newfag here, what is /sfg/s stance on orion, sls and artemis program in general?
>>16939455it's officially over
>>16939457The answer to all three could be - bad, but it works and right now there's no better alternative.
>>16939464Yup. The instant (((shareholders))) get a say, it's no longer anything but 2000% for profit.
>>16939457An enormous waste of money and time on broken underpowered shitBut it's OUR broken underpowered shit
>>16939457gay, expensive
>>16939464>>16939476elon has majority voting rights, so the company wont be beholden to investors
>>16939491Until he needs cash money. It's unironically ogre.
>>16939491Even worse, it will be beholden to elon
>>16939455>That would put them at 3x the value of Verizon, AT&T, and T-Mobile combined. Heck, you can add Cox, Comcast, and all the other US internet providers and it's still well over double.
>>16939455Is he betting that other tech giants will want to have their data centers outside any country's jurisdiction?
>>16939520>local governments restricting new data center construction>iran bombing data centers in the middle east>energy prices skyrocketing due to the warorbital data centers are making better economic sense by the day
>>16939457terrible pork project slop but i'm still happy to see this launch regardless, with isaacman taking over, the entire artemis program itself finally has the necessary clarity and focus on the goal of long-term lunar habitation, fuck gateway, fuck SLS, SLS's weak ass pathetic TLI payload is the entire reason why artemis has been an overcomplicated mess up until this point, replacing it is paramount
>>16939455this shit gonna crash immediately lol

>>16939455>manned chemical rockets reaching SaturnImagine trusting anything Spacex says after seeing that lmao
>>16939625>mannedobviously not manned
>>16939637shits so far in the future that we might be people uploaded into robot bodies by the time we can colonize saturn's moons. so both manned and unmanned at the same time.
>>16939637You want me or another anon to dig up the Spacex pics of their hardware in the Saturn system with the windows all lit up? Robot probes don’t have lit windows, manned missions do.
>>16939653Colonizing Neptune's moon in 3 decades, trust the plan.

>>16939739Have they tested Mating Press in 1G of gravity generated by centrifugal force in a rotating habitat?
>>16939739we already know that longterm living in microgravity destroys human bodies. The more important question is what are the effects of low gravity (moon or mars).
https://x.com/fccfilingalerts/status/2039428750736085200> $AMZN Amazon - FCC Docket SAT-MOD-20211207-00186>SpaceX, through David Goldman, alleges that Amazon is violating its approved orbital debris mitigation plan and license conditions. Amazon is accused of dispensing satellites at higher altitudes (50-90 km) than authorized, without adequate coordination or information sharing. SpaceX claims this negligence increases collision risk and that Amazon and Arianespace can adjust launch plans to comply with authorization. The letter asserts Amazon represented its satellites would be inserted near 400 km but launched into orbits above 450 km without approval. SpaceX states Amazon's actions altered the collision risk profile and imposed risk on other operators, and asks Amazon to comply with its authorization to prevent irreparable harm.
You know the fact the launch is on April 1st means it's fake right?They're rubbing it in your face. The limited images of the moon they decide to release aren't going to be real, they might stream about an hour of their supposed orbit
>>16939774>spacex is now starting lawfarePractising for that ipo, I see
>>16939788nothing new. SpaceX sues other companies all the time.
>>16939788Turnaround is fair play. Bezos has litigated against them.
Imagine if SLS launches once a year, launching one $billion lunar module (using 1/25 of NASA's budget) to the moon annually. Then we can use Starship for other things.
>>16939736
>>16939788unfortunately, lawfare is normalized now. you either participate in it or you die.
where the puzzle at
World's most secretive plane has arrived in FL to support the launch of Artemis II. Typically used to gather sensitive data on stealth aircrafts, it is unsure what it will be doing today.
>>16939835It looks like it's there to sniff out any money not already sent to Israel.
>>16939742go into your local woods and climb a tree anon, the natural scenery and smells will make you feel in touch with the moment, and remind you of the beauty of earth, and climbing the tree will be a tactile, physical distraction, activate your survival instincts by forcing you to great heights and making you scared of slipping and falling on the way up, and also be really fun because being up high in a tree is fun.

The Female CCU provides a first superhydrophobic-superhydrophilic solution for urine collection aboard spacecraftin a collapsible device. Dozens of ISS flight tests performed on the MWA in Node 2 with ersatz liquid and dozens ofcrew use tests performed in the Node 3 Stall with actual urine establish expectations satisfying the device requirementsand achieving TRL 8. For female crew, the device performs like terrestrial female urinating devices20, but forapplication in space the passive role of gravity is replaced by the combined passive roles of surface tension, flexiblecontainer geometry, and superhydrophobic and superhydrophilic wetting conditions. In short, urine is propelled awayfrom the body by a superhydrophobic expansion and captured and wicked away by a tapering superhydrophilic bagliner and tapering vane structure. Pressure build-up within the bag is prevented by a superhydrophobic screen thatallows displaced air to escape while reflecting spurious droplets, jets, and rivulets back into the bag. Adequate maleuse of the device is possible by removing the superhydrophobic expansion.The compact lightweight handheld devices may be employed as contingency or complimentary equipment. TheCCU was proposed initially as a contingency device with a 6 day/60 use profile. However, because of the successfulproof testing reported herein, the CCU may be adopted to backfill needs related to moon missions and beyond. Thefemale CCU qualification tests aboard ISS are complete. Flight certified units are now in production for future use ascontingency devices aboard ISS and Orion. The successful application of the superhydrophobic (‘up’) andsuperhydrophilic (‘down’) approach to the CCU illuminates a path to apply the wealth of observations reported in theterrestrial microfluidics literature to the design of robust, passive, reliable solutions to aqueous fluids management inspace.

>>16942544source?
>>16942545apollo 15
alright burgers, i'm going to sleepy eepy, wake me up if it explodes.
>>16942539You poop twice a day?
im on opiates and havent shit in two weeks. send me up there im ready.
>>16942547Table 2 in SP-368 Biomedical Results of Apollo disagrees with you. they all pooped.
i couldnt be an astronauti love shitting
>>16942556im certain i read or heard it somewhere
>it was reveal to me on the toilet
cygnus can be used as a temporary space station like vast's haven-1, right? how much does a cygnus cost?
>>16942564That will be 14 billion dollars
>>16942559are you thinking of Apollo 10 where rogue poops got loose and started floating around the module
>W-what do they eat?Boomer moment.
>>16942565Google says the first 12 were for $1.9 billion
>>16942559they all pooped!

now a cabin mic loudness issue.what a shitshow!
This is what test flights are for, people!

>/sfg/ asks a question
wait I thought you were supposed to blow up like 10 rockets for them to get to orbit, why was nasa able to get one to orbit on the second time without it blowing up???? Uh.... Elonsisters.....?
2 MINUTES TILL CAMERA ROLL
>the white flight control room
President Trump just mentioned Artemis mission and crew.
>>16942624Because NASA is not innovating.
>>16942624How can NASA go to the Moon without a million orbital AI servers and chip fabs? Such a thing is possible?
>NASA sending human to the Moon again>SpaceXhitty still testing some trash tank.
>>16942639we need shuttles back
>>16942647giga seethe
go outside look upsee the moonrealize that people are going there
>>16942647You realize that the trash tank became part of the Artemis plan, and when Elon fails to get his saarshit to orbit Artemis III won't even be able to happen lmaothe entire program is going to be fucked unless blue origin can somehow save it
>>16942649If you're wondering what Elon is tweeting on this historic day in space history, nothing. Not a good work NASA or glad to be a partner with HLS. He's off giving thumbs up to complaints about CA Gov. Newsome.
>>16942624because they took 20 years to do so
>>16942664turns out building shit that works takes time and you can't speedrun your way to mars like little rocket boy Elon is failing to do
>7 ppl on the iss>3 on the css>4 on Orion14
>>16942664Oh no!Grok, any comment?SpaceX began developing concepts for a super heavy-lift reusable launch vehicle as early as 2005, with different names throughout the years. Booya!
>>16942661he's so jealous that NASA actually got shit to work with years of hard work, testing, designing and engineering it properly not hiring a bunch of visajeets to build shit that blows up over and over again.
>>16942624they are using 40 years old tech, the last launch was like 3 years ago and this launch cost like 2bil
>>16942671concepts? lol
>My fellow citizens, I address you tonight to inform you of an ongoing mission against extraterrestrial enemy combatants upon the surface of the Moon.>For the past twelve hours, our Lunar Defense Corps has been engaged in direct conflict with an organized and technologically advanced hostile force. These entities did not come in peace. They struck first — disabling our research outposts, severing communications, and attempting to seize the Helion-3 reactors that power our orbital infrastructure.>Our response has been swift, disciplined, and unwavering. As I speak, brave men and women — pilots, engineers, exo‑marines — are fighting in the harshest environment humanity has ever known. They are outnumbered. They are outgunned. But they are not outmatched.>We have trained for this. We have prepared for this. And we will not yield one inch of lunar soil to an enemy that threatens our people, our sovereignty, and our future among the stars.>I will not pretend this is a small conflict. It is not. This is the first time in our history that humanity has faced a hostile force beyond our world. But it is also the first time we have stood united — every colony, every city, every citizen — in defense of something larger than any one nation.>Tonight, I ask you to hold fast. To stay calm. To trust in the courage of those who stand between us and annihilation. They know what is at stake. And they will not falter.
>>16942674and it succeeded. Turns out getting shit to space is hard and it takes a lot of time and patience to actually succeed. Why not ask yourself why Elon keeps failing?NASA is still retarded though because they tied the fate of this program to SpaceX / Blue Origin and if Elon continues to fail so will Artemis since the entire plan hinges on Saarshit HLS.
>>16942674You're going to the Moon the wrong way! Whaaaagh!Such a bad day for you.
Elon hasn't posted in hours, how do you know he's not asleep or some shit
I demand cabin views NOW
Eric Berger@SciGuySpaceEpic launch of SLS and Orion. So much better in the daytime to observe. Congratulations to NASA and everyone involved. Y’all made us proud. I denounce Musk and all his evil works. I ask Izzy to forgive my sin of apostasy.
>>16942681He’s seething
>>16942681Elon's "asleep"He's in a Fentanyl Fold right now
>>16942681i'm unironically worried, maybe he offed himself?
It's not even a pleasing shade of blue
>>16942677If aliens ever invade I'll tear one in half
why is the AROW app thing so dogshit what the fug.why can't there be a simple earth map like mission control has
Buzz Aldrin status?
musk is probably sniffing gold laced coke out of 1 asshole of a lineup of 20 saudi hookers assholes each of which has an hourly cost higher than anyone in this thread will make in their lifetime
>>16942678its not really success if it achieves nothing of importance
Eric Berger@SciGuySpaceThe crew of Artemis II is just a perfect mix of personalities. It is so easy to like and root for Reid, Victor, Christina, and Jeremy on their grand journey around the Moon. Godspeed, allGetting misty eyed over here.
TWO GNC CAUTIONS CHANNEL FAILURE
>>16942680no, its good that something is finally happening but this is not impressive, its not pushing tech forward or accomplishing almost anything
>>16942674>this launch cost like 2bilThat’s like a day and a half worth of bombing iran. Nothing at all.
>>16942707we'll advance tech with the unmanned lunar probes
we have onboard video now!!!!!dark as shit
Who turned out the lights?
cabin video live https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6RwfNBtepa4
>>16942709its too expensive to actually be used
>>16942572i mean clearly 13, 14 and 15 are not there
>>16942703How many failures has Starship had so far? They haven't even got it to orbit lmao, if Starship was like Artemis they would have been testing / engineering it for decades just like Artemis and maybe by now had a successful orbit. As of right now it's a clusterfuck of a plan with no actual engineering or testing of a crew module or any of the necessary shit to get it to bring people anywhere.
WHERE'S MUSK
>>16942707Its not impressive! but Elon's sewer taxis are the most beautiful thing I've ever seen!
christina ass
>>16942710lolI think CLPS is mostly to just spread money around more (instead of just letting SpaceX and BO do everything) and hope that perhaps something useful comes out of it, maybe one of the companies stays alive and produces a useful service for NASA eventuallythe test landings have been more proof of concepts than anything
is everyone at nasa a woman now?
>>16942724Seething
If you turn out the lights in the capsule the astronauts automatically fall asleep, like putting a towel over a bird cage
>>16942722you really are stuck on that "getting to orbit" part aren't youthey haven't gone to orbit because it hasn't been the priority, getting to a fully reusable rocket has beenSpaceX launches stuff to orbit every other day, its not difficult and they could have done it with Starship as well quite many flights ago if that was actually a priority
>>16942724On the floor, pants down, with a Naloxone syringe sticking out of his ass.
>>16942727
Feed diedAstronauts drifting through space
do we think a successful mission would make Congress give NASA more funding?
>>16942738Didn't they intentionally burn out early to avoid orbit in case the vehicle went out of control? You don't wanna pull a CCP and leave a huge spinning tank up there to come down who-knows-where.Anon knows that, doesn't he? What a maroon.
>>16942741flooaaattttinggggg
>>16942738Elon hasn't gone to orbit because he didn't WANT to go to orbit!This again. Maybe just go to sleep. Tomorrow might be a better day for you. Probably not, but maybe.
:^)
>>16942742clearly we can cut their budget even more if its this easy
>>16942742Congress will congratulate NASA on this successful and historical return to the moon right before announcing another budget cut for NASA because they need to send another trillion to Israel.
>>16942749saved for future shitposting
>>16942742That's anti-semitic anon. Don't you know our greatest ally needs that money?
>>16942752>>16942755Put an Israeli on the next artemis mission
>>16942756Put them on the next ISRO mission.
Sticky gone. Pol vermin invade.You have a dozen Artemis threads in pol right now. Please go back and post there.
Imagine being on this piece of shit for barely a few hours into the 9 day or whatever mission and there's already multiple issues lmao
ICPS jettison
>more space pollution

>>16942681E is unaware that actual lunar missions are now happening. It isn’t even on his radar.
this stuff is so cool. you'll never get this transparency with private spaceflight.
Elon's silence tells all.
more like if Elon sticks his head out at any point in this mission all he'll get in response is WHERE IS HLS
>>16942809that seemed a little, excessive?
>>16942812>>16942813stfu faggot you're literally obsessed.this stuff is so cool and finally something new stop ruining the moment with retarded bickering.
Most if not all of us have never had human lunar missions in our lifetime, now we have an active one
hows the starliner mogging going? theyre doing the proximity test right

>>16939550wtf i love rocketwomen now
>>16942838>>16942840are there any pictures like this of the shuttle?
>>16942813Elon could, should have been in front clapping. He's an Artemis partner after all. But nothing, because events are taking the attention off his ipo grift. Bush league move.
U.S. PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP IN ADDRESS TO NATION:"Let me begin by congratulating the team at NASA and our brave astronauts on the successful launch of Artemis II. It was quite something."It will be travelling further than any manned rocket has ever flown and will very substantially pass the moon, go around it and come back home from a distance that has never been done before."It's amazing. They are on their way and god bless them, these are brave people. God bless those four unbelievable astronauts."

>>16942880Can't go to the moon + didn't ask + killed 14 people
>>16942871How will they relight for the landing burn?
>>1694289220 I think? ground gas leak killed a couple, and then the helicopter crash looking for Columbia debris too.
i havent seen shit with my telescope :(
goodbye, ICPS
buh-bye ICK-PISS
>>16942891It's been really cool to watch over his shoulder as he flies it around.
Orion is a real good system.Boeingboomers wish they could build a capsule like this.
victor is having a snack
>>16942891much tighter than the simulations.
>>16942905https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xCHH24bGZh4
This is really comfy. I'm so happy we can finally experience what Apollo era spaceflight fans experienced back then. And we're just getting started.
So why is SLS so flawless yet in the same breath this company just fucks up Starliner beyond repair
>>16942910Because boing only work on 1 thing: orange tank, which is basically just the space shuttle tank. The important stuff, engines, fuel, capsule etc were all non-boing
>>16942917ghetto af

>>16942624Test missions intentionally trying to hit the edge vs actual mission that has to go 100% right because it will kill the crew, not the same, false equivalence.Also SLS has awful cadence partially because they build no damn hardware and have very little ability to do hard physical testing like spacex does, even though they’d like to.>>16942637
>>16942854The constant speckling from the IR sensors or whatever those are on the iPhones is fascinating. It was everywhere.
>>16942678>and it succeededAnd yet as a program, SLS is a humongous failure.>b-but he failed in my mind!It really doesn’t matter what schizophrenic mindset you develop surrounding the highly successful starship testing campaign.
>>16942722>how many failures has starship had so farNone, because physical hardware rich testing really doesn’t care about the opinions of midwits like you.>h-haven’t gotten to orbitThey actually have, they’ve gone to orbital velocity, you’re just pedantic about it because you’re a loser and you don’t like that this argument doesn’t work anymore.

>>16943088It was great

>>16943073Simps consider not blowing up while filling the COPV with inert gas an edge case.
Another big launch soon
>>16943099They don't count because starship is still in development stage.Falcon 9 is their working unit and it's flawless.
Deputy Administrator of NASA Richard Shelby just announced that SLS is cancelled, and to be replaced by SSLSS
>>16943080>They actually haveYou will never be a real orbit. You have no period, you have no ellipsis, your perigee is decidedly sub-Kármán. You are a ballistic trajectory twisted by cope and autism into a crude mockery of nature's perfection.All the "validation" you get is two-faced and half-hearted. Behind your back people mock you. Your designers are disgusted and ashamed of you, your "friends" laugh at your parabolic appearance behind closed blast doors.Spacecraft are utterly repulsed by you. Tens of years of iteration have allowed spacecraft to sniff out frauds with incredible efficiency. Even trannies who "pass" look uncanny and unnatural to a spacecraft. Your structural parameters are a dead giveaway. And even if you manage to get a desperate spacecraft on board with you, it'll turn and bolt the second it gets a whiff of your diseased, deadly semi-major axis.You will never last long enough. You wrench out a fake ephemeris every single morning and tell yourself it's going to be ok, but deep inside you feel the atmosphere creeping up like a weed, ready to pull you with the unbearable drag.Eventually it'll be too much to bear - you'll spring a leak, rip a panel, lose a tile, and break up into the hot plasma. Your designers will find you, heartbroken but relieved that they no longer have to live with the unbearable shame and disappointment. They'll sugarcoat your name with how much data they got from you, but every passerby above 1 for the rest of eternity will know a suborbital flight occurred then. Your altitude decayed and went right into the negatives, and all that will remain of your legacy is a flight path that is unmistakably suborbital.This is your fate. This is what you chose. There is no burning retrograde.
>>16942624Wasn't the original plan to send that Jap around the moon in a dragon variant launched by FH? That seems most comparable. We all know the success of FH and the crew dragon program individually.

what does this achievethe amount of ressources spent to fly around our dusty fren should be invested into the research of new propulsion technology such as anti-gravity and warp.We are using antiquated tech which is bareley sufficient to keep ISS operational and has high risk of failure, this is NOT the futureThe key is antimatter and WE EUROPEANS are doing great progress!https://home.cern/news/press-release/experiments/base-experiment-cern-succeeds-transporting-antimatter
>>16943216Jessie did
>>16943227>what does this achieveIt gets us one step closer to having a permanent presence on the moon, and therefore one step closer to having a staging area from which we can explore the rest of the solar system.
>>16943216All he has do is write a 5 word congrats message and he can't even do that. Hell, it can be some emojis even. Does he feel this threatened or something?

how long until elon turns against space colonization by humans?
>>16943240>nd therefore one step closer to having a staging area from which we can explore the rest of the solar system.no, read my post again imbecile.Our tech is too slow and fragile too explore the solar system. One error and you are dead, after months or even years of traveling. This is NOT the way to go

>>16939331a more dignified america would say that they "lead" instead of "dominate"but the intention is to destroy the competition, not for them to follow in our footsteps
>>16941090Not yet confirmed. They're just talking about it. I think there would be a lot of old money pushback because they've seen this kind of thing before.
>>1694316650/50
>>16943263Learn how funding works. This is a simple baby step toward a broader exploration plan. The government abides by the sunk cost fallacy. Be the cost they sink money into rather than the ideologue on the fringes. First they fund Artemis with boomertech. Then there's a permanent presence in orbit around the moon. Then there's a permanent presence on the moon. Then there's a justification for developing the larp drive or even something like project Orion. Be the sunk cost that corrupt government official feel the need to dump more money into.

Not one word about the success of Artemis. A program he is part of. Anyway until HLS is cancelled for non performance. But dozens of mean girl tweets about the elected governor of California. A pinned tweet even.Elon is on an angry meth head rant.
>>16943305If they’re indeed going to use HLS Starship to take Orion to the moon then the astronauts could get cardio in by pacing around the circumference à la Skylab. As for the best machine, on the ISS the machine that has shown the most success is ARED because it can be converted into multiple modes. But it’s big and while it would fit well on a Starship, HLS is expendable so throwing something complex and heavy on there means it’s going to be wasted every flight.Better to just use a small ass rowing machine like what Orion has

Imagine actually being one of those astronauts. It must be a life-changing event to see the entire Earth from afar and circle the Moon up close, viewing all the valleys and mountains out your window. Nevermind actually walking on it. People just 200 years ago would never be able to comprehend it and yet we just take it for granted and carry on with our lives.

>>16943480Elon's children, to the extent they get an inheritance, are taking the money and never looking back. The major investors in SpaceX will be Blackrock and the other Wall Street money changers, and the only goal will be increasing this quarter's dividends.

>>16943475They did make no progress for a year. There's a limit to how hard you can just fly-and-go before it becomes an inefficient way of solving the failure modes of a system with complex dynamics. They learned their lesson, and that's why they have put all that new test infrastructure in place.

>>16943495>>16943507>>16943515It should probably be pointed out that up until the COPV failures that SpaceX has likely used 100+ COPVs in the starship program across all vehicles without issue.Vehicles that where much more hastily put together than S38 and B18.It's either massive mistakes in handling or genuine defects. The design itself if likely fine.
>>16943520>It's either massive mistakes in handling or genuine defects. The design itself if likely fine.I wonder how big of an ego you'd have to have to think you know better than hundreds of top-tier engineers having access to the actual thing.
>>16943520Elon said, after the first booms, that SpaceX had solved the problem with better inspection of units. Then -- more boom.It's not so much the failure, failures happen. It's insisting you've investigated, found the root cause, and implemented corrective action. When it happens again after that, and it did, that calls into question every step in your process and every actor in your organization.
>>16943525>SpaceX had solved the problem with better inspection of unitsPretty sure that SpaceX (not Musk) said that it lowered the pressure and added new inspection procedures.Why are you retards so hung up about whatever Musk has to say, anyway? Is it really just jealousy?

>>16943555>I am still correctForever's a long time to be tooting your horn about something that hasn't ended.
>>16943531Grok?Is that bitch still whining?SpaceX traced the root cause to a composite overwrapped pressure vessel (COPV), used to store nitrogen in Starship's payload bay. The failure was caused by "undetectable or under-screened damage" to the COPV, which compromised the vehicle's structure and caused the propellant leak and subsequent explosion on the stand.In response, SpaceX said that it has lowered the operating pressure for COPVs and added protective covers to guard the tanks during Starship assembly. SpaceX has also introduced new COPV inspection and testing procedures, including a "non-destructive evaluation method" for detecting any internal damage."Dr. Sam Beckett never returned home,"
>>16943558>In response, SpaceX saidUh, thanks for proving yourself wrong? I guess?What a fruitless conversation.
>>16943295I noticed that the goalpost shifted again, it is now "on launch" and the anon gave Starship and the Shuttle failures despite neither ever failing to leave the pad.

>>16943395it's going to be a miserable failure just like everything else they built after the soviet union.
>>16943608>>16943610Is Imagine a separate service? I just think Grok as a sole LLM would be far more profitable without the extra resources for this art garbage. I really can’t imagine anyone is actively paying to create ugly retarded slop. AI image and video generation lost its novelty to normies over a year ago and there’s plenty of ways to do it for free.
>>16943615OpenAI is and always has been about maximizing the power of its language models at all costs, and they don't do well trying to compensate for operating costs. xAI took an operating costs first approach to designing its LLMs, which is part of the reason why they don't have any frontier models except in positive user experience with Imagine and the lowest hallucination rate in the business.

>>16943702I'm not a jew, so I guess that puts me along the most mentally retarded. I just don't like terrorist states, so I'm glad that the US is trying to remove them. And I'm not American, so I don't have grievances about them going to war. Though it would be nice if Iran managed to do a really nasty attack on Israel before the war is over.
If you would've told me years ago that SLS and Orion will have sent mankind back to the moon before starship even manages to achieve LEO, I would have laughed in your face. Well Shelby is laughing now. I am a fool. We are all fools.
>>16943706Israel is a terrorist state as much as Iran. Even fully buying into what is argued about Iran, both states kill their own people, are in a religious death cult, and have extreme bloodlust. Attempting to decimate Iran is part of a unilateral plan to cement Israel as a super power in the Middle East and the world at large with their control of the vital trade routes in the region.It is better for world stability and virtually every other nation on earth that the region has two major powers with Iran and Israel counterbalancing each other. All the conflict with Iran has done is spike global energy/oil prices, and the US is actually least affected by this compared to Asia/Europe. The US can’t do anything else at this point outside of ground invasion which would be political suicide and likely result in economic recession. So all they’ve effectively done is give Iran nothing to lose vis a vis how willing they are to blow up the global economy with their control of the strait and oil and radicalize their populace. Based on Trump’s speech last night, the US strategy is now to force the hand of Asia/Europe by pointing out that they will suffer more than the US economically the longer Iran is still in power. In other words, America is trying to get everyone else to do the dirty work, partially I imagine so the American citizenry doesn’t continue to identify the entire operation as solely a move by Israeli parasites in charge of the US govt to fuck over the US and the rest of the world and install Israel as the ultimate super power in the center of the Silk Road. Supporting this war if you are not jewish amounts to supporting total economic devastation and making your own life worse for literally no reason other than to help the worst people on Earth become ultra powerful. In other words, retarded.>>16943716Is starship still due to fly this month?

>>16943717I don't like that stalemate state, either. If one problem gets solved, it'll be easier to understand the existence of the other. Let's be real here. Iran wouldn't ever have the means to destroy Israel even without this war. And there is not a chance the civilized world would ever try to do anything about Israel while Iran and the terror cells it sponsors are at large. If the status quo is Israel not-so-subtly manipulating the West while Iran is killing people all over the West in small batches, then I want the status quo fucking gone.

>>16943759Due to budget cuts they're running the entire mission off the DSN using Jared's ears as receivers.
>>16943748Kek! Asmongold is literally handled by the Night Media organization, you can be sure most social media influencers and streamers of his size are obviously targeted as useful agents in political/social propaganda. You’d have to be legitimately braindead to not realize this.
>>16943759Space is an ocean
>>16943741elmo IS spaceflight.
>>16943759I wonder what kind of potato setup NASA has for this flight. Ideally we get back some actual physical media when Orion returns, but damn has the stream been awful.
>>16943759It's blue, if it were green they would die.
>>16943769awful in a way but also great cause it's 24/7 and you can always listen to the loop.
Wonder how much the rest of the world will seethe when the US de facto owns the moon (not due to any claims, but just due to no one else being able & willing to base there).
>>16943774>does he know
>>16943754—but enough about Elon
>>16943758Mag 8
>>16943769NASA (and the DoD) use the NRO's classified Quasar and TDRSS networks for most of their comms
>>16943555I know there are good reasons not to have put it into an actual orbit yet, but after seeing some of these sometimes I wish they'd have just done it anyway and taken a risk of not controlling where it came down.
Inspiring new merch idea: giant pickle tick bouncy castle! Guaranteed to be a hit at parties!
>>16943776Whoa, you guys put people on the moon, too?
>>16943789He's probably referring to the chinks. The Chinese are going to put bases up there too.
>>16943782I don't, who cares what the retards seethe about? and whatever spacex does, they would move the goalposts anyway so ultimately its pointlessat some point they might move on to something like "spacex is too succssful and powerful so this succeeding is actually bad"
>>16943733>Props to spacex for having good streams, but we're halfway to the moon right now.
>>16943758What was the reason given for the increase?
>>16943805simply demand for the sharesSpaceX wants to sell them at the highest possible valuation, so depending on how much cash they want to raise and how much demand there is for the stock then that is going to ultimately decide the listing price
>The spacecraft will ignite its main engine on the service module for five minutes and 49 seconds beginning at 7:49 p.m. EDT.>Orion’s main engine provides up to 6,000 pounds of thrust, enough to accelerate a car from 0 to 60 mph in about 2.7 seconds.https://www.nasa.gov/blogs/missions/2026/04/02/artemis-ii-flight-day-2-crew-houston-poll-go-for-translunar-injection-burn/

>USA couldn’t figure out soviet magic of ORSC kerolox engines>wanted a reusable shuttle, decided only way to do it with engines that didn’t eat themselves alive was to go with a hydrogen design and an external tank>try to keep those jobs alive, make a “traditional” evolved rocket shitstack that uses a hydrogen first stage and expends the engines>booster is so different that it was designed from the ground up and shared no heritage from older shuttle ETOkay fine I can settle with keeping the shuttle job pipeline alive but fucking hell, WHY KEEP THE HYDROGEN BOOSTER STAGE?! In what fucking world is this cool. They couldn’t have done methalox or kerolox? Find a way to upgrade RS-25s or RS-68s to take methane? Hell I’d even have settled for a NEW rocketdyne engine from scratch. They had to re-open and re-tool the RS-25 pipeline anyways, and it cost hundreds and hundreds of millions
>>16943573saturn didnt kill any astronauts retard
V-2 killed zero astronauts
>hypergolic>pressure fed>tank redundancyImagine using a complex setup in deep space with lives on the line. That would be crazy haha.

>>16943801Stop being mean to Elon!This is not going to be a good year for simps. Germany 1945 levels of bad.
>>16943828The only thing they could have done better is making the NASA guy look more like Bill NelsonI'm glad other people know what a shitshow this has been
>>16943743SpaceX HLS never happens. The Blue hack next year it is. From forum discussions, think the NASA would then like an undock and boost to Moon for a test landing. But don't know if that's official.Don't think even Blue could get everything lined up to test that in one mission.
>>16943835Saturn IB killed them dead
>>16943803kek thisI still remember when spacex was awarded the HLS contractthat feels like a bygone era now
>>16943880Get a load of this gaslighting fuckboy who thinks anyone gives a shit outside of engagement baiting, izzat farming jeets.
>>16943880are you going to short SpaceX after the IPO?
>>16943887Unfueled rockets on the ground killed them dead.With the candlestick in the drawing room.
>>16943833The launch pads are already plumbed for LH2, as are the launch towersCongress has steadfastly refused to give NASA money for any infrastructure improvements for years. Any rocket was going to be hydrolox or it wasn't going.
>>16943892It's a system
Using preliminary data from the Vera C. Rubin Observatory, scientists have discovered over 11,000 new asteroids. The data were confirmed by the International Astronomical Union's Minor Planet Center (MPC), making this the largest single batch of asteroid discoveries submitted in the past year. The discoveries were made using data from Rubin's early optimization surveys and offer a powerful preview of the observatory's transformative impact on solar system science.The submission to MPC comprises approximately one million observations, taken over the span of a month and a half, of over 11,000 new asteroids and more than 80,000 already-known asteroids, including some that had previously been observed but were later "lost" because their orbits were too uncertain to predict their future locations. You can interact with all of Rubin's asteroid discoveries in the Rubin Orbitviewer, which uses real data to provide an intuitive way to explore the structure of our cosmic backyard in three dimensions and in real time.Rubin best girl.

>reports of a swarm of unidentified drones peppering the Orion capsule with space debris>the drones appear to all be shaped similarly to starlink satellitesElon no!
>>16943906
>>16943908It freaks me out that each and every asteroid, star, and speck of dust is given a name, or at least a code. Literally INFINITE heavenly bodies up there and they ALL must have a name. There are SO MANY OF THEM
>>16943833The Soviets never managed to make a good hydrolox engine either.

>2026>going to the moon isnt a regular thing the average person can enjoyour future was stolen from us
beautiful 144p 1fps earththank you for showing us such wonders
how come the most advanced country have the shittyest space camerasdidn't they hire Nokia to build a LTG network and get better video feed??
bruh i hope someone grills NASA about this audio/vidoe. shuttle missions had better quality than this
>caution: no crew actionis this our version of a 1202 alarm
Why wouldn't you have the best HD cameras possible for this big mission?0.5 fps is barely even video
>>16943995its not the cameras, its the network
Dr. Jessie ChristiansenI went back to capture what the astronauts said in full when the clock was stopped at T-10 minutes and they were asked if they were go for launch:This is Victor. We are going for our families.This is Jeremy. We are going for all humanity.This is Christina. I need to go home right now. I forgot my phone!

When do they stir the tanks?
Please tell me the moon landing will have better quality than this
>>16943838>
>>16944011The moon landing will be worse, and it will continue being worse until plebs realize film is superior to digital.
>>16944011only if the astronauts that do the landing make it back homelikewise we will get really good video of Artemis 2 once all of the high def cameras that aren't broadcasting get on land
>we gaan
almost sounded like Forrest Gump trying to say "we are going"
the big difference is that Apollo broadcasted to satellites which then sent the radio signal to Earth, where as the DNS is entirely Earth based
>we are all earsdon't be rude to your boss
>>16944011It will hurt my ego if they have low exposure on the cameras and show the moon as a dull grey. The surface needs to be HHHHUUUUUWHYTE!

>>16944015Assuming the telecom relay satellites get to the Moon as planned, I believe 4k video from the landers is a listed requirement
>>16943999The woman really said that?
@grok make DSN sexy>>16944005
turn it off and on again
her voice is soothing
>>16944018Grok?This goon is incredibly wrong! Apollo 11 sent live television back to Earth using a specialized Westinghouse black-and-white camera mounted on the Lunar Module’s descent stage. The signal was transmitted via the LM’s S-band antenna, received by large telescopes in Australia and California, and converted into a standard television format.

Good photos still rolling in. It's going to be fun when Starship starts launching from Florida.
What if Orion explodes out of nowhere like Crew Dragon?
>>16943833Its easy to forget that methalox was a pipe dream prior to Raptor. It was as feasible as nuclear remains today
>>16944043You immense goon. That was an earth relay satellite -- and here's the important part -- pointing toward locations on earth to transmit signals between them. It wasn't pointing at the moon to relay signals back. Now, never post again.
>>16944056This kills the astronauts
>>16944057it's also only feasible because methane can be harvested from the martian atmosphere, so using it for a jobs program moon mission is pointless

talking to people irl and looking at social media it seems like 95% of the public falls into 3 categories now>people who think space exploration is pointless and would rather spend mo money on dem programs or get a tax break>people who think the space program is fake and would rather spend mo money on dem programs or get a tax break>people who like the space program but have an elementary schooler's understanding of spaceflightWas it like this back in the day or are we seriously degenerating?

>>16944169anyone have that yt video link handy of the space tuber guy doomering about his moment of realizing just how little the public cares about spaceflight, either in the past or current? I'm trying to find it....
>>16944168It's basically always been this way. After Apollo 11, public interest took a nosedive.Normies just don't know (and more importantly just dont care) about spaceflight. They don't care about the Moon, they don't care about a mars sample return or humans on mars. They don't care about james webb or probes to venus or outer ice giant probes, europa landings, etc. They just don't give a shit
>>16944168Yeah it was the same except the second category didn't exist. No one thought it was fake but loads of people thought it was pointless.

Why are they so reticent to put the mission elapsed timer on screen? It's so annoying having to look elsewhere or calculate. They have it since they show it for two seconds every hour so why the fuck is it not constantly on screen or at least when the split view is up?

>>16944190Tell my wife I love her very much.
>>16944168see >>16944179The people complaining about taxes don't realize NASA makes up less than half of a single percent of the federal budget. If someone pays $20,000-$40,000 in taxes in a year around $75 to $150 worth of that would be going to the space program. Anyone with a modicum of self control can recoup that threefold by getting cash back on a credit card and not carrying a balance. People are dumb and dislike things they don't understand.

>>16944212Good bait
>>16944168I think the perception is that unless you are one of these scientists/engineers yourself, it's pointless to waste time trying to understand the research that goes on. The other problem is that we aren't even sure that an FTL engine can ever exist, so everyone knows we are stuck with earth for at least the next three or four hundred years. You put these two facts together and yeah, the average person is going to be focusing more on stuff that actually has an effect on their life.

>>16944300space dulls taste so they go heavy on the spiciness
>>16944230Those were the days. I honestly like hosted webcasts especially since SpaceX hosts are good at pausing for the callouts, but the net only streams had some extra callouts (and lasted a bit longer) so I synced up the streams to have both going. I've already done it a bit with the views only and full broadcast now, too, but except for the press conferences I don't think the full broadcast has been missing any comms so I'll just put the views only one on for those moments and skip the syncing. Especially since now the Houston commentator is on the views only stream sometimes, too, apparently.>>16944302It seems hard to believe he could make it to a landing, but if he can't even properly register the first trip back out there that'd really suck.

Starship literally has never completed an orbit, nor has it carried a single ton of cargo, much less people. At this point, Starship is a fantasy; its only purpose is to convince the government that they should outsource NASA to SpaceX.

I’m going to associate this mission with a toilet for the rest of time, it seems
>>16944353I mean it is number 2, anon
>>16944353Artemis: Number TwoLeading the way, IL DEUCE
>>16944344They both suck.
>>16944275I'm English though which is better than America in every way except spaceflight (in 200 years the British spirit will be revived and the Solar System will belong to us).
>>16944358>I'm English thoughSalam alaikum, habibi!
Tianlong-3 failed, fyi
>>16944362sad
>>16944222I wholeheartedly believe humanity will just create its own virtual universe before ever setting foot on any other planet besides Mars
>>16944366We could do a flyby of Venus as well before retreating into VR land
Space Pioneer's Tianlong-3 (Chinese 3.8m Falcon 9 style rocket clone) debut launch failed, possibly during first stage flight. That's the rocket accidentally took off in what was supposed to be a static fire test.
>>16944369>the rocket accidentally took off in what was supposed to be a static fire test.shameful display
>>16944370
>>16944370*prematurely took offand we don't call that a failure, just natural virility. the sperm will arrive
>>16944369
>>16944369I have to give them creditThey managed one more launch than Pythom did despite being even more clueless
>>16944371they just keep dropping these rockets on villageseven when it's reusable they keep doing itI respect their tenacity, but damn
>>16944353IIRC Crew-1 also had toilet problem. Curiously, that was the only other flight Victor Glover had flown..
>Next flight of Starship and first flight of V3 ship & booster is 4 to 6 weeks awayhttps://x.com/elonmusk/status/2039978694425682321
>>16944251you just need to bring the right mission specialist with you
>>16944400Two to three two weeks. Grim.
This goes hard ngl
>>16944400>4-6 weeksSo they haven't made any progress since the last time he's said this and the time before that also?
>>16944400Jesus, not even April launch. Is it going to be June at this rate?
>>16944400Seems like it is always 4 to 6 weeks away since the beginning of 2026.
>>16944400>stalling for IPOomg bro this shit sucks
I can't believe a fucking toilet of all things is whats shutting up the "why do we need a test flight?, just send a drone" crowd. reality truly is stranger than fiction lmao
>>16944417People do not understand how much more annoying and difficult spaceflight becomes once you have to supply a habitat for the human beans on board.
>>16944422Maybe but at least human beings can climb the wall of a crater without taking 5 years like Perseverance.
We have live telemetry of the some parameters like speed and distances, but nothing about the status of the septic tanks. I thought Isaacman promised more transparency.
Will humans land on the moon again in 2020s?
Had anyone told me this bald dude will be our only hope for space exploration, I would told you retarded, but this is true today.
>>16944414it seems possible that they really are stalling for that, though I imagine there is extra pressure to get things right due to being behind on the program, so they're probably taking their time with testing too
>>16944437Yes. Both BO and GayseX will deliver
>>16944454> I imagine there is extra pressure to get things rightThis would particularly be the case for the IPOHaving their fancy new rocket blow itself to pieces right before IPO day would be bad
>>16944439> O’Neill pilled spinGOD beats the druggy wellniggerjust lol if you couldn’t see that coming
>>169444004 to 6 weeks awayGround hog Day
>>16944400Sure feels like Elon is deliberately manipulating the betting market. But would he take the risk? Maybe he's using this to pay his drug dealer off the books.
>>16944462>GayseXi hope the fact that I reflexively double clicked this and pressed 'searched in google' before parsing this word will make you happy.
>>16944500lol
At this point they have to nail every objective otherwise starship is over. I won't even excuse multiple raptors shitting the bed during the launch.
>>16944494is playing it safe with launching after after the IPO manipulation?sounds to me like your conflating manipulation with a adolescent seethe about wanting a company to take a hit for personal feewings.
>>16939346>allow foreigns to ride on our spacecraft because otherwise they would never get to space>actually this demonstrates how important international cooperation is to spaceflight and the US space programI cannot stress this enough.Kill yourself immediately, retard
>>16944507>take a hitthis nigga believes the fake stock market number means anything at all
>>16944510Airbus built the service module that is doing all the maneuvering beautifully without any thruster failures.
>>16944512just because the market is fake and gay, doesn't mean it wont get fuckered by its primary vehicle fucking exploding when its owner is the prime hate-boner of 41% of the world. especially when most of the hatred comes from the market its going public directly into.also, the market makers would love nothing other than to manipulate the piss outa the market with a nice explosion to stack shorts on.
>>16944400Is 4 weeks the new 2 weeks?
>>16944414Actually, seriously, unironically, truthfully, unquestionably, without a doubt, GRIM
The OMS is actually massive. You could overclock this thing and turn the ESM itself into a moon lander.
>>16944510You're right, they should have had an all-American cost-plus service module procured through Boeing! and outsourced to Indians that explodes
>>16944272>>16944275It makes me feel happy that Americans are winning so hard. Good on them.
>>16944521An unmanned moon lander with something lighter than a capsule on top of course.Launch it on Vulcan with a Centaur V.NASA should seriously consider this for another lander option in addition to CLPS
>>16944526Solar panels with brakes designed for operation under load already would probably just work in 1/6g.11 kW of surface power landed wherever you want it in addition to the payload.
>>16944414Freezing the ball until June would be 8 months between tests, of a vehicle that's supposed to do a one hour turn while still on the pad. Almost as bad as another Elon firecracker. There's no good look here.
>>16944400Didn't he say say this same shit about 4 to 6 weeks ago?
>>16944535Torque. Why sky divers and figure skaters pull their arms in on landing. And why solar panels deploy afterward.
Has Elon said anything about Artemis 2 directly yet?
>>16944537It’s less risky at this point, from a valuation standpoint, to just say you have a new variant coming that needs yet another dead year of ground testing for confidence but with great promises ahead; versus going for a launch and even if most things go right you still have a few shortcomings that make uninformed idiots deduct points of speculated value from you
>>16944543Yes
>>16944543https://x.com/elonmusk/status/2039046398566625501
>>16944544I agree SpaceX is over and Musk has 100% betrayed the cause by IPO, but the previous development method was not working. It was purely done because Musk liked the aesthetic.SpaceX could not learn much or fix much because the time between flights was short and everything had already been commited to hardware. Integrated test flights should be done once everything is expected to work, specifically to verify that it all works together. Space Shuttle was a more ambitious design (for its time) than Starship, and worked first time.
>>16944513>>16944523Good point! America can learn from Europe's manned space program.Could you link me to some information about that? I must have misplaced it.
>>16944551Multi planetary civilization is cancelled because Elon decided to hop on the Line Must Go Up game with "AI" train.
>>16944543No. He spent the day whining about California Democrats.
>>16944554The guy was my hero ever since I saw grasshopper and learnt about the mission of a fully reusable rocket. SpaceX optimism and hype peaked during the initial Falcon 9 landing attempts. This scrappy little company was using commercial missions as a way to test their bombastic idea, then it worked and it was surreal. Musk fell off, so sad. If todays Musk headed SpaceX 15 years ago he would have bankrupted it with retarded orders. OGs like Mueller are under NDA and have vested interest in their SpaceX shares continuing to pump, but the fact he left SpaceX and his space tug company does not rely on Starship at all really tells all that went on that lead to him quitting.
>>16944561It's too bad heroic geniuses like you never start multiple trillion dollar companies. Why is it always the worthless scammers like Elon?!
>>16944317no! The maiden flight of Tianlong-3 had a good first stage flight, but failed somewhere after second stage separation.

>>16944553The launcher for the ESA crewed Hermes spaceplane -- Ariane 5 -- was quite successful! Hermes itself united Europe by dominating space exploration for over a decade (in the alternate timeline...)
why dont they just rotate the launch pad 22 degrees instead of rolling immediately after liftoff
