Can you imagine if it missed the moon and kept flying in the dark endless space? What would you do in that situation? The moon looks pretty small when its drawn to scale.I would be pretty nervous travelling there no matter how well some physicist has calculated the trajectories and everything.
> What would you do in that situation?It's why all astronauts are given suicide pills.
you hope the trip included suicide pills I suppose.
>>16945844>>16945842no need, you could just turn off the co2 scrubbers and drift off to sleep for a painless easy death
>>16945853the feeling of suffocation comes from co2 building up in your blood.exposing yourself to the vacuum of space would be a less painful death as you'd blackout in a minute or so.
>>16945834People had calculate the path accurately since almost 400 years ago. Newthon's laws still work fine at this scale.
>>16945834this is why they had multiple drills to correct the course and apparently they weren't needed. Sure, the possibility exist but it's almost like worrying that the plane you're boarding would miss the destination airport.
>>16945834>kept flying in the dark endless space>Toilet doesn't work.https://nasaspacenews.com/2026/04/a-toilet-trouble-on-artemis-2-mission/Also...>Individual funnels and airflow suction prevent liquid escapes in microgravity environments.Is this what my fucked-up brain think it is ?
>>1694606823 million dollars for the most uncomfortable looking toilet you have ever seen which doesn't even work anyways
>>16945834You don't know how orbital mechanics work.
>>16945834They probably still have enough fuel to carry out a major correction. They used 500 m/s for Trans-Lunar Injection. I am not sure how much delta-V Orion + ESM have, but I assume it is larger than 1000 m/s from what I remember. I'm pretty sure NASA considered the contigency where they have to turn back halfway to the Moon.
>>16945861If the body fluxes into particles, it's easier for the soul to suddenly appear outside viewing the events.
>>16945834They aren't fast enough to escape
>>16945861>exposing yourself to the vacuum of spaceI am so fucking angry that I will never get to die this way unless I inherit a sum of money large enough to bribe Spacex
>>16946183It would be extremely painful anon.
>>16945861Sometimes that's an eternity.
>>16946073There was actually an Xprize to build the next gen space shitter. I don't know if anyone won it or what happened. But this thing is apparently as good as it gets for Orion's size. I think the ISS shitter is better but they actually have unlimited water (they just recycle all the piss).They actually have to spit their toothpaste saliva directly into a towel. This trip to the moon is as bare bones as it gets. Take a look at the briefcase sized food warmer sometime. It takes 1 hr of use to heat the damn food up. It's pretty sad actually.
>>16945834It has a free return orbit with a delta-v lower than what is required to leave earths gravity well, and the orbital inclination is such that it would return to earth even if the moon was not there, this video explains it,https://youtu.be/watch?v=6ZZtWZXMZj4
>>16945834Probably would be eaten up by Jupiter's 60-degree Lagrange points directing the asteroid belt. Probably why Kepler thought of triangles.
>>16945834The same I did on SFS when that happened: start spinning obscenely fast.
>>16946301I know anything space related is expensive but still. How does a toilet become the value of 23 luxury houses? This just doesn't compute. Yeah it has to deal with space poop and everything but wouldn't you still get that with a million dollars at most?
>>16946396its an extremely complex system that has never been built before and must undergo rigorous testing over several yearsfirst you have a team design something within NASAs strict allowances that might work. you build and test several variations until you think you've got a working model. then engineers and other technicians have to build from scratch every single part of the toilet, then you have to meticulously build it by hand. ship the thing to lockheed, then provide all the servicing for the install27 million isnt too bad tbqh
>>16946423>do your business>poop goes in a container>container closesWhy can't it be that simple
>>16945834Yes. But luckily the people in charge of the mission are smarter than the average flat earther. Lol.
>>16945834It's horrifying to imagine, yes. The margins for error in this mission are indeed smaller, but our capability of measuring where the moon is and aiming at it is several orders of magnitude greater than the error required for a successful mission. Our astronauts are about as probable of returning from the moon as you are to the earth when jumping.
Someone needs to find some groundbreaking technology that defies modern limitations and allows intergalactic travel to be possible lol.
>>16946073What looks uncomfortable for us gravtards may not actually be uncomfortable for zero G chads and staceys
>>16945834Its just an elliptical Earth orbit. The dv to escape the Earth/Moon system is on a whole other level
