A few weeks ago, Artemis III was cancelled. Now, it is the Moon Station Gateway's turn. I love it how the American space program is falling apart to repurpose those dollars to Trump's billionaire friends.
There's no stopping China becoming the first country on the moon now.
BTW, the Gateway is cancelled, but the Artemis trips to the Gateway aren't. Also, the Gateway is already built, they just needed to launch it.
>>
What's up with this China propaganda lately? Must be the last place the masonic jews and their cattle can go to feel some sense of control now that most people in the West know. That would explain the money trails I keep seeing, as well. And why America is being sold out to everything Asian.

China has nothing to do bro. This is Elon Musk's boy who chose that America couldn't succeed because Musk has too many economical interests with China

I would like to see humans walk on the moon again in my lifetime. when my parents were kids, they all got to see humans walk on the moon on tv, the whole world stopped to watch it. wonder if it will be that big of an event the second time.

NASA doesnt do anything but waste money hiring random women and blacks. give the money to SpaceX who might actually do something
>>
>>16934856
So this is never happening?
Iirc the original plan was to send some satellites to moon to get internet and gps(lunar position system?), then a station and hundreds of rovers, then astronauts and then a moon base
>>
>>16934856
At least some of the Gateway hardware will be repurposed and used for the surface base.

Also, Artemis III isn't canceled. Rather, the first landing was shifted from III to IV, and III was given a different objective.
It's probably better to have the in-between mission which tests the interactions between the lander and Orion, than to rush the landing and have something go horribly wrong
>>
gateway is pointless it's literally just going to be the ISS again but even more expensive, been there done that. The future is making an international moon station, probably NASA will invite the Russians again once this war stops to help pay for it, and the station will likely be the only one on the moon for the next 60 years

Man, I really want Artemis to succeed but it’s really not looking good.

Hopefully Jeff bezo can save us

Well, Artemis II is currently still scheduled to launch in one week. Which should restore some hope and optimism if it really happens
>>
>>16935027
ummm no? current artemis iv is a whole new different mission than old artemis iii that isaacman cooked up in like 2 days.
also, how do you repurpose a space station into a moonbase? that's like repurposing my car into a plasma tv

Can't cancel something built by somebody else.

Gateway is still happening, only now it's on the surface of the moon

>It’s interesting to read critiques of the Moon base proposal, which seems like the smart path forward and could fit within NASA’s budget. The gist I’m hearing from critics is that this Isaacman priority is happy talk, will all fade away, and not happen. Then you realize these were the same people who:

>Said Isaacman wouldn’t be renominated
>Said he would was a political amateur
>Said he couldn’t build a coalition to cancel EUS and put SLS on a path toward sunset
>Said he was an Elon puppet (who has subsequently prioritized getting Blue Origin moving on HLS due to Starship delays)
>Said he would never get Congress, which called it a “national priority,” to go along with canceling Gateway
>Said he would never actually cancel Gateway

>These people are now saying Isaacman can’t get NASA and its contractors to execute on a plan that has administration and Congressional support. The reality is, from a policy and political standpoint, NASA is in a better place now than it has been for years. If the Moon Base fails that’s on NASA and private industry, not stupid policy. And believe me, I’ve seen a lot of terrible, pie-in-the-sky space policy over the decades. #JourneyToMars

>It’s a new era. I’m not sure everyone realizes this, but Isaacman and his team have eyes wide open to a lot of the major challenges facing NASA and they’re trying to fix them. They’re working long days. Weekends. It’s inspiring to see our government work like this, especially in an era when so much seems broken. I don’t know what will happen. Maybe this Moon base all will fade away. But I do know that NASA’s chance for success in the next couple of decades is a lot higher today than it has been for a long, long time. What we were doing was decidedly not working. This has a chance.

NASA are experts at cancelling stuff. They have already cancelled half of the Apollo program, and half of the ISS as well.

Nah, catch an astroid and manually mine it with a "space jackhammer" like a. If it is China a hammer and chisel, for you know.

An an historic event.

>>16935661
>like a
Like a man. Stoned. Another moon walk isnt new. Honestly, I have higher hopes in Venus than Mars, as people can barely support an orbital station, let alone construction of building a city on another planet.

Because later when we can, the atomosphere and other properties may have more fruit to bear.

Every one if the planets results in the same "you now live in a super wide sewer forever". If thats the case then building inward seems equal, away from surface temperatures.
>Mercury
>-300°-800°F

Go live on a planet where you can only open the hatch for a "season"...working "idk"..."science", totally not heinous experiments on the most expensive venture in the planet's history.

I have a theory to what happens to people who go away for long periods of time, from Earth I mean. Rapid divergence Genetically. Void chaos will literally be burned into them. Static.

All the good stuff about Earth comes from its a whole Ecosystem done "just right". Cant say its "bad/wrong/whatever" as its big, permanent, change in trjectory.
>>
>ABOLISH SUFFERING
Exact same thing as this. This is what he is suggesting to be done to you, just on a smaller scope in a field thats actively being proven to be not the foundational understanding of Biology.

Thats "molecules are the wrong ones, use these ones instead" cope to "feel live" or something, fuck if I know.

Indian-tier fraudster logic.

>We are gonna build a space station by the moon
>Ok, we are 15 years behind schedule and over our budget by 100% and still nowhere close but...
>That's because instead of a space station we are building a base on the moon with monthly resupply trips
>And sending men to Mars on a nuclear rocket in 2 years!

SpaceX is years behind with Saarship and it still hasn't completed an orbit.

>>16934955
No one will watch it live. Most commentary will be heavily politicized. Most of the views of the actual footage will be influencers reacting to the footage instead of the source footage.

No, it's just what happens when your entire space program is at the whim of whichever group of retards is in charge every other year.

That's exactly why NASA is in this fucking mess...a NASA stooge who later went to work for SpaceX gave Elon the contract for a Human Landing System. That system is now disrupting flights over the Caribbean as it falls to Earth in teeny tiny flaming pieces and the half-wits who built it clap and whoop like seals.

Artemis literally had to be fully restructured because Starship was such an abject failure.
