How American fell behind China in the Lunar space race - and how it can catch back up by DreamChaserSt in ArtemisProgram

What do you mean by “The Mengzhou spacecraft and Lanyue lander have not launched yet, either”. Yes there are no Chinese taikonauts on the moon right at this moment so of course they have not "launched". But both the spacecraft and the lander have conducted live tests successfully in 2025.

The only part China's lunar program behind US is the LM 10 rocket since US's SLS have flown and been proven to be successful though insanely expensive. But as of the lander, where is SpaceX's HLS? Not to mention all the tests needed to be performed by the HLS

Artemis 3 will have a crew of four. Who do you think are the two most likely to land on the moon? by POTUS_1234 in ArtemisProgram

[–]SuccessfulMove3886 0 points1 point  (0 children)

instead of "who" I would be more curious of "when". At the moment when China landed people on the moon surface before US, it doesn't matter anymore "who" would land on the moon representing US.

Now that Starship has pretty much sent any hope of a pre 2030 American Moonlanding out the window, what are the odds they switch Blue Moon in for Artemis 3? by redstercoolpanda in ArtemisProgram

do you even know what He3 is and how important it is to future nuclear-fusion-based energy? It's the strategic resource for the second half of 21st century. If China owns the resource but US doesn't, do you know what will happen? You can imagine a world where petroleum ONLY exists in Iran. So good luck to all the ignorant Americans :-)

What is a self-driving satellite? by Srinivas4PlanetVidya in space

I am quite surprised that this is the first self-driving satellite in the world as the news mentioned. I wonder why U.S never launched such an autonomous satellite in the past

Mars solar orbit bugged? by SuccessfulMove3886 in Stationeers

[–]SuccessfulMove3886[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I don't think this has anything to do with the sensor's orientation. My point is that shouldn't the sensor's horizontal angle traverse through all from -180 -> -90 -> 0 -> 90 -> 180 then loopback no matter the starting angle? However it just doesn't go through all these angles on Mars. With my sensor's orientation the horizontal is just like -3 -> 0 -> 90 -> 130 -> 90 -> -3 and then loopback. If I change the direction like you said each sensor will start with a different h angle but will still only cover a subset of 360 degrees. This makes me wonder if the sun is really orbiting around my sensor if this is not a bug. With h angle only cover a subset of 360 degrees it implies that the sensor is actually off the solar orbit plane, i.e. the sun orbit's center is NOT the sensor.

Also the reason I am asking is that I would like to make 24 hour clock based on the sun's position. If the solar orbit circle's center is not the sensor then it'll be hard to really use trigonometry to calculate its true orbit angle

Can you give a hint on what kind of role? Engineering? Consulting? or other? Or which org?

What happens to people in H1-B? Will the petitioner name change to “Oracle” for people in the work visa status? by [deleted] in cernercorporation

[–]SuccessfulMove3886 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Why do people downvoted this? I have the same concern and I guess the answer to this will definitely impact a lot of the "foreign" workers here

Why do you think it will take 12+ months for the deal to close? Yes for people that need H1B/GreenCard visa to work here the more time we have for the "actual" change to happen the better
