the people who consider it boring have lost touch with reality and don't go outside human environments.

>>16944612
>Earth is the coolest planet, we just have sensory adaption to it and consider it boring
If you didn't have sensory adaptation to it, you would find it disgusting and horrifying.
Any kind of flesh-horror movie or other media you've ever consumed is basically what we live in during our daily lives. Anything from eating, fucking, breeding to nature itself is disgusting from the point of view of someone who's not adapted to this. Even your own body is a nauseating, pulsating bag of flesh with strange colour and growths all over it.

The only time the Apollo program had a net approval rating from the Ameriburger public was the week after Apollo 11, the only reason the program got off the ground was was because space was an extension of the cold war arms race, and the only reason Apollo wasn't canceled before it could land on the moon is because JFK was killed before he got cold feet.

>>16944846
yeah but i'm curious what they really entail and if they somehow accidently scrapped something that was useful.

>>16944835
Hey, I know who to ask! Grok?

Design & Function: The side hatch is engineered for extreme security, tested to operate after withstanding harsh space pressure changes.

Emergency Use: If a quick exit is needed in space, pyrotechnic, or explosive, devices can instantly release the latches for immediate opening.

Opening Mechanisms: While normally opened by ground teams before launch and after splashdown, it has manual mechanisms for crew access to the docking hatch or for emergency procedures.

So, no. Unless you're never coming back.

takin' care of business

Can someone explain to me why the FUCK Trump keeps trying to gut NASA's budget? The money they're allocated is already a fucking pittance compared to other agencies, why is he trying to take more of it? It would barely even be a drop in the bucket for whatever he wants it for.

>>16944873
The jews want a war economy
Also enough people probably told him the half-truth that we can still do amazing things for cheaper with commercial options so that just means gut it, they’ll survive

>>16944873
some of his influential backers are anti-science and pro-climate change, so he's placating them. the good thing is that congress pushes back on most of it, which ends up giving nasa a bigger budget than usual. midas touch.

>>16944873
how much of the budget allocated to moon and mars exploration will he want to cut? doesn't nasa do alot of shit outside of those things? maybe it's things like that that he wants gone, idk

it's 2026, you've had eleven fucking years to get it into your skull that trump is dogshit and his manipulators are incompetent and frankly evil people.

the true answer to your question is you can't put a reasonable answer to what they want to do, because they don't know either. it's a shitshow.

ok, but that's something you don't want with regards to space exploration; budgets that change from year to year. you want stability since these projects take decades to come to fruition. i'm guessing they're betting on the commercial space industry to pick up the slack

how are they halfway to the moon but still got 3 days before they arrive?

I'm glad we got this one SLS / Orion flight in around da moon before it's all cancelled, I do say. how pleasant.

>>16944959
if you watch the to-scale sim of the orbit, it really just barely whips by the moon (slowing all the way to it) and then gets slingshotted back down to earth.

which spacecraft is roomier, orion or dragon?

What's up with her voice?
If you're sick then go home

>>16944999
orion I think

>>16944981
how do they differ from traitor sugar cookies?

>>16945002
I suspect dragon is roomier if you calculate in the extra luggage taking up room on Orion.

>>16944992
Okay girl. Let's see you kill the space spider in the space bathtub.

10 min to another riveting press conference where they get asked food, toilet, 'how do you feel', questions

>>16945004
yeah i was wondering about the luggage...orion may have more space...but whats the point if its all taken up by carry-ons?

>>16945007
because that luggage enables a longer trip, ofc. Dragon only has free-flying endurance of like 4 days max

>>16945006
what should they get asked instead?

The long exposure and high ISO blows it up a bit. Pluto's atmosphere is nowhere near this visible under normal conditions but being on the night side and using sensitive settings makes it really bright in comparison.

it's red because the blue and green gets scattered.
the red part is only visible when looking through it at the sun.
from the side you'll expect to see that blue and green instead, i.e. cyan.
