers can fly>yes!
>>532464364What about some kind of rail track which descends under the ground and loops around without needing to "reset".
>>532464926Stress test?>>532463306kek
>>532450400this will be totally different than earth. no atmospheric drag, all your landing has to be fuel burn or impact mitigation. I have multiple ideas, but nobody is sending me checks, and I'm pretending I work for a living.If you're gonna shit on my WH carpet, you sure as fuck can afford buying me a '25 toyota corolla.
>>532466077Yeah, 2021 or 2022 I think. They overpressurized the big orange tank until it burst just to see what the limits were.
>>532465217>probablyit's 100%. Even the fucking NASA guys are like>hey, this shit is weirdly divided, we're going to land on the moon, maybe you can think this is worth some momentary relaxation about your nigger shit?But they won't, the missing gonads don't rest. Ghost gonads prodding them on...
>>532466925just makes it easier and more of a pure physics problem instead of all that chaotic fluid dynamics stuff. its going to be great
>>532465766Yeah true, I guess theres smart ways of simulating it.
