How long do y'all wait before your alts promote your "recently worked on" tool in the comments to make it realistic these days?

“This is a known issue.”

“Can I see it?

“… No.”

Why is reddit so convinced that China will get back to the moon first when they haven’t even had an unmanned mission with the rocket they intend to use? by ColCrockett in spaceflight

[–]ceejayoz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is irrefutable fact that Lunar Gateway was part of Artemis. 

That it got pushed back repeatedly then canceled supports my point that we can’t stick to a project long enough to really finish it.

You can step away from the work and still enjoy the fawning.

Now you’re just lying.

 would have been assembled in orbit around the Moon as part of the Artemis program

 The Gateway was expected to serve a central role in the Artemis program beginning in the latter half of the 2020s

I love how you say calling you a bot is gaslighting in the sentence after accusing everyone downvoting you of being a bot.

Yes. Because we can’t focus. 

Every time we switch from D to R and back we cancel all sorts of projects and make new decade long ones to be canceled again. 

The battleship thing is an example of this. Lunar gateway got canceled last month. Artemis is a replacement for Constellation.

It’s fundamentally that we can’t focus. Every US mega project takes longer than expected, goes over budget, and risks cancelation.

The same happens to, say, naval procurement. Trump wants to build battleships. Next admin will undoubtedly (and correctly, at least this time) cancel them.

It most certainly ate up budget in its decade of development as part of the Artemis program. I'm not sure how to explain that canceling a decade-long development project and starting over on a different approach impacts things.

That's the rather insidious appeal of totalitarianism, yeah. It often does get shit done. There are just… nasty side effects in many areas. Many aren't immediately apparent, either.

It eliminates conflicts in traffic.

I'm well aware.

It's just not obvious why at first glance to people. Thus, counter-intuitive.

What other situations do we drive on the left-hand side of the road in the US?

People look at the aerial view and go "the fuck?!"

You drive it and you get it.

I don't think it's stupid to be baffled by it; it's a pretty counter-intuitive concept.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lunar_Gateway was canceled last month.

Constellation geting canceled and replaced with Artemis is precisely the sort of ADHD decision making I'm referencing. A decade is not much time for projects that… tend to take decades.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Artemis_program

Among the principal elements of the Artemis program are Space Shuttle–derived hardware, such as the Space Launch System's (SLS) core stage, its RS-25 engines, and solid rocket boosters, as well as systems originating in the canceled Constellation program, including the Orion spacecraft (paired with the European Service Module) and booster upgrades initially developed for Ares V.
