Splashdown in around 6h45m from literally as I post
eta: they just said 5:07pm Cascadian/Pacific time for splashdown so now you have a clock time too
This feed will provide continuous coverage of Artemis II mission activities with live commentary, beginning with tanking of the SLS (Space Launch System) roc...
picture from artemis 2's exterior camera - the closer it gets to earth the more it looks like actually quite good sfx? which is hilarious because it's real
whelp here's the "NASA PR0VES E4RTH IS FL/-\T!" photo that the nutters'll be using for the next 10 years
expecting to hear "THIS IS THE VOICE OF THE MYSTERONS" during the blackout period
keep an eye out for green circles of light
Splashdown confirmed. Integrity stable in the water at 7:07.47 pm NASA (Central) time, mission duration 9 days 1 hour 31 minutes 35 seconds unofficial.
@moira
Hurtling at Earth at unbelievable speeds, the astronauts prepare to get dunked in the ocean then have a nice greeting from the navy...
I swear the planet gets bigger every time I glance at the video.
@realtegan YEAH
tiny dot 'til you're right up at it then O HELO
@moira I believe the view is optically fixed, but whenever the SAW rotates to face the panels to the Sun (or when the craft's attitude changes) the camera view changes as well.
In this case I think it's a combination of both, the spacecraft rotated (thermal control?) but the panel orientation would have stayed about the same, so there was a rotation relative to the capsule/service module
@RobynGoodfellow fuck, you're right
that's hilarious xD
space: 1999 real never please because that's bad xD
I, for one, am looking forward to the debriefing in the Big Ominous Room:
WHY DID YOU TURN BACK??
we didn't...
WHY DID YOU TURN BACK??
can't you assholes check the flight recorder?
Burned up in the crash.
Aren't they designed to not do that?
Not in this movie. Also really bad crash.
Well, Copilot Guy can corroborate everything
Too bad he's dead from 3rd-degree burns and shit + wrong side heart wtf
And Britain RH drive?
We switched right before UFO, how do you not remember?
also look forward to the ending where the insufficiently-reversed-polarity lander destroys entire SpaceX base + HQ, nobody kept offsite backups of anything,
so only Elon remembers + nobody believes him => confined to an insane asylum
#monsterdon definitely needs to do
Journey to the Far Side of the Sun
(you've seen this, right? Because, if you haven't then oh god....)
it was their theatrical-movie attempt that made UFO possible (because lots of leftover sets/props they didn't have to build from scratch)
@wrog @RobynGoodfellow ooooh so if we see this we can play spot-the-UFO-prop?
I am more interested than previously xD
that particular drinking game is going to put you in a coma pretty quickly
You can tell it's real because it doesn't have as much greebles as sfx.
