@Gmart420 @MikemanCommeth @AndrewHilaryUS This is completely untrue. The south seceded because the northern, non slave states, and the federal government, were trying to end slavery, and that was seen as a threat severe enough to the south's culture and society that they revolted

@MikemanCommeth @AndrewHilaryUS No they didn't lol the north was just as much of a beneficiary of slavery as the south. Economically speaking even more so. The North was fighting to keep the union even Lincoln was willing to allow the south to keep slavery if it meant the south didn't secede.

This is fucking insane. The civil war wasn’t to end slavery, it was to KEEP slavery.

@R4nskMSvUa9DnCF @ScottLikedSLS No it isn't reckless. They had excellent data from ground testing and simulations to support the theory that the new re entry profile would mitigate the issue. You simply cannot test everything in manned spaceflight before putting a crew on board.

@basculerascule @ScottLikedSLS Yes he was. The heat shield problem in Artemis I had been unforeseen and the reentry profile mitigation was untested. Testing stuff like that on a manned mission is reckless, and you cannot blame a guy who had friends die in the shuttle for raising the alarms on this.

NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman@NASAAdmin

I am hesitant to get ahead of a proper data review, but I understand the space community’s curiosity, especially when imagery can give the impression of a problem. As you would expect, engineers were eager to inspect the heat shield, starting with diver imagery shortly after splashdown and continuing with the review aboard the ship. No unexpected conditions were observed. I suspect when the images are released, it will be pretty obvious the stark difference between Artemis I and Artemis II head shield performance. As to the question specifically, the discoloration was not liberated material. The white color observed corresponds to the compression pad area and is consistent with the local geometry, AVCOAT byproducts, and transitional heating environments. We observed this behavior in arc jet testing and expected it in this compression pad area. We will complete a full data review across all systems, including the thermal protection system, and make the results publicly available.

@CrossCountryUK The issue is that cross country don’t share their seat booking data with split ticketing sites. So the man sat in my seat has a split ticket and even though the screen say it’s booked from Alnmouth where I got on he won’t move because he was there first

Hi @CrossCountryUK can you explain why 4 separate passengers have all been given the exact same seat reservation for the 17:05 Edinburgh to Birmingham train? I’ve got on at Alnmouth and found someone in my seat and he said I’m the 3rd person since Edinburgh to show his the same

@ScottLikedSLS No, he doesn't owe an apology to anyone. He didn't say it would fail, he said it was an unnecessary risk and is still right about it.

@astroEdLu Fascinating history, but manual expertise becomes worthless. Canada's aerospace sector hemorrhages jobs to automation while our education system fails us. We train engineers for obsolete roles. Time to pivot. 📉

We used to train to fly reentry manually in the Soyuz as well as Shuttle. The same principle of rolling to control drag and cross range to end up at the target landing spot was used.

@anorignaluser1 @mathsboi42 Apollo 13 changed its splashdown target with the big PC+2 burn near the moon (the main aim of which was to reduce the total mission time to preserve consumables); they couldn't have made a big correction at the last minute

@mathsboi42 Apollo 13 was able to change trajectory from the Indian Ocean to the Pacific so a spacecraft like this i think is capable of changing landing points

@kmaru1701 @SciGuySpace Challenger is literally a direct counter example to your claim, it was one of the times NASA was overly hubristic and was not open about threats. Also I am at home, that's how this works. Clown is a bit rich coming from your feed

During the final Artemis II mission briefing yesterday there were lots of questions about Orion's helium valves. Lower level officials were hesitant to provide too much information on the consequences. Halfway through the senior official on stage, Amit Kshatriya, clearly decides transparency is best, and talks about the need for a redesign. I'm not sure that happens under previous administrators. The candidness is appreciated.

@kmaru1701 @SciGuySpace NASA has always been open with the press. It's called trust, and it's an effective PR strategy, because the public generally accept that the truth isn't being hidden from them, which is a big contrast to other manned space programmes. But sure they should listen to you instead

@basculerascule @SciGuySpace I can see you’re denser than depleted uranium. I’ll speak slowly, once. The press is illiterate and sensationalistic. You don’t put the bug in their ear w/the word ‘redesign’ before a re-entry. They won’t get the story right should anything happen.

@kmaru1701 @SciGuySpace The leak has absolutely no effect on reentry. It affects the main engine in the service module which was only used for TLI. Course corrections are accomplished with the smaller thrusters. For entry, the SM will be jettisoned, and entry controlled with the crew module's thrusters

@SciGuySpace Candid, yes. Smart? TBD. God forbid something go wrong during re-entry, but if something serious occurs, his statement will have nasty repercussions.

@PosterboyMail @cmonmun @albieamankona Over a period of several months of writing and making a song, getting it past your producers, publishers, publicists? While selling Nazi themed clothes that again requires much planning and follow through? Come of it, not an episode, just an edgy racist

I went out to bat HARD for John Davidson after he shouted the N word at black actors and producers at the BAFTAs; against many in my own community. Davidson apologised, and his use of a racist slur was explained by his disability and I extended grace and forgiveness. So here is the uncomfortable question. Kanye West has bipolar disorder. He has said his antisemitic outbursts are linked to it. He has apologised, more than once. Yet the reaction is entirely different. Let me be clear. West’s antisemitism is vile. It is not edgy, it is not excusable, and it causes real harm. In the same way, a white person using the N word does. Both should be condemned without hesitation. But condemnation is not the same as consistency. If we are prepared to treat disability as a mitigating factor in one case, we cannot simply ignore it in another because the individual is more controversial or the offence feels less convenient to forgive. Either disability meaningfully shapes responsibility, or it does not. Either apologies carry weight, or they do not. If we only extend grace selectively, it stops being a principle and starts looking like preference.
