@siennapotterz so you think its an insult to be called a lesbian?
thats rather biggoted of you?
many lesbians are proud of their look

Victor Glover (pilot of Artemis II) was already a spacecraft pilot for SpaceX Crew-1. He is a naval captain who has had his naval aviator wings for 25 years. He has three (3) masters degrees, including in flight test engineering and systems engineering. He's been a test pilot since 2007. He has thousands of flight hours.

@Iammarels @MichaelBlaq "He has 43.3 PB"
lol y'all just saying things that ain't true
English
@MichaelBlaq He has 43.3 PB, with his improved performances in the shorter sprints, he can break the world record
English
If he goes sub-20s in the 200m, I'm afraid Van Niekerk's 400m world record is on borrowed period

@marsfoole @memeticsisyphus They are not everywhere. They just get a loud voice on the internet

@memeticsisyphus Dude these fucking people are getting on my last nerve.
This launch has shined a light and the 70IQ cockroaches are everywhere.

@flatsmackin @JohndeVos762831 have you ever used a gps, the tv or even possibly the internet. maybe even a radio in some cases

You can’t fall “around” the earth.
You either fall straight down to the ground, or you fly above it.
You can’t fall sideways.

@TrackGazette Impressive time, but he maybe went a bit too hard given that this was a semi and the lead he had in the last 50m
English
Bayapo Ndori 🇧🇼 clocks 44.69s to lead the men's 400m semis at the Botswana Athletics Championships!

He's in Fred Kerley/Michael Norman/van Niekerk territory with that 100 and 400 combo.

Kudos to the finance degree, genuinely but this is a different domain entirely.
In engineering, the loss of technology isn’t uncommon nor is it inherently catastrophic. The idea that “we lost the ability to go to the moon” sounds stupid to people but it follows a pattern we see all the time. FOGBANK is the example I love to use.
FOGBANK was a classified material essential to the W76 nuclear warhead, a kind of aerogel if you will . Sometime by the 1990’s the warheads were being decommissioned and the facility that produced it (as well as many other ones critical to the warheads lifecycle) was shut down and the small group of specialists (only a few hundred people) retired.
By the early 2000s, when the US government wanted to extend the warhead’s lifecycle, they discovered that the process for producing FOGBANK had effectively been lost.
Recreating it was a fucking disaster . Around hundreds of millions were spent attempting to reverse engineer the material and in doing initially reproduced it too perfectly. The original formulation relied on impurities introduced by older and less refined production methods that were absent in the modern process. Here, modern methods improving the purity stripped the oxide layer making the material nonfunctional. Those “imperfections” were in fact essential. So in essence it took years and hundreds of millions of dollars to approximate what had once been produced routinely.
Returning to the moon isn’t any different. It’s not that it’s impossible it’s that it requires rebuilding an entire ecosystem from the ground up which involves redefining engineering standards, requalifying or replacing vendors capable of extreme precision (many of whom no longer exist), retraining a specialized workforce, integrating modern technologies, and revalidating everything through rigorous testing and safety protocols.
From the outside, it’s easy to assume you can simply “rebuild” and scale it like an assembly line. In reality, the system that made it possible the first time no longer exists.
We can disagree and be skeptical but I don’t like contrarianism for the sake of it .

For what it's worth I have a Master's in Applied Finance -my maths is fine. None of your insults are an argument. You used a picture of the incredible engineering of rockets; something I never have denied because it's extremely obvious that is real and we can all see them working. However, none of that validates the BS they try to pass off as moon landing "evidence". It's as simple as that. You can have reverence for European engineering, as I do, without swallowing the absolute farce that they put in the slopbucket to the normie masses. There are too many inconsistencies and intuitively suspicious informations that don't add up: "We destroyed the technology to go back lol". Couple that with researching the ancient schools of thought and other historical civilizations that had other conceptions of "outer space", speaking of the firmament, the lunar bodies or the realm we inhabit - and you begin to question the narrative they feed us that results in them pocketing billions of dollars. Just like they said you can't question the "Covid" narrative unless you are a doctor etc; its wrong to say that you can't question something that seems suspicious if you're outside of their particular education system. That being said, we're free to disagree, and I'm free to question things, which I will always do if it doesn't seem right to me.

this is the average moon landing denier:
>never applied himself in a technical field
>can’t do basic math problems let alone trigonometry, calculus, linear algebra
>”what’s a vector?”
>has never set foot in an engineering workspace
>never seen a P&ID let alone read one
>never coded
>can’t read a schematic
>confuses mass and weight
>confuses voltage, current, and resistance
>”bernoullis principle?”
>cannot calculate slope between two points
>”I love Ancient Greeks, wrestling naked in the sun. Wait, pythagorean theorem? why would I need that?
>does not understand order of operations
>struggles with exponents and powers
>cannot work with fractions or ratios
>doesn’t know the difference between diameter, circumference and radius of a circle
>essentially mathematically illiterate
>thinks g force is a watch
I’d like to convince you one day about how great of an achievement this was for humanity, Sol.

They want you believe this aluminium foil wrapped hunk of junk went to the moon and back. The amount of fluoride in the brain to swallow this is staggering.

@SolBrah @sainimatic I'm surprised you can read. Also wager you didn't read Orwell lol

You look at the United States today and of course you don't believe they put a man on the moon in 1969
But go watch the Apollo 11 documentary on Amazon
What you'll see is an entirely different country full of people that basically no longer exist today
A serious, focused, rational, and united people with a common goal
They had a pack of tin foil and less computing power than a microwave oven...
But they understood physics
They knew how to build things
And most of all, they had belief
Why wouldn't they?
They were from the country that invented flight itself
If two bike mechanics from the midwest could accomplish something that even the great da Vinci only dreamed of...
Why couldn't a team of the brightest minds in the most powerful country in the world come together to put a man on the moon?
As time goes on, fewer people believe that the scientists and engineers of the 60's actually put a man on the moon
But that says more about our own time than theirs
Go tour the Mont Saint-Michel in France and you'll realize that progress isn't always linear
They built that place 500+ years ago, but no one could imagine us building it today
Yet no one denies it's there.
It sits there as a high watermark in architectural history, reminding us what we are no longer capable of.
The moon landing is a lot easier to deny.
You can't see it with your own eyes.
And what you do see with your own eyes makes it hard to believe it was possible.

@AmazingSpace2 That animation is a lie. The fuel in the SRBs gets used from the bottom up, or more accurately, from the central core out to the walls.

Project Hail Mary was AMAZING
Might just be my new favorite movie ever. It was simply perfect.
I don’t understand the critiques, frankly. Yes, it could have stayed more in line with the source material BUT the core of the book AND film is not the science! It’s the friendship!!
And the film simply nailed this. The unlikeliest, but most beautiful, of friendships is the centerpiece of the book and the film executes this flawlessly. It had me smiling ear to ear throughout.
10/10, what a great movie. Bravo.

@Troyztoys @latestinspace Yes, the emphasis being that they're unmanned.

@latestinspace People are aware that there are unmanned satellites doing the same thing as we speak, right?

Artemis II astronaut Christina Koch is set to become the 1st woman to fly around the moon 🌕

I’ve been thinking nonstop about Project Hail Mary since I saw it on Saturday. It’s been a while since watching a film has impacted me on such a deep, emotional level. I’m still finding myself tearing up about different parts of the movie. I unironically feel like it changed me

@crimatt456 @StuffForSisters Probably that ts is ai or something

@StuffForSisters What are all moon landing deniers going to say when this rocket flys right through the "van alan belt"?

UPDATE: NASA personnel are now carrying Ryan Gosling (sedated) to the launchpad.
