Feels weird to be doing these “yay humanity” things in the context of the war on Iran. I suppose the Apollo missions happened with the backdrop of the imperialist wars in Southeast Asia (Korea, Indonesia, Vietnam, Cambodia, …)

i would not want to be a USian astronaut these days. in my ignorant opinion it’s probably far more dangerous today than it was in the 60s when they were trying to do everything right to prove they could do it at all.
yeah, that rocket was built as cheaply as possible lmao
Always was, NASA doesn’t build rockets, it gives money to military contractors and sometimes gets a rocket out of it.
yes and no. things were over-engineered in the very beginning but then by the time we get to challenger the budget cuts and shit start to creep in.
in the early days theyd overengineer the wrong things and come up short on things we literally didnt know about so its give and take in this regard
There’s nothing yay humanity about this program. It’s an absolute joke and will go nowhere in the long run. Wake me up when China does it.
They were initially quoting it as a $20 billion project. They’ve already stopped giving that number now.
Well, the rest of us will slug it out with the naysayers of humanity while you sleep for the next four years. Sweet dreams, I guess.
What exactly will you be doing?
Probably get dead or sent to prison. I don’t know if you’ve noticed but the Nazis are back. Pretty sure we’re going to have to fight them again. But by all means, sleep through it.
are the nazis on the moon?
Well, it was Nazi tech that got the Americans there, so technically…
its refreshing to see the usa launching rockets at something other than schools and hospitals
A much more interesting mission that is happening in August is the launch of Chang’e 7. This will be the first serious exploration of the Lunar south pole and Shackleton crater as a source of water and other resources essential to a permanent base. It will include a hopping rover to aid in the search. Like the previous Chang’e missions it will probably go unnoticed as the program continues to innovate the field of robotic exploration.
will have it’s revengeit’s still neat
Yeah America is evil but space rockets are cool.
Whiteys tryin to get to the moon
WHAT ARE WE A BUNCH OF ASIANS?!
hope it fails miserably, fuck this evil place
Yea my chud coworker was going around asking if people heard about it and then laughing about how no one gives a shit
I didn’t even know the U.S. was attempting anything, when he asked me i thought it was about china
how no one gives a shit
because the toilet is broken
you get it?
lmao their toilet broke
I need more details.
The bad light went on so they could only poop in it but had to pee in bags. But then they fixed it :sicko-wistful:
did they flush their socks

The SLS and Artemis program took so long to come to fruition that they were already outdated the moment they rolled out to the pad. I guess I hope it works but the last time they flew the Orion capsule it was a miracle that the thing managed to make it back home at all.
One day soon a Chinese astronaut is going to take a selfie with Armstrong’s flag, and the butthurt will be palpable
