Apparently is a burning smell from the toilet.
CAPCOM: "We're comfortable with you still using the toilet."

It is also *SO* cramped in there. You watch them weave thru each other, & they have 6 more days‽

Typical vapid TV show interview… with astronauts most of the way to the Moon.

Christina: "If we had our family up here, we might never come back down."

Literally space rebellion, "For All Mankind" response.

They're so close! & NASA's stream keeps cutting to a split view of inside capsule, outside wing camera, which is neat!

Well, I decided to break my conventional media omerta on #Artemis II this afternoon, & spent ten minutes on LBC Radio with Ali Miraj.

He's clearly sceptical about space exploration, including the billionaire bros & the wider geopolitical context.

I was invited on to "big up" space, to talk about the science, & probably to be gushy & enthusiastic, but as I actually agree with most of his concerns (even if some are not particularly well-informed), I'm not sure there was much point.

so the TLI burn was so accurate that #artemis2 is skipping the second trajectory correction!

So, #NASA is fucked after this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yd_PrgsoMbQ #Artemis #Artemis2

In the midst of EXCITING trash stowage drama, there's now a mission status update:

No course correction today, the TLI burn was dead on!

You know there's something wrong with US politics when NASA is forced to communicate in Imperial measurements.

"Orion’s main engine provides up to 6,000 pounds of thrust, enough to accelerate a car from 0 to 60 mph in about 2.7 seconds. At the time of the burn, Orion’s mass was 58,000 pounds and burned approximately 1,000 pounds of fuel during the firing."

OFFS "On the station, crews rely on more than 4,000 pounds of exercise hardware spread across roughly 850 cubic feet." 🙄

#science #nasa #artemis

NASA's use of Imperial measurements is similar to if US biologists started using species names in the Texas dialect instead of in Latin.

#science #nasa #artemis #space

I can't overstate this. NASA's use of pounds and cubic feet in its outreach efforts does not come across to science-literate people, inside or outside the US, as a sign that the country is a badass superpower that can do what it likes and ignore everyone else.

Instead it suggests that the US is a provincial nation of dungaree-wearing banjo players.

#Artemis II seemed to leap off the pad pretty eagerly.

Does anyone know what its initial #TWR is?

Can't find much online about it.

Was kinda hoping the #Artemis Countdown would be like

Mission control: 10…9…8…7…

Crew: LEEEEROOOOOOOOOY JENNNNNNNKINS!

The irony ...

"How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations! For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north: I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High. Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit."

Artemis (Diana) is Apollo's twin sister. Together the two are 'Lucifer'.

They are chief deities of the solar worship cult.
