Why tf did my dad just invite the butcher from price choper over for steak

@stellarxlmstar @konstructivizm They literally arent. This is a dogshit composite and not a real photo. If you look at the photos nasa is taking, you can actually see them getting biews of the side of the moon. Views we cant get from Earth

I love how they planned out, taking far away shots on purpose, and then zooming in a little and zooming in a little bit more and then a little bit more to make it look like they’re getting closer. That’s so funny. We can literally do the same thing with a Samsung S 22 from the surface of the Earth.

The moon keeps getting bigger, Only 80,000 miles to go! Right now, that is the incredible reality for the four astronauts aboard the Artemis II mission. With only 80,000 miles left to go, the crew has officially entered the "quiet transit" phase of their journey. The Earth has shrunk to a fragile blue marble behind them, and the Moon has become the absolute dominant feature. Source: NASA / CSA / Artemis II Mission Tracker

@BullsvsBearMan @CuriosityonX What sucks is thay this specific phot probably is fake. Theyre not close enough to the moon yet too look like that. And by the time they are itll be more of a side view. The moon in this pic is what we see from Earth, but they wont have this view.

@CuriosityonX People will legitimately say this is fake 🤦‍♂️

🚨: The Moon is getting bigger and bigger......... just 60,000 miles left! Artemis II is getting really close now.

"Thanks to you and to the whole team on the ground for building on our Apollo legacy with Artemis." In addition to a wake-up song this morning, the Artemis II astronauts were treated to an audio message from Apollo 16 astronaut Charlie Duke.

@aimetheon2046 @Birch_TBarlow @SunWeatherMan They were testing docking by approaching the upper stage after they separated. He was manually flying it then.

@Birch_TBarlow @SunWeatherMan no idea

ARTEMIS II - Notes on the issues so far Toilet and Microsoft outlook issues occurred during impact from the CME plasma - not conclusive, but we're suffering another coincidence. Both now fixed. The chick fixed the plumbing... The white geek had to call home for computer help... Meanwhile, the nigga is up there executing precise burns and flight control to perfection and there is a nearly 100% score on their orbital trajectory right now... matching the peak "success" of any previous mission at this point. ...figures.

I have decided it’s actually an osprey. Everyone go home

We see our home planet as a whole, lit up in spectacular blues and browns. A green aurora even lights up the atmosphere. That's us, together, watching as our astronauts make their journey to the Moon.

If you told 14 year old me that I would be working on shuttle style TPS and SLS was carrying people to the moon, I dont actually think I would believe you. I'm excited to see how we continue to grow from here. Go Integrity!

I became really interested in spaceflight when i was a freshman in highschool. That was in 2013, only a couple years after this program started and when SLS was still painted white. To think 13 years later I would see it would carry people to the moon is like a dream.

“We do these things not because they are easy, but because they are hard.” Godspeed, Artemis II.

@TheWand36470391 @RichWWilliams @plastikspork @XFreeze I would say hot structure is harder to analyze to a level that works reusably, but it does give you a higher likelihood of holding itself together when things go poorly.

@TheWand36470391 @RichWWilliams @plastikspork @XFreeze The other part thats causeing issues is having exposed stainless steel on the leeward side of it. Having exposed hot structure means you have to do a lot higher fidelity analysis to ensure you dont have burn through.

Everyone thought the future was carbon fiber Elon Musk looked at the physics and chose stainless steel for Starship instead Sounds insane.... until you realize stainless gets stronger at cryogenic temperatures, handles reentry heat better, and costs massively less than advanced composites. It doesn't even need paint He chose a material that is faster to build, easier to weld, tougher in extreme conditions, and built for rapid iteration Classic Elon: ignore convention, trust first-principles engineering, and pick the solution everyone else missed He is taking science fiction and making it real. Building things that only existed in imagination, and pushing them to the absolute limits of physics

@TheWand36470391 @RichWWilliams @plastikspork @XFreeze This is actually how the metalic heat shield proposed for x33 wouldve worked. They were able to reduce the thermal stresses enough in the exposed metal to allow them to grow and weaken a lot, but not melt or break

@TheWand36470391 @RichWWilliams @plastikspork @XFreeze What caused the structure to melt on Columbia was the direct contact between the primary structure and the hot gas. If you can prevent that somehow its enough to hold things together. You can overheat the aluminum skins under the tile and make them very soft without destroying it

@savag57785 @NASAAdmin What makes you think we would need to launch from the poles? We fly it into an inclination to get around it, so it doesnt really matter where you launch from.

@DylanB_70 @NASAAdmin I disagree. Radiation is worse in deep Space. The only way to avoid the Van Allen Belt is to launch from either the Arctic or Antarctic. And we don't. And never have with manned vehicles. Don't you get it. Someone, don't ask me who, is lying. I want it to be true sooo much.

We are going back 🇺🇸

@savag57785 @NASAAdmin No, the belts concentrate the radiation so its higher than the space beyond them

@DylanB_70 @NASAAdmin Doesn't the radiation get much worse after leaving the Van Allen Belts?

@savag57785 @NASAAdmin You can see in this graphic, that because the belts are donut shaped you can actually just fly around the highest radiation regions. The blue lines are rhe apollo trajectory

@savag57785 @NASAAdmin So in deep space there IS quite a bit of radiation, but not enough to straight up kill you. What people like to focus on are the van allen belts. Theyre donut shaped concentrations of radiation caused by the earth's magnetic field concentrating solar radiation into a small space.
