@go4gordon As soon as he opened his mouth I knew only bullshit would come out of it. He along with everyone that supports this and the OMB must be stopped.

Notably, Lofgren added "you weren't in charge, you didn't make this decision, and I won't ask you to defend the decisions of your predecessors," yet Jared defended it anyways.

Representative Zoe Lofgren (D-CA) grills Jared Issacman on NASA’s decision to follow the Trump administration’s budget request rather than Congress "This email is really smoking gun evidence that NASA implemented the PBR last year without congressional approval" "Adherence to the proposal is not what the law requires"

@FriccenFriend @Sir_Benedict_S @Angel_Uki More than anyone ever stayed on ISS which receives constant resupplies every few months.

@Sir_Benedict_S @Angel_Uki "only"

A crewed Venus flyby a la Apollo Applications is like, fairly feasible using Artemis hardware. Honestly I think it'd be a fair step up in ambition after the base is built up.

@Aidendonut @conspiracyslyr @mcrs987 Not changing the tune every 4 to 8 years, not canceling and/or crippling programs does a lot more than just funding. They plan decades ahead and stick to it.

@_FrankyPi @conspiracyslyr @mcrs987 Because they actually fund their space program

Babe wake up bi-annual "we maybe found more evidence of life on mars but we can't directly say that"

@conspiracyslyr @mcrs987 China will do it.

@mcrs987 We really need a sample return mission

@viciykevin @NASAAdmin @NASARoman @NASA @NASAGoddard @NASAUniverse @NASAScience_ His legacy will also be the crippling and likely cancelation of Artemis program as a result of the brainless haphazard plan that makes the old one look like child's play.

@NASAAdmin @NASARoman @NASA @NASAGoddard @NASAUniverse @NASAScience_ If its such a great mission that was AHEAD of schedule and UNDER budget why did the white house you represent try multiple times to cancel it? The arson to NASA science that is ongoing is happening under your watch and you're supporting it...that will be your legacy

The Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope is in final preparations for an early September launch, eight months AHEAD of schedule and UNDER budget. This milestone is the result of more than a decade of dedication and millions of hours of work by NASA and our industry partners. Their commitment is what’s making this moment possible and helping drive Gold Standard Science. Roman will help answer some of the biggest questions in science, investigating dark matter, dark energy, and the structure of the universe. Its images will be so large and detailed, there isn’t a screen in existence big enough to display them. This is just the beginning.

@HYeahBrother @PebMet1 @elonmusk Dead wrong as I said before, everything is connected, maybe you realize it once the program either gets canceled or derailed and delayed for a while until it gets back on track with projects that were foolishly and naively discarded, unless it is reversed before it's too late.

@_FrankyPi @PebMet1 @elonmusk SLS serves no purpose in any plan more ambitious than flag planting.

This is a fact. If we listened to all of the @elonmusk and starship supporters who said we should scrap SLS and Orion for Starship, we would still be waiting for a mission to the moon instead of the 2 which have already successfully completed.

@HYeahBrother @PebMet1 @elonmusk I see you completely missed the entire point of what I said. Maybe you won't once you see what this haphazard plan does to the program.

@_FrankyPi @PebMet1 @elonmusk The program already relies on not using SLS for creating free base, supplying it, and doing crew rotations at a healthy rate. SLS is worse than pointless

@rogerhere @elvaca_lao @brianorca @BrewerSan @ShorealoneFilms They did try a very similar design in both material and construction as Apollo back in 2014 for Orion's first test flight EFT-1, they discovered it was flexing too much as Orion is a lot bigger, and manufacturing process was extremely tedious, so they switched to block design.

@elvaca_lao @brianorca @BrewerSan @ShorealoneFilms Nothing fishy. They used the same stuff, Avcoat, but the heat shield was constructed in a different way with it, and unexpected results happened.

(2) The NASA ORION capsule Integrity finally back to land seen here returning to Navel Base San Diego. The heat shield and thermal protection systems performed as expected. The ship looked great! 04-11-26

@HYeahBrother @PebMet1 @elonmusk You will see exactly why it isn't and you will wish you never supported this crippling of the program.

@_FrankyPi @PebMet1 @elonmusk Poorly reasoned.

@KenKirtland17 @DrChrisCombs Obviously since even Shuttle with TDRSS in geosync had datastream, while all of the crewed capsules have blackouts.

@DrChrisCombs From what I understand it is not speed it is just a scale thing. Big enough to have a gap in the wake right?

I'll be the first to say these views are absolutely incredible But also note that Orion is returning ~50% faster which is part of why Starship doesn't need to worry about the plasma blackout period (Shuttle did not have blackout either)

@HYeahBrother @PebMet1 @elonmusk You can't have a base without astronauts and without all the infrastructure that is needed to support these long duration activities in orbit. Removing Gateway and crippling SLS is asinine and unless it's reversed, it will backfire massively, even risking cancelation of Artemis.

@_FrankyPi @PebMet1 @elonmusk Which SLS serves no part in building dummy.

@viciykevin @HunsakerMiles @DJSnM @SpaceX @blueorigin @Axiom_Space Also, enacting last year's PBR for HSF, canceling EUS, ML-2 and Gateway, thinking that the new, inferior stage will be ready in record time, which if it's even doable will take more funding than EUS and ML-2 combined, most of which is already spent, would be highly hypocritical.

@HunsakerMiles @_FrankyPi @DJSnM @SpaceX @blueorigin @Axiom_Space Supporting the DOGE-lite destruction of NASA Science by cancelling productive missions because the admin is anti-climate science and cutting NASA budgets when NASA generates more value than what is put in compared to other agencies is fumbling his role as an ambassador of NASA

The real space race right now is between @SpaceX, @blueorigin and @Axiom_Space to see who can have their stuff ready for Artemis III.

@pufflefuzz1 @viciykevin @ManaByte Their plan is to test the suits on it regardless.

@viciykevin @ManaByte Artemis 3 isn’t a moon landing mission though so we won’t need the suits. We’d just need the lander. I think Blue Origin is working on a lander, though.

NASA's already getting ready for it. You'll see doomers on here claiming it won't fly next year, but they're already preparing for it. Lets go Artemis III!

@HunsakerMiles @DJSnM @SpaceX @blueorigin @Axiom_Space Exceptional at going along with OMB/DOGE ruining the agency yes. I guess you're going to realize what is being done once the results of all these actions come to fruition in the exact opposite way of what you expected and what they sold as something positive instead of damaging.

@_FrankyPi @DJSnM @SpaceX @blueorigin @Axiom_Space I like the somehow. But what has given you any idea Isaacman will fumble anything? He's been exceptional so far!

@HYeahBrother @PebMet1 @elonmusk Artemis already had a lunar base in plan you dolt.

@PebMet1 @elonmusk Boots and flags on the moon is mostly pointless. We need a base and to be bootstrapping lunar industry. SLS does not facilitate this.

@JeffDethy @DJSnM @KristinFisher @SpaceX @blueorigin @Axiom_Space

@DJSnM @KristinFisher @SpaceX @blueorigin @Axiom_Space If SpaceX is not chosen for Artemis 3, then they will announce a private landing and will execute it before Artemis.

@ScottLikedSLS @ThePrimalDino Maybe she meant from Apollo 17 but didn't specify lol

@ThePrimalDino "Last surviving astronaut to have walked on the moon" What.

Harrison Schmitt - former Apollo 17 Moonwalker on FOX weather command talking about Artemis II

@vertig0nix @Kinghogel The footage you're referring to was recorded and released later, the same will happen now for this mission.

@_FrankyPi @Kinghogel but why.... artemis I was with way better quality/fps ?

Kann mir das Jemand erklären? Laut NASA-Anhänger ist diese Aufnahme unmöglich. Wir reden über eine Kapsel mit 5 Meter Durchmesser. Bin gespannt.

@vertig0nix @Kinghogel What do you mean by "flat earth"? They were dozens of thousands of kilometers away at the start of this clip.

@_FrankyPi @Kinghogel diese spezielle gopro verzerrt aber herrlich praktisch die "gerade erde" ziemlich kugelig...
