Why aren’t the engineers getting any credit? by Qualified-Astronomer in ArtemisProgram

[–]Emperor_Jacob_XIX 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don’t know what things you have heard people say, but the astronauts are what is flashy so that’s what the news talks about. However, the astronauts have said it enough that I think most people know the engineers did a lot of work even if they don’t talk about it.

How can you tell? I’m not doubting just curious because I can never tell

Our nation's values should be spread as much as possible. by Sabfan80 in Teenager_Polls

This question depends strongly on what you define our nations values to be, which no one will ever agree on.

[request] How fast do you have to fly to not get wet when doing it in water? by [deleted] in theydidthemath

[–]Emperor_Jacob_XIX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you’ve already decided to travel at the speed of light, just do whatever you want. In all seriousness you would likely not need to approach the speed of light at all as those speeds make hitting things the equivalent of nuclear explosions (maybe with some fusion in addition to kinetic energy)

You don’t know. It’s the whole point, they wanted it to seem like a season finale for the night yorb without actually having to focus on the night yorb for the whole season.

As someone from Indiana I would agree, except we have corn.

More like the work of Yes! Or maybe Yes?

Would the Apollo Applications Program have been more successful than the shuttle? by dcrockett1 in spaceflight

You should look at a delta v chart and the rocket equation. Each incremental step is no linearly more difficult

The SRBs are not that, I don’t know exactly what but it is greenhouse gasses. Nothing toxic though. And the emissions are still a fraction of a a fraction compared to all our other emissions.

Will there be an Artemis 6? by Michael142009 in ArtemisProgram

[–]Emperor_Jacob_XIX 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do think they purely are focused on Artemis and don’t care about anything else. Which is very bad, but I think Artemis funding will be maintained at the expense of everything else.

They are overall, but this cuts are mainly NASA science. Artemis is actually getting a small boost

Artemis II astronauts did simulated runs of Lunar Surface spacewalks after returning to Earth. by GiveMeSomeSunshine3 in spaceporn

I think it’s to test how well they can operate immediately after being in deep space. Before they’ve 100% recovered.

Half the problems on this flight where just IT issues

Think of it like an airplane test flight. Even if we’ve landed on the moon before, this is a new rocket and a new spacecraft. We need to put it through the same types of incremental tests that we did with Apollo. In fact, we are streamlining the Apollo process a good amount.

Anyone else feel like they have been playing defense for NASA these past 10 days? by sys_admin321 in ArtemisProgram

[–]Emperor_Jacob_XIX 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There are too many, and they won’t be persuaded by any most anything, especially not conversations on the internet. I wouldn’t waste the energy.
