You only ever read video comments unless you wish to torture yourself.

Hydrolox rockets burn cooler, and now there are metals that get tougher as they get colder:

L3 Harris just bought Aerojet-Rocketdyne…maybe they will be more understanding towards engineering.

Artemis II Crew
Seated: Mission Commander Reid Wiseman (NASA)
Standing, left to right: Mission Specialist Christina Koch (NASA), Mission Pilot Victor Glover, Mission Specialist Jeremy Hansen (Canadian Space Agency)

This is freaking awesome that they have a crew picked......... Yay

 

[Sci]

The mission commander is a fellow Marylander!

Artemis II will have to pay five tolls to get out of earth orbit, and that's before it gets to Delaware

 

[Mr. Laser Beam]

I guess you CAN eat crab cakes in zero gravity.

 

[Sci]

Only if you bring plenty of Old Bay.

I hope the landing is made with Dynetics' Alpaca.

Even if (Monday's) test flight of Starship goes well---I want that as all cargo instant lunar base---say in the middle of a crater to serve as a feed horn with the cockpit even with the lunar surface.

Old and New

Just don't store nuclear waste there or it's Starship Moon

As it turns out--NASA used film for the recent SLS launch

This is a quick update to the last video "Why is Older NASA Launch Film Footage Still the Best?" • Why is Older NASA... In that, I bemoaned the fact that even though we have supposedly better cameras than the Apollo and Shuttle days, the amazing close-up footage of today’s launches are not seen because digital cameras can't handle the over-exposure situations of the very bright engines and SRB's compared to film. Well, I just found out that NASA does still use high-speed film to record engineering footage and that this has just become available for the Artemis 1 launch of Nov 2022. So below are the links to the NASA footage on their images website and also the twitter user Go4Gordan who used a freedom of information request to get it released.

Dynetics gets kicked in the teeth again:

Augh!!!

 

[Gingerbread Demon]

Hard to believe it's been 3 years almost. The first post here by yours truly was November 30 2020.

it's very exciting as well and a long road still for the first landing.
