@andylehti @MarnerJoshua @TVDadsdotcom @kmtildsley @WilliamShatner You're right, landing with robots IS far different than landing with humans. Which is why NASA switched to robots after they stopped receiving a blank check every year and had to settle for what they could afford. They are much cheaper

@MarnerJoshua @TVDadsdotcom @kmtildsley @WilliamShatner I'm talking about landing on the Moon. You're conflating the second with the first.

Did you see the India photos taken by its satellite moon orbiter of the first two moon landings (Apollo 11 & 12?)👇🏻 🤔I suppose the craycray deniers are going to suggest we sent them up there back in the 60’s and 70’s just in case someone in the future wanted to check. 🙄🥱

@hunt4752 @StPistacchio @AhmadFPR Honestly was not aware of that and it's pretty good to hear. Terrorism is inexcusable but it doesn't develop in a vacuum and I can understand why poor young angry people can become attracted to it. If he really believes what he's saying and puts action behind it that's impactful

He went prison and met some American librarians, became genuinely turned and his main enemies were always Assad and Iran anyway. Gave US intelligence locations of terrorists and ensured not to allow any terrorist activities against foreign nations. Grew in popular and had an in with the US. Ever wondered how US knew abu bakr al baghdadis location? This information is coming from an Al qaeda member turned MI6

Ahmad El Sharaa remains the most absurd unexplainable event/character that happened in this part of the world in the past 50 years

@StPistacchio @AhmadFPR Would not be as hard to comprehend if said person wasn't literally a senior member of one of the worst terror groups lmao

@AhmadFPR Guy learning that religious fanatism and endless conflicts are detrimental to a country development is not unexplainable, is quite logical The problem is that this is a rare phenomenon in the middle east

@bigmonkeong Only people with no media or political literacy talk like this

do you think nasa would actually spend billions of dollars to get one person back from space if it was real life

@Dad2Earthlings @latestinspace Are you mad other countries don't fund the US Army too?

@latestinspace Here's the problem, once again the US is funding everything

🚨 Bill Nye and hundreds of Planetary Society members are heading to DC next week to protest the White House's proposal to slash NASA's science budget • 47% cut to NASA science funding — 23% cut to the agency's overall budget • Would be the largest single-year budget cut in NASA's history • These cuts were announced during the Artemis II mission (via @exploreplanets)

@dprovenzanosc @GuntherEagleman "The crew was moved to tears seeing the far side of the Moon — the first humans in this generation to witness it that way." Gotta read the whole sentence bud

@GuntherEagleman I'm so sick of people saying the Artemis were the first to see the far side of the moon. It's not true. Apollo 8 was the first to see the far side of the moon in 1968, followed by Apollo 10 though 17 from 1969 to 1972.

🚨 ARTEMIS II ASTRONAUTS SPILL THE BEANS Reid Wiseman just dropped some raw details from the historic Moon mission: - The Orion toilet had a clogged vent line that limited “urine events” (NASA speak for having to pee) and turned waste into crystalline problems in space. - A smoke alarm suddenly went off 80,000 miles from Earth during reentry prep, things got tense fast. - The crew was moved to tears seeing the far side of the Moon — the first humans in this generation to witness it that way. Despite the hiccups, Wiseman said they could strap Artemis III on the rocket tomorrow and the crew would be ready to fly. They launched as friends and returned as best friends. Pure American excellence. God bless these heroes

@mjfmct @LevedadDelSerch @intrstellarisms Read his comment again

@LevedadDelSerch @intrstellarisms Yes. The 2 bracelets with 8 water beads means the 8th element.

another scene from #projecthailmary that i love. by this point in the film, grace and rocky had only just met and didn’t trust each other, which is why grace rejects him at first then rocky gives him the purest, kindest gift to receive from an alien; the ability to breathe.

@YetiMoose @Mars51stState @lezzymcgu1re @Big12Commenter2 It is dumb to be ignorant and loud about it though

@Mars51stState @lezzymcgu1re @Big12Commenter2 It's not dumb to be unaware, she just needs to learn about it. It's not like her conclusion was illogical. If it was a fixed rather than marginal rate she would have been right.

"This is so silly of her" no y'all its just legal tax evasion

@MrMcScooter2u The Canadarm was a valuable piece of technology, but let's not act like the country that invented moon travel has problems with a basic robotic arm that only a country with no spacefaring capability of its own miraculously came to the rescue with.

This is the Canadarm. Without it, the U.S. space program would be nowhere. Sit and spin, you deplorable Trunt.

@dmacpher @MrMcScooter2u @notncalgary The lunar gateway program was scrapped

@MrMcScooter2u @notncalgary Also why Jeremy is on board, Canada committed to building a new arm for the Lunar Gateway station, in exchange Canada got seats for our astronauts.

@Partisan_12 And nothing of value was lost

Trump to cut off all trade with Spain, for israel..

@RealJayLotta @JacobAShell No, you can't actively derail progress and then celebrate publicly when it inevitably happens

@JacobAShell So, he can't celebrate the crew and the mission personnel when a different administration changes courses?

Didn't Obama cancel a "return to the moon" mandate for NASA? I vaguely remember outer space nerds in like 2010 were upset.

@thefactualprep SpaceX had ZERO involvement with the Artemis mission. I like SpaceX but we don't have to lie just to defend them

spacex was heavily involved in the artemis mission

@ClassicColonist @passcoderonald Gas prices are not "insane." It's like a dollar more. Stop hating America and get a life

@passcoderonald You people are fucking retarded. Netanyahu has us sending MORE troops to the Middle East, gas/food prices are INSANE. "Year of the Patriot.." what a joke.

Year of the patriot

@VoiceOfArrakis @WilliamsSeminem @greg16676935420 You actually think the SLS, which was incepted in the 2010s, was somehow around in the 60s?

@WilliamsSeminem @greg16676935420 Haven't you done enough testing since the 1960s? LOL 😆

So did the astronauts just go to the moon to make sure it was still there or what was the purpose of the mission

@DJSnM @slavey You mean the Delta-V!

@slavey The upper stage based on the Delta IV upper stage.

So the capsule is recovered, the crew are flying to home. Artemis III is the next flight, ideally in spring 2027 to hit the planned 10 month cadence, and there's a lot to do: * The core booster is about to leave the factory * SRB segments are rolling into KSC * The Mobile Launch Tower Needs repairs (again) * NASA needs to either use its last ICPS, or identify substitutes (like structural test articles) * Lockheed need to deliver an Orion spacecraft ahead of schedule. * KSC needs to stack all this. * SpaceX & Blue Origin need to get HLS hardware in orbit for the test. * Axiom should deliver suits for testing. * And of course, NASA needs to select some astronauts for this test flight. In the meantime the moon will be visited by multiple landers from US providers under the CLPS program, hopefully most of them make soft landings on their legs.

@WesOlesen @o2bcd8ed @GOP You get mad someone calls you antisemitic and then admit you're antisemitic? Also if you're not Jewish you're a goy, so I don't know why your mad Jews think you're not Jewish

@o2bcd8ed @GOP Oh fuck off. That's such a victim strategy by screaming "antisemitism" anytime somebody criticizes Israeli genocide of innocent people, like 20,000 kids in Gaza & civilians in southern Lebanon. The Talmud clearly states that Jewish bigots hate Christians and think we are goyim.

Wishing a Happy Passover to all who celebrate! Chag Sameach

@zeugma_amp @hajime20250823 That's all Nixon's fault

@ThePopcornRider @hajime20250823 Only the U.S. government would spend a billion dollars on a rocket and let it sit on the ground and rust for decades

テキサス在中、テキサスに住みたい皆！NASAに行ってきました！感想は「全てがデカすぎる！」ってこと。NASA内の移動は、定期的に来るカーゴのような乗り物に乗りますが、私は毎回大柄なアメリカ人が隣に座っていました。アメリカ人もでかいし、ロケットもでかいし敷地もバカ広い。アメリカすげーよ。

@zeugma_amp @hajime20250823 I think technically it has components from 18, 19, and 20, but that's correct that it was real parts intended to fly

@hajime20250823 One important thing to keep in mind in mind when looking at the rocket laying on the ground in Houston is that it is not a mock-up. That saturn V was originally intended to be Apollo 19

@hajime20250823 To those who haven't seen in person, the diameter of each rocket engine on the right of the image is about double the height of a person
