@HansMahncke I’ve seen basketball players dunk a lot in my life but I still clap when they do it.

Seeing a lot of tweets that show people don’t realize everything Artemis 2 is doing, including calculating slingshot trajectories with no margin for error, was already done in 1968 and repeated multiple times afterward, including in 1970 when they had to recalculate and execute a new trajectory 150,000 miles from Earth with engines that weren’t designed for it because part of the spacecraft had exploded. All of this was done with computers that had 100,000 times less memory and 1,000 times less processing power than an iPhone. It’s great that it’s being done again, but the real mind blowing thing is that the exact same thing was done 58 years ago with far less technology.

@robertgraham You ask questions at the end of meetings, don’t you

"farther than ever before" is nonsense.
Yes, it's farther from Earth -- but also farther from the Moon than any previous Moon mission. Getting close to the Moon, like orbiting it, is harder than simply going around the Moon. It's not a proud achievement but a disappointment.

Nominal translunar injection burn complete. The Artemis II crew is officially on the way to the Moon. America is back in the business of sending astronauts to the Moon. This time, farther than ever before.

@tsarlet2 i can't say for sure but they do have a woman on board

I'm an orbitalmechanicslet so maybe a dumb question, but why did Artemis do its TLI all the way out to the side and not at perigee?
English
@sarbjitkaur1 This is a good thread to add people to the commie lists
English
The level of trust in the technology by the NASA team is remarkable when you remember that the translunar injection burn must be just right to hit the exact spot where the Moon will be 4 days later, because if not, your spaceship cannot sustain you long enough to get home again.

Our Artemis II crew will be going around the Moon, but they'll always find their way back home 🌎 During this complex journey, the four astronauts will travel ~685,000 miles on a trajectory around the Moon and back to Earth. See their daily agenda: go.nasa.gov/4bw1ddt

@EsotericCD The worst thing I’ve ever tasted. If I had to try it so do you
English
I'll point out that people are responding with things like "it's an umami explosion" and "it tastes like brown bits in the pan after cooking a burger on the range" and "it tastes like cigarette butts" and NONE of this dissuades me.
This might actually be a weird taste I like.

Has anyone out there had "vegemite" and it is secretly grand? Or is it just as off-putting as it seems?

@jpraffarin But aren’t you directing ill will at my President now? Which you’re not allowed to do according to …. you

Trump devrait savoir que toute malveillance vis à vis de notre Président est une attaque portée contre la France. Quelque soit notre opinion quant au Président nous sommes les seuls à pouvoir le critiquer sans porter atteinte à notre nation.

Decided to watch some police body cams today..
Tiger Woods… hits a trailer in a residential area flips car sideways. Claims he looked down at his phone and bang. He’s Asked to do field sobriety test, Blows 0.00 and gets arrested for a DUI.
Vince McMahon… drives over 100mph on the freeway, wrecks into a car. He’s Issued a misdemeanor citation for reckless driving. No breathalyzer, no sobriety test and no arrest. What do you think the difference is between the 2?

@scs_real This is like me saying it’s a fairly straightforward transesophageal ultrasonogram

I don't have to imagine it. Fairly straight forward orbital mechanics.

Imagine the math required to make this guess and aim 4 people at a point in space

@RickCanon @HellenTrax4329 One of the astronauts posted a demonstration video if you’re so inclined to find it
English
So, does anyone else wonder how four people crammed in a small space use the toilet in space? Inquiring minds want to know 🤔

@BullandBaird I’m surprised there aren’t more math nerds yelling about the word “guess”

@Strangeland_Elf Even in triumph, humans will find a way to complain about stuff

If this is a serious question it sure is a stupid one.

Not only does he register the feedback, he addresses it head on. This is everything I’ve been waiting 40 years for

I am proud of the NASA team, and we will never stop elevating our game. SpaceX mission streaming is top notch. They have had a few hundred launch opportunities to dial it in. As we improve our launch cadence - I promise we will improve the streaming coverage along with it. In the interim, Artemis II is headed to the Moon.

@EmmanuelMacron I’ll tell you what. That first sentence is spectacular

Il est des moments où l’Histoire reprend son souffle et montre à l’Humanité l’horizon de sa grandeur.
Avec Artemis II, plus de cinquante ans après Apollo 17, la Lune redevient ce rendez-vous des peuples qui mettent en commun et qui osent.
Français, Européens, nous pouvons être fiers de participer à cette aventure extraordinaire en ayant un rôle clé grâce au module de service européen développé par l’ESA.
Félicitations aux équipes de la NASA et de l’ESA pour ce lancement réussi. Nous allons suivre de près toute la suite. Dans l’espace aussi, notre destin s’écrit par l’ambition, la souveraineté et l’unité.

Almost no one, except millions of schoolchildren, because one of the astronauts was a teacher.
There's a reason it's a generation X trauma more than any other. Not only were we watching live, we'd spent weeks doing "teacher in space" activities ahead of it, and some of us even dressed up that day.
We literally shared classrooms so everyone could see it, gaslighting fuck.
Dave W Plummer@davepl1968
99.9% of people who "experienced" the Challenger disaster saw it on replay and now remember it as live. Almost NO ONE was watching. Everyone thinks they were. It's a fascinating collective false memory.

The moon has long been a shared locus of imagination and significance for Indigenous peoples. With the return of lunar missions, it is now a frontier for industry. Writer Michelle Cyca explores the economic and colonial logics shaping this transformation. thewalrus.ca/with-the-artem…
