WE REALLY LIKE THA MOON

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

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." 🙄

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 astronauts will eat 189 different food and drink items on their 10-day mission, which is a lot more variety than previous space missions.

#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.

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.

Watching the livestream of the Artemis II launch, I just witnessed one of the astronauts type in the password on their tablet while sitting in the capsule on camera.

Looking forward to perhaps seeing the Artemis launch tomorrow evening from our front yard. Early evening launches always show up really well here on the farm. 6:24pm EDT projected launch time.

I have serious concerns for the crew though, and pray for their safety. Many on other platforms are suggesting that SpaceX should be prepared to rescue the Artemis crew if needed.

With Artemis II supposed to be Apollo 8 bis,
now Artemis III is supposed to be Apollo 9 bis.
What are the odds then that there will be an Apollo 10 bis?
Three or four to one?

On this day in 1990, the Voyager 1 space probe took a photo of our planet from approximately 6 billion kilometers (3.7 billion miles) away.

"Commissioned by NASA and resulting from the advocacy of astronomer and author Carl Sagan, the photograph was interpreted in Sagan's 1994 book, Pale Blue Dot, as representing humanity's minuscule and ephemeral place amidst the cosmos."
