long March 10 is America’s punishment for its hubris around Falcon Heavy

@nark_of there’s like an Amos-6

@Orbital_Perigee so no BAD day? in your 86?

say hi!

@deltaIV9250 anything could have done it we have a space program run by fucking morons who would rather astronauts die and we flounder than make actual progress

@Orbital_Perigee Dual Falcon Heavy can do it tbh

Tbh used to think Bridenstack would never work because ICPS+Orion “only” gives 2700 m/s and you need 3200 m/s for TLI from LEO. But seeing as Orion has some extra margin for entering/exiting NRHO, maybe it’s not totally impossible. Idk.

@deltaIV9250 If you just were like. A competent national program. you could have extended F9S2 a bit and it would have solved this

@deltaIV9250 500 m/s is not some margin lmao

@nark_of more like 1986

@Orbital_Perigee about STS-2?

@nark_of lunar would be a bit later

@Orbital_Perigee back in 1981?

imagine being such a fucking idiot you propose the integrated program plan during the Nixon administration. Paine should be remembered alongside Shelby

@Cmdr_Hadfield please write an Apollo murders sequel or something I think I’m starving

if anyone says “ai fixes this” or some derivative therof I’m gonna Get you

anyone who could write a great sci fi story set in a relatively realistic starship based mars colony is utterly repulsed by the AT GROCK IS THIS TRUE??? Generate me STUDIO JIGGLY MARS AND CSAM types that make up 80% of the “dunning Kruger” space crowd this annoys me

@deltaIV9250 yep!

Seeing as centaur first flew on Saturn I, does this mean SLS-Centaur has Saturn heritage?

this is what the house armed services committee actually believes

I love all of you deeply but sometimes I need to reach through the screen and Rattle some of you mfs

Can't contain my excitement for the #ProjectHailMary movie, so here's a little treat - when I saw the official poster for the movie, I knew I had to do my own take, with the designs based on descriptions from the original book by Andy Weir. Blender & Photoshop, 2026. #noAI

read a whole book today it was kinda mid but the author occasionally had an absolute banger

wonder if that one engine stays on a little bit longer on f9 to help with the flip

@ChadDude301 LMFAO

Me when I have to remove moots shop from my main profile page because he’s gone full brainrot and ruining a hobby I love

I have to wonder, why would a person with this view of humans care if humans explore the cosmos, make settlements outside of earth or "expand the light of consciousness"? Its just slop. Wouldn't sending some GPU's with a local LLM be better?

@astronomy1002 Bad news Cro I am no longer at college

@Orbital_Perigee Time send a missile to your collage dorm

it should be noted that the first U.S. craft to rendezvous were Gemini 6 and Gemini 7. six sevennnnnnnnn
