@konstructivizm Yet another lie from @konstructivizm. SpaceX's HLS lunar lander has not yet been built, and it won't look anything like that photo.

18 May 2026 – HISTORIC MILESTONE: NASA’s Future Moon Lander is Taking Shape at Starbase! SpaceX engineers are in full throttle, conducting critical testing on the Starship Human Landing System (HLS) — the powerhouse vehicle chosen to return humans to the lunar surface for the first time in over half a century.Specially built for Artemis missions, this lunar-optimized Starship features reinforced landing legs engineered for the Moon’s gravity, precision descent thrusters for pinpoint touchdowns, and advanced crew-support systems ready for the harsh environment of deep space and the lunar surface.This isn’t just another prototype — it’s the spacecraft that will carry astronauts down to the Moon, serve as their home on the surface, and blast them back to lunar orbit.The countdown to humanity’s return to the lunar South Pole is accelerating. The future is being built right now in Texas. Tag a friend who’s hyped for Artemis! Like if you can’t wait to see boots back on the Moon! Share the excitement!

@konstructivizm James Lovell died August 7, 2025, more than nine months ago. Why are you "announcing" his death now as if it had just happened?

James Lovell, the legendary astronaut who turned near-disaster into one of history’s greatest survival stories, has died at the age of 97.A veteran of four historic missions, Lovell was NASA’s ultimate spacefarer in the daring early days of human exploration. He flew Gemini VII and Gemini XII, then made two epic journeys to the Moon aboard Apollo 8 and Apollo 13—logging more than 715 hours in space and etching his name into the pantheon of American heroes.In December 1968, Lovell, along with Frank Borman and William Anders, pulled off the impossible: they became the first humans to leave Earth’s orbit, travel a quarter-million miles to the Moon, and circle it on Christmas Eve. Their breathtaking photographs of the fragile blue Earth rising over the barren lunar horizon changed how humanity saw itself forever and paved the way for the lunar landings that followed.But it was Apollo 13 in April 1970 that immortalized Lovell. What began as a routine lunar landing mission turned into a life-or-death thriller when an oxygen tank exploded 200,000 miles from Earth. The spacecraft lost power, water, and oxygen. With the lunar module serving as a makeshift lifeboat, Lovell’s calm, razor-sharp leadership became the crew’s lifeline. For six agonizing days, he and his crew—Fred Haise and Jack Swigert—fought freezing temperatures, rising carbon dioxide, and a crippled ship, executing one improvised miracle after another with Mission Control. Against all odds, they slung around the Moon and splashed down safely in the Pacific Ocean.That harrowing journey didn’t just save three lives—it became a global masterclass in ingenuity, courage, and cool-headed problem-solving under the harshest conditions imaginable.After leaving NASA, Lovell remained a passionate advocate for space exploration. His story inspired best-selling books, award-winning documentaries, and the blockbuster 1995 film Apollo 13, where Tom Hanks delivered an unforgettable performance as the unflappable commander.Jim Lovell embodied the fearless spirit of the Space Age: the willingness to stare into the void, the grit to overcome catastrophe, and the quiet heroism that defines true explorers. A trailblazer, a survivor, and an American icon—his legacy will continue to inspire dreamers and adventurers for generations to come.

@konstructivizm "Planet Nine—the long-sought hidden world—has finally been found." No, it hasn't, you liar.

Far beyond the frozen edge of our Solar System, whispers are spreading like wildfire: Planet Nine—the long-sought hidden world—has finally been found. But hold your breath. Despite the viral excitement claiming it as the first new planet discovered since Neptune in 1846, there is still no official confirmation from NASA or any major astronomical institution. The discovery remains unverified… for now.The Planet Nine hypothesis is very real, however, and it refuses to die. First proposed in 2016 by Caltech astronomers Konstantin Batygin and Mike Brown, it emerged from a cosmic mystery: something massive is herding distant Kuiper Belt objects into strange, clustered orbits far beyond Neptune, in the icy darkness between 30 and 50 times Earth’s distance from the Sun.If it truly exists, Planet Nine is no ordinary world. Scientists estimate it as a super-Earth—a massive, mysterious planet 5 to 10 times Earth’s mass—lurking in an impossibly wide orbit that takes between 10,000 and 20,000 years to complete a single lap around the Sun. At such extreme distances, it would be a cold, dark ghost, barely reflecting sunlight and nearly impossible to spot with current telescopes.Astronomers have hunted relentlessly. Powerful instruments like the Subaru Telescope and cutting-edge infrared surveys have scoured the skies… yet the planet remains elusive. No direct image. No smoking gun. Some researchers suggest the strange orbits could be explained by observational bias or swarms of smaller objects, keeping the debate fiercely alive.Still, the hunt continues. Every new observation peels back another layer of the Solar System’s outer frontier, reminding us how much remains unknown in our own cosmic backyard. Somewhere out there, in the endless night between the known planets and interstellar space, a hidden giant may be waiting—silent, massive, and ready to rewrite our understanding of the Solar System once and for all.

@konstructivizm That image, *if* it's real, is from a SpaceX Starship test flight, not from the ISS.

Earth's curvature seen 40 minutes ago from orbit... NASA ISS

@konstructivizm Neither Apollo nor Orion looks like that. @konstructivizm is a liar.

From Apollo to Artemis — the evolution of deep-space exploration continues. NASA’s Apollo Command/Service Module (CSM) carried astronauts during Apollo missions from 1968 to 1975, supporting journeys to lunar orbit, Moon landings, and the historic Apollo–Soyuz Test Project. Today, NASA’s Orion spacecraft represents the next generation of human exploration — a modern deep-space vehicle developed for the Artemis Program, designed to carry astronauts farther than ever before on missions to the Moon and beyond.

@konstructivizm SpaceX's HLS looks nothing like that.

@konstructivizm @konstructivizm, it's amazing that you've posted this lie yet again. Mars is slightly less than twice the diameter of the Moon.

This is approximately what Mars would look like in the Earth's sky if it were as close to us as the Moon.

@konstructivizm That chart is AI-generated slop. The upper stage certainly doesn't have extra engines sealed inside.

Experience the power of the next generation with SpaceX Starship Version 3 Evolution — bigger, smarter, and built for deep space missions with advanced reusability and unmatched payload capability.

@sleeping102107 @konstructivizm I also note that the post in which you called me an idiot is still visible. You haven't deleted it.

@sleeping102107 @konstructivizm OK, thanks. For future reference, an apology usually includes the phrase "I'm sorry" or "I apologize". You admitted you were wrong about the image being genuine. You didn't actually admit you were wrong to call me an idiot.

The Himalayas as seen from ISS

@zone_astronomy False. False. False. 116.

Only high IQ minds can solve this! 🧠🔥 Can you find the hidden logic before everyone else? 👀

@zone_astronomy This "simple yet powerful view" is an obvious fake.

Floating together in the vastness of space, Earth and the Moon form one of the most iconic sights in our solar system. Earth shines with its deep blue oceans and swirling clouds, while the Moon appears as a quiet, grey companion reflecting sunlight. Despite the distance between them, their connection is powerful, with gravity binding them in a constant dance. The Moon plays a crucial role in stabilizing Earth's rotation and influencing ocean tides. This simple yet powerful view reminds us of the beauty of our cosmic neighborhood

@zone_astronomy This is nonsense. The man in the image is Heinz von Foerster, who *jokingly* projected in 1960 that human population would reach infinity on November 13, 2026. (Which has nothing to do with the asteroid impact image you dishonestly added.)

🚨 An American scientist’s mathematical prediction claims the world could end in 2026, pointing to Friday, November 13, A.D. 2026, as a possible doomsday scenario.

@sleeping102107 @konstructivizm Is that an apology?

@_kst @konstructivizm I’m used to calling people on here idiots because they frequently doubt any shard of evidence that the Earth is a sphere. In this case I was wrong and didn’t look at the image correctly. I now see that the image looks fake.

@DissentingCat *It's

@konstructivizm Hey, @konstructivizm, why did you post this fake image two days in a row? Mars is just under twice the diameter of the Moon. @konstructivizm is a liar who would rather post misleading fake images than far more impressive and freely available real ones.

This is approximately what Mars would look like in the Earth's sky if it were as close to us as the Moon.

@sleeping102107 @konstructivizm To be clear, I don't know that this image is fake. Provide a nasa.gov URL with the same image (that doesn't label it as an artist's conception), and I'll very happily acknowledge that it's real. Again, what exactly makes you think I'm an idiot?

@sleeping102107 @konstructivizm OK. The @konstructivizm account regularly posts AI-generated images and claims that they're photos taken from the ISS, including Antarctica from directly above (not possible) and all of Australia. This image looks typical of the AI slop this account posts.

@sleeping102107 @konstructivizm Quite possibly, but would you care to explain?

@_kst @konstructivizm you’re an idiot
