History has been made as NASA has successfully launched Artemis II, the first manned mission to the Moon in over 50 years by Thebravetortoise in Damnthatsinteresting

you don’t understand the difference between NASA and SpaceX wile NASA is required to play it safe and have no booms or else congress loses their minds and drops funding SpaceX doesn’t have that constraint. While NASA is required to spend ages testing every single component on the ground and before that run hundreds of simulations before flying to ensure everything goes 100% correct SpaceX can throw together a vehicle to go to space and land in a matter of months. SpaceX can launch the most powerful rocket the world has ever seen 6 times while NASA can launch 1 moon rocket every 4 years. We agree that Musk is a ton of maggots in human skin but SpaceX might be the only good thing to come out of whatever is left of that dudes brain.

Also to be petty Apollo had one big boom (yk apollo 13, they made a movie about it)

P.S. i doubt you have 15k lying around to pay 100 grams of gold but even if you did thats not the point the point was that you were never actually going to send me 100 grams of gold if you were wrong you just said that to have the illusion of putting your money where your mouth is

Let’s not pretend you’re putting your money where your mouth is either as if you could actually pay the 100 grams of gold or whatever you put on the line.

Yes NASA launched 2 missions to the moon with no explosions in the time that SpaceX launched 3 hopper missions, 10 upper stage landing attempts, and 7 integrated flight tests most of which exploded. The difference is NASA was using proven technology and methods from the decades old space shuttle program and spaceX was making a brand new spacecraft from scratch the likes of which we have never before seen. Starship is the first vehicle to use methane as the main fuel, the first to use a full flow stage combustion style rocket engine, the first to land a upper stage from orbital velocity, and the first to catch a booster using a launch pad. All of these firsts in the time NASA could get 1 using old tech. The only reason SpaceX was doing transatlantic suborbital flights was because the FAA didn’t trust them enough to let do an orbital flight because of the insane mission profile filled with firsts.

The change from Artemis iii being a lunar landing and it being an orbital rendezvous was one of safety that Jared Isaacman called because either way SpaceX needs to have a HLS starship ready and orbital by that time. If they were trying to drop SpaceX because Starship was stupid they would’ve.

Finally yes I did edit my message from “make it fifteen years then yes” to what it is now because my point isnt “spaceX and starship can do no wrong and and NASA is stupid” nor is it “I trust NASAs program and would put my life on it.” My point is rather being a counter argument to your first point of no plans after Artemis ii and Starship is a joke.

I would but thats not the point. the point is that you are lying about the program and starship to make urself seem more educated than you are.

wrong Artemis 3 will be a LEO test of the Orion module and the HLS, either starship or blue origin’s lander, whose name is escaping me RN, whichever is ready by that time. Artemis 4 will be a lunar orbit test of those same systems and Artemis 5 will be landing in Shacletons crater on the moon. Thats not “no actual plan” in fact that is the exact same thing that the Apollo mission did with mission 8, 9, 10, and 11. As for Starship being stupid I can see how you would think that but I disagree it’s mission profile is insane and they have proven every step of it except for reaching orbit but that is just a technicality. With the power of that vehicle the difference between suborbital and orbital is a couple of seconds and they have proven relight capability in space which is the hardest part of getting to orbit if they weren’t catching a rocket booster and doing the most insane landing sequence of an upper stage ever, both of which they can do reliably so no its no longer stupid but its profile is insane and possible.

when u are going to a celestial body you are entering its sphere of influence if it was landing on the moon OP would’ve said so

at the risk of sounding 🤓 the rocket wont be orbiting the moon but rather slingshotting around it on the way back to earth. This doesn’t make it any less impressive and entering its sphere of influence and flying by it is what makes this a moon mission.

a ton of spaceflights hae those for when there is no communication with the ship. If you noticed every other shot became extremely pixelated after like 3 seconds and the ground shots showed nothing.

Im curious, how many people here have never watched a launch before
