The search for our ship's Techie begins (The Sweet Sixteen+) Choose -

@pauleklink @Tazerface16 Haha me, I guess. Achieve? Reach?

@Tazerface16 @jeffkelehernb Who says, "Put it into orbit"

I'm an aerospace engineer. I made this prediction over five years ago, and I'm still correct. I'm not interested in non-engineers trying to explain to me how I'm wrong somehow. Elon Musk is not an engineer.

@Truthful_ast That it hasn’t proven it can return safely to be reused yet. Especially in references to crewed missions, this is still a daunting milestone. For once, getting to orbit was the easy part.

Starship haters always say "it hasn't made orbit yet!!" when it does make orbit, what will these people say instead lmfao

@LigerzeroTTV @WannabeLurker @Tazerface16 Elliptical orbit can be achieved without relighting any engines.

@jeffkelehernb @WannabeLurker @Tazerface16 No shit. It means burn to achieve a full orbit and not a suborbital arc.

@sck1ng @Tazerface16 We’re not discussing deorbit. We’re discussing making it to orbit

@Tazerface16 @jeffkelehernb You said "make it into orbit" and omitted "deorbit". Looking forward to you being proved incorrect.

@BaronDestructo @ThrillaRilla369 Jeeeeezus

I was helping to set up a trampoline during third grade gym class and had the whole thing whip back and snap my arm in two. Compound fracture. After having the cast on for two months, x-rays showed the bone had set wrong so they had to rebreak it and reset it. Back then, that involved some heavy-set dude coming in and just pressing the newly set bone to break it again without anesthetic.

Who here has broken a bone in their lifetime and how’d you do it? I broke my arm thinking I could skateboard when I was in high school 🛹

@LigerzeroTTV @WannabeLurker @Tazerface16 Orbits to not need to be circular.

@WannabeLurker @Tazerface16 @jeffkelehernb No it hasn’t. It’s demonstrated the ability to reach a suborbital arc. It hasn’t demonstrated it would but able to circularize said orbit.

@rand_longevity Because the public stopppe caring and funding required public and political support.

why did we wait 50 years to go back to the moon?

@Tazerface16 Great rebuttal!

@jeffkelehernb Because you're a space fan, not an engineer. I hate space fans.

@DeckplateOpsO @Tazerface16 I have no idea what that means.

@jeffkelehernb @Tazerface16 He's being a prick because he went to the canoe club. It's beyond his control.

@Tazerface16 I don’t know why you’re being so confrontational. I’m trying to discuss in good faith. I already conceded they haven’t proven the ability to return yet.

@jeffkelehernb Velocity means nothing. Control is everything. How would they have deorbited it, kiddo?

@Tazerface16 How so? My understanding is they’ve purposefullly stopped short by a few hundred m/s while still having sufficient fuel to continue if desired.

@jeffkelehernb You're wrong. They haven't proven they can put it into orbit.

@MustangMedicX It’s a simulation because cameras can’t see that far. Not sure about the cockpit views. Security, privacy and possible views of them dying during a mishap are factors, I’m sure.

NASA launches Astronauts successfully towards the Moon. Why is there no cockpit view? And why is it a simulation after it heads out of the atmosphere.? Things that make you go hmmmmmmmm.🤔

@JasonBermas There are independent/amateur astronomers who can track objects, especially if they’re told where they’ll be. It’s more akin to tracking a star than the closeup image you’re yearning for.

I will ask again as I got no actual answer yesterday, is there any private citizen or group globally that can independently track this the entire time to verify the authenticity? Not track NASA communications, etc, visually track the entire Artemis journey there and back, start to finish after it circles the earth and leaves low earth orbit? dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1…

@bscholl The Starlink network does not extend to the moon, you silly goose.

At government rates, SpaceX could win the contract for a lunar webcast and throw in the rocket for free.

@TheMarcitect Satisfying conspiracy theorists is not on NASA’s list of priorities. They owe you nothing.

I thought there would have been wall to wall coverage and great camera shots for the moon mission by NASA to prove everyone wrong about them faking everything. But apparently all we get is a visualization of what it might look like.. This isn't helping NASA's case at all.

@LightAtNightKJ @FFairing Not nearly as much as you think though. Maybe a 25% increase in size a most.

@FFairing It's Photoshoped a bit right?

Can’t believe all it took to save human spaceflight was a guy willing to press the ‘fix everything’ button.

@Dino95177184 @DavidKrayden The residential schools happened as documented. The part they “made up” were the “graves”.

A political strategy avoid hard questions by asking the questions. Rogan got played. Like how about asking - allowing men to compete in women sports? Never got asked. - trans violence - Why are taxes so high in Canada? - Why is Healthcare so bad? - Why did they make up the Residential school crisis? So many questions went unanswered because Pierre took over the interview. Otherwise it was good.

Pierre Poilievre's interview on The Joe Rogan Experience Thursday was interesting in a multitude of ways but was also a textbook example of how the person being interviewed can become the interviewer and completely control the questions being asked! For over 30 minutes, Poilievre grills Rogan on martial arts and UFC.

@CHSommers Sick burn but I think Japan already got burned enough for that.

Ok. This is really funny.
