Historic live manned mission to the moon. Zero threads. I am disappoint.

who fucking cares
>>219205552>8 hours away
>woke DEI slopno thanks
"The moon" isn't real. Where are they really going? Possibly the sun.
>>219205571That could be 7 days...
>>219205704
>>219205704It is real I saw it last week
Anyone else miss the space shuttle? Just the look of it felt like something important was going on. Why did they drop it?
>>219205704Are you retarded? Sun isn't real either
>>219205774MOONED
>>219205825because we lost 2 out of 6 shuttles and they were still expensive as fuck for every launch
>>219205825>Why did they drop it?Vehicles started reaching the ends of their service lives and Congress wasn't going to fund a vehicle rebuild/replacement programThey were awesome though, haters can't stand the fact that they put more people and tonnage into orbit than any other launch system so far
>>219205704The whole mission is an elaborate April Fools joke, the rocket will blow up and tomorrow they'll reveal that the moon landing was always a hoax.
Reminder that this is only possible because of Elon dedication and hard work. Say thank you.
>>219205552SpaceX did so many launches that it's not really that magical anymore.
I went to /sci/ to look for a general but that board is completely deadlast time I saw a live thread on there was when those vids showed up of supposedly room temp superconductors
>>219205808Why wouldn't they just use Saturn V again, is it because it never existed?
>>219206914This is NASA, this is the Artemis missions which include missions to land on the moon, build a base on the moon, and build a space station around the moon which will serve as a gas station for orbital launches to Mars. This launch today is the first time NASA has sent humans to lunar orbit in over 50 years, and this launch sets the stage for the next launch which will be a human landing on the moon. Today's launch is magical in every sense.
>>219207073I know the mission. I think the magical moment for me will be the first picture of the moon base.
>>219207072>why wouldn't they just use 1950's technology to launch a rocket in 2026?
>>219205704they would have to go at night so as not to burn up
>>219207072>Why wouldn't they just use Saturn V againnazi connotations
They're doing this on April Fools? No one will believe it.
>>219205552we have never been to the moon. this is fake and gay
>>219207205>there's not a single electronic device in that room that doesn't have at least thousands of times the compute power of the first navigational computers leading us into spacereally makes you think :)also, how the fuck did nasa's own stream get copyright struck? lol
>moonthats hardly a space and the fact that we still have to make such preparation to fly to the fucking moon proves that we are not advanced species in 500 years kids will call our era "monkeys that barley left the caves"
Who's the director?>Were faking again
>>219205552I work on Orion as an LM sub, feels pretty good. I’ll be following telemetry live for the proximity ops demo.
>curly hair>big nose>glasses>surname is kochMy jewdar is going off on that woman astronaut though Wikipedia doesn't say anything
>>219205552Why are they doing a moon launch on April 1st?
>>219208114So when the woman pilot crashes into a satellite somehow they have some kind of excuse.
On my Facebook feed NASA turned off comments after 3,000+ flat earthers replied saying there was no launch, no rocket and no moon landingI'm getting really worried about the internet. People don't even argue about opinions anymore, they argue about reality. The Moskva sailed home safe, Netanyahu is dead, earth is flat, 9/11 was CGI, and anyone who acknowledges anything that actually ever occurred is a tranny.
>>219207205I'd fuck that voice
>>219208196Maybe it was always this bad and smartphones gave a voice to it
>>219208196it's not a coincidence that the rise in trutherism coincides perfectly with the browning of the internet
>>219208196what you need to understand is that 99% of viral stuff posted on social media isnt genuine. its bots and trolls fishing for replies, not actual opinions. outrage, specifically designed to reach the largest number of people.the vast majority of people still agrees on reality, but there are nefarious actors trying to muddy the waters in online spaces, because you can do spiritual damage to open societies and it only costs them a buck and a half to do so.you can count with your fingers the number of actual flat earthers living in north america, you will never encounter them in real life, it doesnt represent a significant amount of people, therefore its inconsequential horseshit, on the same level as people drinking their own piss for health reasons.
but i already saw this episode
>>219205552It’s like 5 hours from launch, what’s the point of the thread?
>>219205552I’m very excited.
>>219208423Even five years ago you didn't see schizos drown out absolutely everyone else combined
>>219208133The black guy is actually the pilot
>>219207833Absolutely based.
>>219208336No, social media has made it far, far worse.
>they're not landing on the moonboringwho cares
>>219208658In the next decade or so, research is going to find that schizophrenia is contagious and the primary vector is social media.
>>219208793Yeah but this is the test run for the next mission where they do so.
>>219208706Oh I misunderstood "NASA broadcasting the BBC" then
When are LUNAtics going to address the incredible unlikelihood that the sun and the moon are the same size in the sky?
>>219208844yeah and given the state of NASA it'll be at least a decade until then
>>219208844>>219208793this isn't a repeat of Apollo 11but it's a bit of a repeat of Apollo 8might be frustrating for the astronauts, that they'll be flying above the moon almost as closely as a plane flies above the earthfor reference, here's a photo from Apollo 8, where they also did not land on the moon
>>219208196Really nothing to lose sleep over. People have always been stupid and they always will be
why?
>>219208964is there a chance they will blow up?
>>219208912>incredible unlikelihoodsurvivorship bias.planets that dont have a large moon to stabilize the axis and thus the planet's climate are unlikely to host a civilization in the first place.the world you see and experience is already biased for consciousness, otherwise you wouldnt exist
>>219205552Theyre not even landing broLmaoWhat a jokeAnd people believe they landed on the moon in 1969 with 69kb of data and aluminum foil
>>219205552If Steve isn't covering it, I simply do not care.
>>219205552>Mission to the MOON>I'm supposed to give a shit about this in the year 2026It's not impressive.I'd be impressed if we were going to Pluto or something.
>>219208912whats your explanation?
>>219207073>missions to land on the moonI thought they scrapped those plans
>>219208024Based Iron Sky anon
Those new rockets are comfy as hell
>Sending a Canadian to spaceFor what purpose?
>>219208998Oh yes. And if it happens it'll either happen today or ten days from now when they're reentering the atmosphere.
>>219208976Because it's there.
>>219209155>that captcha workedokay today's prank is all right
>>219208196Yeah but there's still 120k people watching the livefeed 5 hours before launch. That's huge. I thought people didn't care about space anymore.
>>219205774yjk
>>219208912They aren't always the same size, when the moon is in the further part of its orbit it's smaller than the sun
The annoying fagcuntshit thing about this mission is that because of the moon blocking all communications at the far side, the usual suspects will call it fake. all so tiresome
Here is what I am doing, call me a retardojew fuck you. In my curated bonzai tree world of hope and happiness, everything I see today from NASA actually happened. Every interview was genuine, people genuinely want to make this mission a success, any minority I see on screen is there because of MERIT based. I will not feed any trolls or argue. Anything to the contrary of this is assumed Iranian or Chinese until proven White. Godspeed! Also SHALOOOOOM INB4 SHALOOOM RABBI
I'm more excited for next week when Starship goes into orbit for the first time.For comparison, here's the actual astronaut-holding part of the Starship and the Orion, the rocket bit not included.And in defense of the Orion, it's almost twice the size of the tin can Neil Armstrong's crew used in the first place.
>>219207072because the supply chains to build saturn Vs don't exist anymore.
>>219205552Just more distractions to take away retards attention from the Epstein list
>>219205552Yawn. I literally dont care until they physically land there and livestream it, and even then, I only just barely care. What is there to be excited about? Mining business opportunities? That's all that's up there. Man a mission to nuke India instead, it would be more productive.
>>219209549>restarting the actual space program to distract from consensual sex with teenagers
>>219205552>15% of US population>50% of broadcastNO THANKS
it's gonna be awkward when ISS and Artemis will be flying by each other for the next ten days but won't be allowed to talk.
>>219209638lol they gonna be spinning up there for multiple days? i thought this was like a 1 day round trip
>>219205825>>219205992>>219209514>>219207072The Saturn V program was ended in favor of the Space Shuttle and the Space Shuttle was a piece of shit that never delivered on what it promisedThe Shuttle as promised to Richard Nixon and the Air Force would>be able to launch once every two weeks, simply requiring an inspection and refueling>cost $20 million per missionIt would have absolutely revolutionized space travel and seen thousands of people put in orbit and on the moonThe actual Shuttle, as completed and put into service>was maybe able to launch once every nine months, after the entire thing was taken apart and rebuilt from scratch>cost $1.5 billion per mission>40% of them ended up exploding and killing everyone aboardPeople don't hate the Shuttle enough. It got some things done like the ISS and the Hubble, but only because infinite money was shoveled into it, when it should have been capable of doing an order of magnitude more.
>>219209459Orion has the benefit of being able to reach the moon from just one launch, same as how Apollo and Saturn V did it. Whereas Starship would have to sit in orbit and receive 10 or more refueling trips before going there
>>219209053They're the same thing.
Space travel is a waste of money and materials.
>>219209671>>219209638It's a 10 day round trip and it'll be a matter of seconds that it spends anywhere near the ISS.The ISS is "only" 260 miles away from us vertically. Artemis is going 238,000 miles away.
>>219208964They could just land anywayWhat's NASA going to do about it
>>219209690you can see them both at the same time sometimes
>>219205774This could be the cast of a cheesy sci fi horror movie where they all get murdered by a moon ghoul
>>219209703That's why civil rights protestors blockaded Cape Canaveral in 1969, too. They even had a theme song.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=goh2x_G0ct4
>>219209725>Artemis is going 238,000 miles away.lol
>>219205552>NOOOO U STUPID CHUDS NASA ISN'T A MASSIVE SCAM>LOOK WE'RE EVEN GOING BACK 2 THE MOON>April 1st Lmao
Odds something goes wrong?
>>219209679>be able to launch once every two weeks, simply requiring an inspection and refuelingbut what if it didn't pass the inspection every single time?
i hope they take a Rocky plushie along on the trip ^__^
>>219205552We've already been there like 350 times, there's nothing there.
>>219207315Only the fools
>>219209767wait hold on. why does a starving child require 2/3rds as much food as a grown man undergoing rigorous training?
>>219208912im not much of a space man, thinking about it usually makes me feel small and scared of dying but i'd say it's because the sun is further away and biggerbut if they really do appear the same size in spite of all that, that's pretty cool, maybe god does exist
>>219205566>>219205594>sour grapes thirdies seething over the fact ONLY Americans are smart enough and heterosexual enough to go to the moon
>>219205552Gonna be honest, I wouldn’t be surprised if it blew up. Modern Americans are retarded.
>>219208964>cgi photoThey ain't doing shit
>>219209866You never went to the Moon. Nobody is buying that fanfiction anymore.
>>219209780Hey, it's far for people, tiny for space.Last month, the Voyager probe celebrated reaching 16,094,799,105 miles from earth. That's a significant number because it's the distance a ray of light travels in exactly one day.It was launched in 1977.>>219209866We're in a bit of a new race because the Chinese claim they'll be there in 2030. Then again, their moon rocket hasn't seen a prototype launch yet.
>>219209690THE MOON IS JUST THE SUN AT NIGHT
>>219209880Let's see your village's space program, pedro.
>>219209883>cgiThat photo is from December 1968
>>219209117to humiliate the thirdies. a leaf will go to the moon before third world countries like denmark >>219209898>thirdie is also a retard who claims apollo never happenedevery time>>219209909it's not chinamen who are seething. go on /int/ or /pol/. it's thirdoids from DR, brazil, portugal, finland and norway
>>219209755It's a reflection.
Good. One step closer to escape this hellish planet
>>219209977Neither you nor your hypothetical descendants kek will ever leave this planet. The elites will leave and leave you to die in the ruined wastes they made of this world.
>>219209177Kekked and chekked.
They’ll probably explode is as part of some weird mass trauma ritual thing again. I’ll tune in at countdown
I know there's no arguing with schizos but I find it interesting that the future Chinese landing is in fact very similar in design and mission plan to the allegedly fictional landing in 1969. The Mengzhou and Lanyue look and work essentially the same way the Apollo CSM and LEM did.Kubrick must have been ahead of his time.
>>219209977The planet is not the problem, people are, and if you had to leave this planet it would be with other people, so you'll never truly escape hell
>>219209928> Let's see your village's space program, pedro.
>>219210024Do the secret service guard astronauts?
>>219210007I know. It's still preferable to just killing ourselves once a critical resources runs out
I dont think it will explode but it will fail to return and be stuck in moon orbit or something like that
>>219210054>no YOU'RE brown!!!!Awe-inspiring comeback, senor.
>>219209679I absolutely agree.
>>219209952okay you convinced me
>>219206180For what?
>>219209748Only Ed Baldwin would have the balls.
>>219210007crabs in a bucket mentality
Shit, I think I'm gonna have to watch Apollo 13 again
