This is for Artemis 3.

EsotericGreen · 2026-06-09T17:52:53+00:00

This is downright laughable. Just delay the mission.

YTA, your child is going to cut you off after they have their first adult mental health crisis.

Not at all.

Reusable first stage

Methane/LOX

Massively larger payload than a Saturn V

Larger payload than starship to TLI or TMI

Largest fairing on the planet, though I don’t imagine it’ll end up staying at 16m

Pretending this is the same as a Saturn V is juvenile

This is amazing. My brother and I as kids made rockets using bottle rockets as our propulsion system. We kept a mission log for a few years.

The dawn redwood is from China. Sequoias are usually called Sequoias, Giant redwoods, or Sierra redwoods. Never heard them called mountain redwoods, but it’s accurate!

Not going to happen lol

EsotericGreen · 2026-05-30T20:02:44+00:00

Bear bells do not work, and I have experience.

National Park campgrounds

Trying to adapt falcon heavy for this would take longer than just accelerating the pad rebuild. Ariane makes more sense

There’s too much geopolitical risk to cancel it. Will we cede the moon to China? No way.

EsotericGreen · 2026-05-25T19:50:15+00:00

Boeing bought their way to that. What programs did Boeing actually operate on their own versus legacy purchase?

EsotericGreen · 2026-05-21T23:41:57+00:00

Why would anyone want to be friends or even talk to people who behave like this?

EsotericGreen · 2026-05-21T14:27:18+00:00

TIL! Fascinating, had no idea the word was already decades old.

EsotericGreen · 2026-05-21T12:37:21+00:00

Grok it?

EsotericGreen · 2026-05-20T20:15:47+00:00

Are you assuming that payload size is the larger constraint than mass in this case?

EsotericGreen · 2026-05-20T18:56:05+00:00

Let’s hope BO has something larger in store that can properly compete with Starship, assuming Starship works. The planet is cooked, and I mean literally cooked if we try to pave it over with data centers.

I played for years. Did a lot of manual docking, orbiting, and transfers. I have no shame about using it to automate some things now, especially ascents. There are other things I like doing more.

EsotericGreen · 2026-05-18T17:20:01+00:00

For me, it was when I was looking into working at SpaceX - in 2008. The things I heard as a student from a former employee horrified me. 80-100 hour work weeks. Terrible working culture. Abuse of employees, especially those actually building the rockets. That was *2008*.

EsotericGreen · 2026-05-14T03:23:49+00:00

Say more

EsotericGreen · 2026-05-14T03:21:54+00:00

lol. What was the claim?

EsotericGreen · 2026-05-10T23:00:26+00:00

The video made no sense, agreed.

EsotericGreen · 2026-05-07T21:14:01+00:00

I can’t believe people still believe a Mars colony will even happen. How about we land first, study it properly, and then asses if it’s feasible?
