Send help! Or, bananas.
Lady Butterfly she/herYep also got a bone in my hair
MinnesotaGoddamWait shit I thought we were doing chewbaccas. Can I just blend in with the crowd and fake it?
finallymadeanaccountOh, Jesus ⌠they look like party balloons.
Nobody tell Hegseth!
Or Patel
Not a Kerbal was left behind
Well, not a whole one
Oh, theyâre back already?
NighedItâs it the same heat shield as on Apollo. I thought the issue was that theyâd forgotten how to make it so it didnât work as well on Artemis I (though even that one came back intact).
They made some material changes (removing asbestos) and did it tiled instead of one piece.
They found that (on the installed version) doing the skip menuvre, it actually wasnât hot enough and the material offgased without burning, causing bits to break off.
They made a new version, but didnât update this mission with it.
FundMECFSIf you squint it looks like a christmas ornament (or perhaps I really should be wearing my glasses).
That reminds me. My family used to have a reentry vehicle Christmas ornament that would play audio from the Apollo missions and light up the cabin. Super cool
the local crazies are already trying to tell everyone that comes near about how the whole thing is a hoax
because if they donât how will they prove that the original moon landing was a fraud.
jivandabeastWas at a sushi restaurant where they had it playing on the TV. Some guy got in front the tv and started screaming for them to turn it off because its propaganda and obviously fake.
Like five waiters went over, laughed at him, and then watched the landing
Laughing is 1000% the correct response.
In YouTube chat everyone was thanking God ânâ Jeezus, nobody gave any credit to FUCKING SCIENCE.
Nothing special, just a replay from more than 50 years ago, then this was world news, now just a distraction from the EPSTEIN FILES
GladiusBHow exactly would you like the Canadian Space Agency or ESA to handle the files? This wasnât just an American flight and as others have said NASA has nothing to do with that
Why does this feel like the start of a horror movie đ
That was about as perfect as a test flight could be, they all did a hell of a job.
Says someone who had a toilet the last ten days
Mostly it was just priming the pump and tracing issues as they arose, like I said great test flight
