picture of Artemis II with the top out of frame and it's weird seeing two SRBs and basically the external tank with no orbiter attached. like it makes sense to reuse Shuttle tooling but it still looks like something's missing

you know the Shuttle is cool because it hasn't flown in 15 years and they're still making toys of it

@mym I discovered on a recent call with my dad that he calls all rockets Shuttles. I was very confused. I feel like that’s a pretty strong Dad Endorsement though

@yomimono @mym I only just learned yesterday that Shuttle is a specific series of craft; I thought it was a much more generic term (more or less: anything crewed that isn’t a station). So I’m with your dad on this one.

@yomimono @mym That's such a Midwestern dad sort of thing to do, in my estimation.
