@ThePrimalDino A cheap way for Isaacman to throw away an SLS to make sure the inventory is used up before he leaves office

Seems to be confirmed that AIII is LEO mission.
One step closer…

Artemis III if it was REALLY cool

@ThePrimalDino Jared is such a great Administrator. He’s gonna make SLS launch more. He’s going to make Pluto a planet again. He’s not a butthead. (@SenJohnKennedy to @NASAAdmin "We need more people like you in government. We have too many buttheads.")

During our recent #NASASocial at #NASAMichoud, the group got the chance to take a short drive over to @NASAStennis! They viewed the RS-25 engines that will be used for Artemis III, IV, and V and toured the test stand where these engines are hot fire tested!

@SkyEmpiren @go4gordon He's gonna ignore it and continue demolition

Representative Brian Babin (R-TX) questions Jared Issacman on proposed cuts to SLS/Orion
"The administration is once again proposing transitioning away from SLS/Orion even without alternative operational systems"
"I certainly hope you will finish the second mobile launch platform"

It amuses me that people think this "standardized" version of SLS will increase cadence alone, while lacking a second tower and funding to make it possible. Call your reps, this can still be stopped. #ArtemisII

@PumpDotFunGuy @NASA_Events @NASAArtemis @NASA_Marshall @NASA *the last few Artemis flights. Ain't any more after AV bud
English
Enjoyed the rest of my time at MAF, Stennis Space Center, and Rocketdyne. Got to see the RS-25 engines for the next few Artemis flights (not pictured)! #NASASocial

@ThePrimalDino @nyoomtm When's that next order for cores happening then? Needs to be this year or next
English
@LucasHMMixtape @nyoomtm going on 15 years without getting canceled.

SLS vs. Saturn V, a real time comparison.
Saw a comparison yesterday using my video on the left at 50% speed. Here's a proper comparison with both rockets launching at their real speeds.
You'll notice SLS is significantly faster off the pad because of the dual massive SRBs!
English
@ThePrimalDino @nyoomtm It gets cancelled so fast

@fuzzy1477 @ThePrimalDino @LucasHMMixtape SpaceX has gotten to orbit over 600 times in the last 10 years, Starship is not some shot in the dark. Its an evolution of proven success. Except its also an insane radical cutting edge design that has never even been tested similarly before. But now, its finally ready for IOC

Artemis II hasn’t even landed yet and a Lunar lander is heading to Florida
Blue Origin@blueorigin
Endurance has successfully completed thermal vacuum chamber (TVAC) testing! We're now preparing for our lunar lander's return to Florida.

@conspiracyslyr Some of the last SRBs ever to be delivered
English
The SRB aft skirt segments for Artemis III SLS have arrived at a rail yard near KSC

@ThePrimalDino I mean if you know that Congress plans to continue SLS/Orion and make sure Jared isn't gonna siphon the funds into a bank account - then I think you should say so I can sleep at night
English
I’d be 100% on board with SLS centaur if centaur allows Orion to do LLO. Does anyone know if the extra propellant of the centaur is enough to get Orion into LLO after TLI burn completion? Because that would actually be a bit of a game changer and I’d totally see the vision there.
English
@ThePrimalDino There is still is no plan to continue SLS after A5. Unless you are seriously in contact with half of Congress you need to drop this dream of SLS existing in a few years, let alone what Upper Stage it has.
English
My thought process is: ICPS is a lot smaller than Centaur, and has only enough fuel to get Orion to TLI.
Centaur is way bigger than ICPS, and thus would have leftover performance after TLI (since SLS would put it fully fueled into LEO)
Thus the question becomes: is what remains enough to do LLO insertion, where ESM would then do EO Insertion.
Anyone done the math on this?
English
@brickmack @ThePrimalDino Exactly. This was all planned. I don't know why people can't see this
English
@ThePrimalDino @LucasHMMixtape They will be in the next budget, and there is a mutual understanding between NASA admin, the White House, and Congress that this will happen
English
My personal opinion here is that NASA needs to save that ICPS for Artemis IV. Who knows how long it will actually take centaur to get configured if that does end up happening. Such a thing could end up significantly delaying our Moon landing.
Use the ICPS and LVSA STAs or some kind of spacer, but save the real hardware for the mission that needs to go TLI.

Artemis II has just successfully launched, and humans are now on their way back to the moon! However, how is Artemis III progressing? The SRBS are already in transit, and the rest of the core with the RS-25s is expected to arrive this month! NET 2027 is the launch date!
English
@ThePrimalDino Congress cancelled ML-2, EUS and Gateway. Congress can't be relied on to save SLS
English
@LucasHMMixtape How do you plan on getting people to the Moon if you don’t have a TLI stage.
Also SLS is done when Congress says it’s done. And I’m going to keep fighting for more flights. The game isn’t over yet
English
@ScottLikedSLS @ThePrimalDino Boeing can do it but they need the funds to hire more people. Not consistent budget cuts. You can't just assign a diminishing flat budget and expect improvements
English
@LucasHMMixtape @ThePrimalDino Jared recently said that if Boeing-(implied) commits to high launch cadences that fit goals and bring SLS price down then they can quite happily continue Using SLS but thats what needs to happen first.
English
@ThePrimalDino Lol and NASAs budget is gonna get absolutely obliterated today
English
It’s been a long time since we’ve had this view out a spaceship
English
@catalinafrog @ThePrimalDino We're gonna have a capability gap again no doubt
English
One of these days you’ll learn to stop saying that.
LukeDanger@LukeDanger
@ThePrimalDino Yeah…too bad it’s the last time it will ever fly. HLS FOR THE WIN!!
English
@ThePrimalDino @catalinafrog I hope so but they just keeled over and let EUS, Gateway and ML-2. So forgive me for not having much trust in Congress at the moment
English
@LucasHMMixtape @catalinafrog But something tells me Congress might!
English
@catalinafrog @ThePrimalDino They'll have to be quick. Once A5 core is finished in around 2 years, all the workers will disperse
