Can someone tell me why leftists are obsessed with this "coming together" shit? Is it just a dogwhistle for "I hate white people" without outright saying it because deep-down they know white people are the ones responsible for such achievements?

Hello, /sfg/. shame we have to cut the quality of these 8mb images down
>>16946636>most ambition plan so far>NASA budget only goes downIt's good to know that moon bases are only a fantasy.
is this true? if so, why all this business about 'we're going to the Moon to go to Mars'?
>>16946652It is true. What this guy doesn't mention is, since there is no atmosphere, you can build infrastructure to launch stuff from the moon without using any fuel at all.
>>16946652I'm sure there is a better map than this one but yeah, kinda?
>>16946648make a thread on /hr/
>>16946652Some people are of the opinion that we should be as close as possible to Earth, while learning to live on another celestial body. Mars is months away, while The Moon is hours away. It makes sense, but I think it's gay as fuck. Those people have no balls.
>>16946656Closed loop life support is a huge unsolved problem. You can iterate on the system on the moon without putting people's lives in imminent danger.
>>16946652Yes which is why Starship is better for Mars. You need almost the same amount of refuels, but also you don't need to have separate vehicle for landing.The time requirement going to Mars is the biggest roadblock.
>>16946659Bonus points for the moon: the lack of atmosphere means you can use magnetic accelerators to send stuff to orbit.
>>16946659time shmime. just bring a few books. it'll go by in a breeze.Spaniards and Dutch colonized the world in tiny boats that took months to get anywhere, and half of them died in the process. we're just too babied nowadays.

>>16946662tfw no Eris rover.
Why is Venus requirement so massive?
>>16946636NASA should get 5% which would be around $300 billion. Fuck moonbase Alpha shenanigans. O'Neill cylinders by 2100 should be the goal.
>>16946666I too want to know. plane change perhaps?
>>16946661trvthnvke
>>16946636The combination of the budget for the space race against the commies, mixed with the cost of the Vietnam war against communism, bankrupted the U.S. so Nixon decided to go off the Gold standard that backed our currency up with, and just use FIAT and print as much as we wanted into hyper inflation.
>>16946671I don't see the big deal, let's just go back on the gold standard then
>>16946650moon base money was spent in desert storm sowwwyyyyyyyy :)
>>16946652This is why the program will fail. There will never be any serious attempt at Martian colonization until after we already have a multi-trillion dollar space to space industry set up in cislunar space. Even then, humans cannot survive through multiple generations with that much of a gravity difference. So even if we do end up going to Mars, it'll be to plunder the planet for immediate resource to construct space colony's around it. Going to the moon should be about learning how not to die in space and developing industry to set up the cislunar economy. Especially in regards to manufacturing, energy production (space to Earth first, then space to space) along with setting up the logistics infrastructure to support all of the operations. The goal should be to have enough industry to where it is cheaper to extract, refine, build and launch shit into space off of the moon than it would be from off of Earth. That's when you're able to start building the cool shit. At that point, things like O'Neill cylinders become the goal because unlike all other empires throughout history who had to conquer the land. You now build it in order to increase the overall population for more industrial/economic output and to increase the tax base so that you can build more. With the levers of power being the energy generation and launch capabilities... But that's for future generations to fight over. First things first, you gotta actually lay the groundwork to get to that point in the first place. All of that trumps going to Mars just to plant a fucking flag that would be nothing more than a vanity project like Apollo. Space should be reserved for pro natalists only. I want my space empire to E X P A N D.
>>16946666>>16946668atmosphere drag losses on ascent. Earth and Titan also have this: delta-V to asend to orbit higher than the orbital velicity by an amount related to the density.
>>16946677ohhhhh that's for ascent too. I see.
>>16945344We put the chalkboard vertically, not because it is easy, but because it is hard.
>>16946672At the time, the president of France, Charles DeGaul, had found out that the United States started to print more currency than we had gold/silver to back it up with. (Roughly 1969-1970 ish I think)After World War Two there was a world meeting of world leaders called "Breton Woods" (name of the hotel in the U.S.).At this meeting it was decided that they would all use the U.S. dollar as the world reserve currency. So all of the nations from Europe moved their gold/silver over to the United States to keep it in our vaults at Fort Knox. They would use the dollar, they would have it backed up with precious metals.We started to just fucking say fuck it and mass print after fighting the war against commies and the space race. And they (Frances economic team) found out so they pulled all of their gold out of the vaults.And then we just said fuck it, and deracinated the global economy, because all 200 nations upon planet Earth are currently utilizing a FIAT system, be it the Euro, BRICKS, Petrol dollar, Pound, its all unbacked hyper-inflating FIAT slop....We cant go back, only forward. They need to flip the board in order to fix any of this at this point.
I would not be able to resist reading from the Bible, Apollo 8 style, if I was up there. Not even religious but the seething from fedoras would be irresistible and I’d have to take the opportunity. As it’s Easter, John’s account of the crucifixion I think would get the most outrage.

And The Creators stellar rarity of elements is...well....adamant....congruent in a way that the fat greedy ape with their finger on the print button is not.......But we cant go back to metals, we have to leap frog past currency itself. Its just a slop race towards using things like vast quantities of electrons (energy as a form of money) compressed into storage devices. We have to kill money itself, or humanity dies upon the global stage. This far, and no farther....

/pol/ now has an Artemis II general. >>>/pol/532436471
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fbBWQnaqa74
>>16946766and it turns into a falt earth and moonhoax fest instantly. thankfully this place seems to have escaped much notice. so fucking annoying
>>16946658>without putting people's lives in imminent danger.with orion in nrho the lives of people on the moon will always be in high danger. Rewatching old apolo footage it's striking how they had a contingency for everything and were constantly doing go no-go polls during the lunar stay. They could abort to orbit at a moments notice so were only about a week from home. Meanwhile if you land in Artemis 4 and need to abort after a few hours then tough luck, you will be waiting days just to do the abort liftoff.
>>16946766Pol has a dozen Artemis threads any given moment. The combination of Trumpian American triumphalism and toilets is irresistible to them.
Amazon’s total constellation target is reportedly 3,232 satellites. The company has now launched approximately 241. Its FCC license requires half the constellation, around 1,616 satellites, to be in orbit by July. The gap between 241 and 1,616 is not a gap that two extra satellites per Atlas 5 mission can close.Amazon filed a request with the FCC to extend the deployment deadline by two years or waive it entirely, citing delays from its contracted launch providers: Arianespace, Blue Origin, and ULA. The company is essentially arguing that it did everything within its control to meet the timeline, but the rockets weren’t ready.Give Jeff his waver. Better Bezos than Musk.
>>16946785You're laughing at poor jeffy but this will be Mush with hls next year
>>16946773You kidding? This place is filled with politics, including the rest of /sci/. It's just muted compared to /pol/ of all things.
>>16946788go hang out in the various artemis threads for a while and then come back here. you'll be glad of the respite.
NSF has a few ideas. They apparently got into Elon's Ketamine stash.
>>16946773 it turns into a falt earth and moonhoaxAnd sfg was an inertialess drive hang out for months. Wouldn't go pointing fingers.
>>16946743more delusional timelines. How can this man say with a straight face that Artemis 3 is next year when neither private provider has shown any prospect of being close to ready? Blue Origin is like 2 to 3 years away from being able to achieve this. SpaceX is about 8 to 10 years away.
>>16946792they stole this from the chinese
>>16946792Is it impatience or desperation at this point that's driving all the crackpot theory crafting? Is it because Starship isn't anywhere near ready to perform as advertised and that the only recent big step is Artemis II?
>>16946794Blue is working on their Yeet Lander hack that could happen in 2027. But the current Summer date is very aggressive. Maybe before the end of the year. HLS is stone dead.
>>16946796Think that's more of a bit of bant than a serious proposal.
>>16946796i like people proposing ideas even if they're not that great. its alot better than the usual whining and quips that you see by your average person on other websites.
>>16946618>pretending there's no inherent political component to Artemisneither stupidity nor dishonesty is a virtue
>>16946656The real reason for the delay is that Elon thinks 1) he can make lunar infrastructure not merely possible but actually profitable and 2) once Optimus is sufficiently capable, Mars infrastructure can be built, including ISRU propellant, long term closed system life support and food production can be demonstrated and operational at some scale before sending humans. It also potentially solves the catch and launch ground infrastructure problems if you're willing to wait long enough.But primarily it's about a greedy (in the technical sense) shift toward shorter term profit. Elon's plans are only meaningful if he can fund them.
>>16946805The politics of nationalism and influence, yes. The programs of the 60s even had that. But not pol's neo Nazi rants.

>>16946809>Elon's plans are only meaningful if he can fund them.He has been able to fund whatever the fuck he wants for the last decade.At the same time, this has been your excuse for the last decade. What a coincidence.
>>16946785>The launch bottleneck is real, but Amazon’s situation is partly self-inflicted. Amazon’s parent company owns Blue Origin, whose New Glenn heavy-lift rocket was supposed to be a core part of the Kuiper launch strategy. Blue Origin was itself a source of the bottleneck: New Glenn’s delays contributed to the heavy-lift shortage that Kuiper is now citing as justification for an extension. The circularity deserves scrutiny.>The FCC’s milestone rules exist to prevent spectrum warehousing, and Amazon knew the launch market was constrained when it designed its deployment timeline. Without enforceable deadlines, applicants could seek authorizations to block rivals, increase bargaining leverage, or hold spectrum idle. The FCC has legitimate institutional reasons to enforce strictly.>If it grants exceptions based on investment size, it creates a precedent that rewards deep-pocketed applicants who can always claim extenuating circumstances. Every future operator seeking an extension will cite the Amazon case, and the FCC will have weakened the only enforcement mechanism that gives milestone rules teeth.>Moreover, Amazon designed its deployment schedule knowing Blue Origin’s New Glenn was unproven and heavy-lift capacity was tight. Amazon made a strategic choice, not one forced by external misfortune. If the FCC allows companies to externalize the consequences of their own launch bets onto the regulatory timeline, the milestone system becomes advisory rather than binding.>There is also a scenario the extension’s proponents rarely address: what happens if Amazon gets two more years and still fails to deploy? The spectrum remains locked, the precedent is set, and the FCC has spent its enforcement credibility for nothing. If the extension becomes a runway to an eventual wind-down, the warehousing critics will have been vindicated, and the FCC will have set a precedent it cannot easily retract.
Why do they have show cgi in the stream? Why can't ee have two cameras outside showing the earth getting smaller and the moon bigger? Do they want people to doubt them?
I feel sad that neither of the commercial landers leave a stage behind. The LEM descent stage remaining on the moon is such an awe inspriring and awesome monument to the acheivement. Leaving physical evidence of the acheivement for milliosn of years to come.

>>16947062& the audio: https://apolloinrealtime.org/17/?t=118:09:23>We had a lot of fun kidding him on the way out and all the way back about losing his scissors in a spacecraft which was, after all, not very big. But the complication was that the whole timeline on the surface was geared to having two pairs of scissors. With two pairs, Gene and I could leave one pair in the cabin and take the other pair outside - probably as a contingency tool - and not have to worry about taking it up and down (the ladder). However, because you needed the scissors to cut the plastic food bags, we finally condescended to leave one pair with Ron so that he could eat. And ultimately his scissors were found. I found them as we were preparing stowage for re-entry; but was able to signal to Gene that I'd found them without Ron knowing it. We continued to give him a pretty hard time and said that, in fact, we didn't think he'd lost them at all but he was trying to get away with these scissors as a memento of the flight and that ultimately the IRS (Internal Revenue Service) would be very interested in his activity. They were fancy, surgical scissors. At the splashdown party we had at the Flight Control Division - probably a month after the mission - we presented the scissors to Ron with great fanfare. We'd had to do an awful lot of preparation because, in order for the inventory of the spacecraft not to be confused, I had to let the crew assistance people in on the secret.
>>16947062>no sirinteresting how the astronaut culture changedback then they sounded like military on a missionnow it's a road trip with colleagues
>>16947062I am so ready for mass autism to end
>>16947073Sounds like they were bullying him. I as an autistic incel would have had a meltdown fuelled by infernal autistic rage and caused everyone to get killed.
you could grill up a nice salmon on that foot rest
>>16947080thats why he's an astronaut and you aren't
>>16947075>now it's a road trip with colleagueshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zl_VdN6rfrQ
so fucking aesthetic my god
>>16947075>they sounded like militarybecause they were

>>16947090>the last thing you see is africableak
>>16947043It's just the remnants of the naïve star trek ism that everyone is completely equal so anyone can do anything
what's gonna happen to this capsule after the mission? straight to a museum or back to lockheed martin to be stripped down?
>>16947006Because reusable spaceplanes were supposed to be cheap and rapidly reusable. It didn't work out
>>16947075Back when spaceflight was taken seriously. The biggest mistake NASA ever made was conciously trying to make manned spaceflight unheroic and boring during Shuttle. It backfired because then people where super shocked when crews died.This gay shit with a plushie and corporate HR atmosphere massively reduces the cultural impact of Artemis. But everyhting must be done to court the mythical science wahman, so nothing cool can be allowed.
>>16947095dunno https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orion_(spacecraft)#List_of_vehicles
>>16947092and europe
>>16947095Probably sent back to Lockheed to be examined. This is just a test flight, and the capsule is still unproven and riddled with issues. Especially the toilet.
>>16947099incorrect. people were 'super shocked' when Apollo 1 happened, too.it makes no sense to have military test pilots on the future moonbase. They need research associates.
>>16947101but you repeat yourself
>>16947095hopefully used to make future orions fully reusable then donated to the museum in houston
>>16946656We will never love on mars or the moon. The gravity change is fatal long term
>>16947105your dad was 'super shocked' last night when I showed him my blowjob skills, faggot.
>>16947114you are infected by /pol/. go back.I can't wait for your petulant reply, kid.
I really like how big Skylab's interiors were
>>16947115Your dad was infe... I was y-you.... Shut it. Zip it kid.
>>16947116bottom left photo is from the Smithsonian of unflown Skylab B. I recommend visiting, you can go inside (partially)
>>16947116Did the toilet on this thing work?
does anyone know if they're still sticking with this EVA suit design? or have we updated to something more/less ugly?
>the pressure suit test is expected to take all day>it will save them in the event of cabin depressurizationIf the cabin depressurizes won't they die before they get the suits on?
>>16947123yes
>>16947129why was skylab so much more advanced than the iss?
>>16947128depends how fast it depressurizes dont it
>>16947131what makes you think that? besides the size.
>>16947131
>>16947128Yes but I think the idea is to don the suits before certain operations when depressurization is more likely
>>16947133I mean for starters they allowed women on ISS...
>>16947139ah ok you don't actually care then.
>>16947132Wouldn't be instant since they're in a vacuum? The hole would just get bigger until the entire capsule was a hole.
>>1694714212psi isn't much. ever mess around with a vacuum chamber in undergrad?
>>16947139You really think they'd let people who aren't absolutely brilliant on space missions for muh diversity?
>>16946613Lets them leach off others without actually putting in the work. Like Rakesh can spend all day at home gooning, then when a bunch of white/asian people plant a flag on the moon he can suck himself off about how awesome humanity is and how WE can do anything. He will then post about how billionaires are hiding the cure for cancer because they want to make money of not curing people, totally ignorant of what cancer actually is, then maybe he will fantasize about immortality as if we could ever justify the immense effort it would take to keep everyone alive like that. TLDR; Some people are extremely lazy and want to be the main character. >>16946675I agree with the moon being more important than Mars for research reasons. But why the fuck would you build a colony around it? I assume you mean in the orbit instead of on Mars On makes more sense as you remove the issue with gravity effecting human reproduction, bone density, blindness, etc. Also you're right there where all the resources are. Seems easier to stay on Mars where gravity helps keep the atmosphere there. Just build a shield around it to block the sun from stripping it. Personally I also like the idea of the moon being a graveyard/archive of humanity. No atmosphere, the crust protecitng the inside from asteroids, etc ensure things last as long as possible. Sadly we are now pozzed and no doubt there would be a few artifacts for trying ti show the existence of DNA, and an entire continents worth of shit about gay pride, to the point where alians assume all reproduction is male-male anal intercourse. Black obviousy.
>>16947145No I'm retarded. I'm mostly basing this on the scenes from The Martian and Interstellar when they bombed the airlocks.
>>16947147obsessed.
>>16947134
>>16947134I love how the airlock hatch is just a door from a gemini capsule. I mean hey if you've already designed it
>>16947147congratulations, you have brought black gay sex discussion into /sfg/ because.....? why exactly?Spaceflight?
>>16947146yeah
>krispy kreme boxdunkinbros...
>>16947127give it a spiky helmet and some katanas
what are these two geeks talking about? are they fucking?
>woman on board>name is pronounced cook
>>16947127It's not that ugly. We can certainly make it even uglier with proper work.
>>16947128isn't the test also about how practical is it to stay suited in the cabin?so they'll wear them all day to see how it impacts daily activitiesputting on the suit in case of an emergency has to be much faster, as you saythey're going to have two astronauts don the suits normally, and two in express mode, presumably for those emergencies
>>16947159>named cook>plunges toiletshandwashing status?
>>16947148in martian the hole got bigger because it was a rip in hab canvaswell, in book martiana rigid construction wouldn't be impacted so dramaticallyso depressurisation speed would depend on the size of the hole, which size would probably stay more or less constant
>>16947152Because Artemis is causing polleaks in every sub. An unfortunate problem.
>>16947164Well that too but I meant at the end when they blow up the rescue ship to use the venting oxygen to alter course. They don't have a second compartment in there.
>>16947148We've had holes in space suits before. It just leaves a mark on your body where the hole is. You won't get sucked out into space like you see in movies.
Now that the dust has fully settled...What made them think that using a Superheavy lift disposable launch vehicle to put a giant refurbishable glider plus medium size payload into LEO was going to be cheaper than using a medium lift rocket?
>you can watchwe sent some FREAKS into space
Does Artemis have a sextant on board just in case like Apollo did or do they have a gay little app on their iPhone?
it's actually going to happen
>>16947129Towel Retention Device is funny for some reason.
>>16947169Medium lift rockets with the performance parameters you have in mind were pretty expensive before Falcon 9, especially before reuse.
retard here, can you explain to me why the spacesuits require being zipped up from the back? Wouldn't that mean you couldn't put it on by yourself in an emergency situation? Seems like a pretty big oversight (unless their thought is if it's gotten to the point where you're the only one left shit is too far gone to begin with)
>>16947176what's the chance that of the four, three are incapacitated and one isn't? risk analysis is a thing. all of engineering is tradeoffs.
>>16947168So why is it called a vacuum if you don't get sucked out?What if the suit hole was in the crotch? What would happen then?
>>16947178The three guys could sprain their hands from gooning too hard.
>>16947167again, depends on the size of the holemartian's Hermes was bigger and took noticeable time to emptyorion is small, so with a basketball-sized hole they would be immediately super fuckedbut the leak might be small enough to allow time to act
>>16947179PENIS ENLARGEMENT. science has yet to explain it but it certainly happens
>>16947179again, it's going to be at most a 12psi delta. usually less since spacecraft are at 5-12 psi or whatever. that's not much if the hole is small.
>>16947178the spacex suits don't seem to have this limitation
>>16947184Isn't the problem that they're going to 0 and not so much that they only lost 12 psi?
why did they cut away when Christina was changing into that tight black outfit?
>>16947188huh? I don't think you understand
>>16947189Who's gonna file the FOIA request?
>>16947191What I don't understand is why the capsule wouldn't just be instantly torn to shreds if there's a leak since that's what happens to airplanes unless they descend immediately.
>>16947192The people have a RIGHT TO KNOW.
>>16947186those aren't complex rescue-type suits. these have built-in life rafts, among other features.
>>16947189nasa is in texas, and lewd content requires ID verification in texas for the safety of the children
>>16947196but they were ok with showing us a naked black guy?
>>16947194>>16947196I paid for the panties she's wearing so I should get to watch her float around in them. That's how taxes work.
>>16947193hahahahahahahhahhahahaahahahahhahhahahahahahahahahahahahahaah. you've been corrupted by movies/Hollywood. lmao.planes don't get torn to shreds if there is a small hole. never have.fucking kids in this general I swear
>>16947197it's like that nowadays. men can be almost butt naked in movies and so on but it's misogynistic when women do it
>>16947193lets say you have a sphere with 12psi inside and 0 psi outside.there is 12psi force on the sphere pushing out.now poke a hole in it.air escapes through the hole.there is still just 12psi of pressure. no enormous pressure change magically materializes. go re-take 9th grade science, christ almighty
>>16947198I was told there are no panties in space.
>>16947193Airplanes operate in a much more dangerous environment. Ignoring the negative effects of radiation exposure and long stays in a zero g environment, flying at hundreds of miles per hour in earth's dense atmosphere is genuinely more dangerous than floating in space outside of the atmosphere.
>>16947202What does this capsule smell like exactly?
night vision
>>16947193the capsule is much too strong for that to happento begin with, a perforation is unlikelythey're probably more worried that something will come loose and start leaking air somehow
>>16947193this dude thinks Alien Resurrection's ending is realistic wow
how do the suits actually deal with the bodily "waste"? They say the suits are designed to support life for 6 days, that's a long time to go without peeing/pooping or eating/drinking
space will suck out your living guts if you letbetter beat it into submission first before it gets the chance
>>16947199>>16947201I already told you I'm retarded.
OMG THE BOTTLE ROCKET WILL EXPLODE IF YOU LEt AIR RELEASE FROM IT1111!!

>>16947210I assume you were not in /sfg/ during the soyuz leak incident?
>>16947208They already don't have a working toilet. This changes nothing.
>>16947193planes explode due to downward force of the rear ailerons mixing with the outward pressure of the heat pump system. it s literally the air conditioning pushing the passengers out the hole, happens all the time
>>16947215No of course not, I'm a tourist.
>>16947214t.
>>16947218oh. well, the ISS has leaks from time to time. a recent high-profile one was a hole drilled in the side of a soyuz capsule.
>>16947208>>16947216It will turn out one of the people working at NASA was a diaper fetishist, calling it now.
>>16947219>I ate her liver with tortillas and a nice strawberry breakfast drink
>>16947204to the astronauts - probably like nothing, as they get used to it, excluding new smells like burning or somethinghowever, when a diver opened the capsule floating in the sea of one of the old moon missions, he instantly vomited from the smell inside
>>16947220Was this part of what that woman did and pretended didn't happen at all until they landed and she blamed it on the other woman?
>>16947220uuuh how'd that happen?
>>16947224no, it was a drunk Russian technician on the ground that tried to cover it up.the /pol/ spammed infographic showing how it was an astronaut is simply a lie.
>>16947221wouldn't surprise me. a diaper fetishist with a space interest and education ending up there doesn't sound so far fetched
I just noticed Jaared Isaacman is not on this mission. Why? Did he fall out with NASA?
>>16947223>mfw opening the orion capsule after 10 days of christina koch not bathing or flushing the toilet
No.16946881>if I play Kerbal Space Program, will it teach me shit about orbital mechanics?NO unless you supplement it with actual source materials to understand what is happening.
>>16946881if you give up like a bitch after failing a few times, it won't, if you persevere and solve how to do things, it will, by necessity.
>>16947231come now, it gets you most of the way for knowing how something gets to ISS, or why it takes a while to get anywhere in the solar system.don't be elitist. 20 hours in KSP will have him know more about orbital mechanics than 99.9985% of the population.
>>16947230>uuuuh jeremy what's that device over there? is that even supposed to be on the space craft?
>bump limitmaking the new thread. stand by
>>16947201And that's why balloons don't pop when you make a hole with a pin. Wait -- they do pop. Grok, what is she missing?Balloons pop when the tension on the skin exceeds its structural limit, causing a tear that rapidly spreads due to the high-pressure gas escaping. This failure is caused by physical damage (punctures).Take college physics and mechanics and you'll learn about points of stress concentration. Spoiler: Why it's easier to tear paper after you cut a notch. Whether a vessel fails after tear is dependent on materials, size, shape and location of puncture, and other factors.

These Apollo niggas just gotta survive two more years
>>16947189she's actually a Bowman's wolf
>>16947230
>>16947193Barring catastrophic destruction of the airframe due to other major issues, pressure differentials of 1 atmosphere are way less dramatic than Hollywood has led people to think. A basketball sized hole in the International Space Station would give crews 15 minutes to evacuate the station because airflow gets choked.
>>16947234>>16947241Bullshit, you really need supplemental material exactly because IT IS A FUCKING GAME.It skips all the essential math for gameplay purposes.
>>16947249correct.I work with large vacuum tanks at work and you can literally just plug up a hole with your finger and not get alien-4 sucked-in.fucking holywood
>>16947243So, you're trying to prove paper doesn't tear -- or something. Just stop. You'll just get example bombed into dust. Just walk away and work on that report that's due when you go back to high school on Monday.
>>16947230wait, do they really not bathe while on the mission? Seems pretty unhygenic
the human mouth can generate more suction than a 5 psi delta and the most it can achieve is a hickey
>>16947252it is so tempting to reply to you even though I'm almost sure you're just trolling.I HATE how people are not genuine on 4chan like that. congrats, you've legitimately pissed me off. fucking troll.

>>16947246Jack Schmitt is probably still all there. He’s the only scientist from the Apollo missions.
NB from a NSF grey beard:If Isaacman wants to redirect FY26 funding to “Ignition”, he’ll have to detail that in an Operating Plan change, transmit it to the appropriations committees, and wait the required time (it was two weeks back in my day) to see if they have objections. If even one appropriator objects, the details have to be negotiated out with them. If there’s no resolution, then the spending plan from the relevant FY26 appropriations act remains in place.Normally, Operating Plans are for tweaks and emergencies. They’re usually not for major changes in program direction like “Ignition”. For obvious reasons Congress usually wants major program changes to be legislated.That leaves a new appropriation in the 27 budget, and NASA isn't getting a 50% raise. Ignition dies before it even started.
>>16947300what is ignition? what is nb and nsf?
So why is there a green screen here?
>>16947295don't call me that

Do your fucking job, journalists. And no that doesn't mean to write bait articles.

>>16947506based
>>16947508they need that massive anime penis desktop image, the legendary /g/ one
>>16947506They are whatever the current trend requires them to be, and therefore both based and cringe simultaneously.
>>16947506To be fair, its not really their fault that they won a contract more than 20 (!) years ago and then NASA was like>erm actually we are cancelling Constellation but we will give you millions of $ per year to keep tooling and expertise online for this capsuleAnd then come like circa 2016 2017 ish NASA again is like>fuck we are going to be late AGAIN. I know.. I KNOW! Ugh. It's just that we aren't ready to launch, is all!So, whatever. Lockheed was given a cow to milk. And despite some weird PDU issues and (hopefully inconsequential heat shield surprises) the thing still works. At least Orion isn't fucked like Boeing's Starliner.For now I will say based
>>16947506Based but also evil

>>16947554I think a manned mars orbit mission would be a worthwhile middle step before a landing.you can send teleoperated rovers that are much more sophisticated than current ones because astronauts directly above mars are controlling them in real time.you don't need a lander with life support or capable of getting whole humans back up off the planet, although you probably would want some amount of sample return.
>>16947563AI should be able to operate rovers just fine in a couple years.the agentic progress is still accelerating
more toilet maintenance!
the toilet will be this mission's legacy
>>16947569We need to get it right because we are bringing McDonald's with us to the stars.

>>16947565It's still a stepping stone to boots on mars. You want humans doing simulations of logistics

capcom is too low energy, someone give him some caffeine
why havent they posted any pics of the moon up close yet?
icl it kinda pmo how likable the whole crew ispurs into perspective just how much of an unlovable chud i am in reality
>>16947590they're teases and the moon kinda looks like crap through a camera stillyou don't the "woah sheesh omg" photos until you're closer>>16947592you are a drunkard as well
Wont the far side be mostly in lunar night during the flyby?
16 minutes to trajectory correction burn 3
>>16947596yes unfortunately
>>16947550They're making it look easy, so easy in fact the astronauts are getting boredThey need a lot more in-flight experiments for Artemis III
>>16947594not a drunkard just a phoneposter
>>1694759621 % illuminated
burn complete, they're probably tweaking the splashdown zone in the pacific
lots of talk-over with the crew & this controller....
>they're gearing up to take pictures of the moon They're going to be way, way closer to the moon than LRO ever got during this flyby, which means these actually going to be the best pictures of the moon in ages (aside from the lander snapshots)

>>16947623Toilet's gonna 'splode.
>>16947623We have assured the Administrator that nothing will go wrong.
>>16947626Your feed wasn't already all about space/astronauts/rockets?Fag
>>16947330that dildo will fall down in lunar gravity, no way that's stable
>>16947623their trajectory is already set, if anything even does go wrong they'll come back just the same
>>16947636oh so there's no more burns they have to make? For some reason I thought they had to do more, that's good to hear
four people, 2 pounds of poop a day, 5 days in, so that's 40 pounds of poop so far?
this is /sfg/ Mission Control, we are currently four threads in the Artemis 2 mission posting.
>>16947640just some correction burns after the flyby, due to moon's gravity influence, but those are very small corrections. I'm sure they can figure something out if in the very unlikely situation where ALL their engines fail.they didn't even do the outbound corrections for the flyby so they seem to be on a very good course

damn those quarters are REALLY cramped...
my childhood
>>16947598Couldnt they have timed it differently? Youd think the appeal of a flyby would be having something to, you know, look at
>>16947659anon, half of the moon will be lit up regardless.
>>16947596Wht wouldn't they time it for lunar day
>>16947659they'll use a torch to see, don't worry
>>16947660Just not during closest approach
>>16947662lighting up a fire inside the pod seems like a bad idea
if the moon came from earth, then does that mean that the moon has earth metals to mine?

Its either going to land on a boulder and destroy its engines or the crew will be stranded on the ship due to the cable space elevator. If the ship is off axis, either the crew will risk damaging the outside of the vehicle as is grinds against the side or they risk toppling the vehicle entirely if its sticking out over the leaning side.
