Take Me To The Moon

What is grief, if not love persevering?

@SkyrootA Orbit on the first attempt! That's an incredibly rare feat, congratulations!

@Alexphysics13 I sense NASA pressure for tried and true Old Space Technology(tm) with less focus for reusability.

[Take Me To The Moon @ThirteenthAndy]

@davill Wow! Now that's a game changing timeline if they can achieve it.

@Ftjp1980 @NASAAdmin They did have a launch pad, though. It was called the Descent Stage.

@NASASpaceflight That second go / no go poll was a mess...

[Take Me To The Moon @ThirteenthAndy]

@NASASpaceflight Oh no. :(

[Take Me To The Moon @ThirteenthAndy]

@SpaceX Yikes. Those engines were really dancing. I can't see them approaching a catch tower with that movement quite yet.

[Take Me To The Moon @ThirteenthAndy]

@RoughRidersShow @NASASpaceflight That's insane! I can't believe that's allowed! So freaking cool.

@NASASpaceflight Holy crap, I thought the whole thing exploded. That was insane!!

[Take Me To The Moon @ThirteenthAndy]

@NASASpaceflight Can someone help with a question about the time / distance on this mission? The moon is about 250k miles away & Orion is traveling roughly 25k mph. How is it taking them until Monday to get to the fly-by, even with the trajectory not being a straight line?

[Take Me To The Moon @ThirteenthAndy]

@NASASpaceflight Can we really call it ICPS still? It's just CPS now... There's probably a joke in there somewhere but I don't want to think about it separating parents & children.

[Take Me To The Moon @ThirteenthAndy]

@Alexphysics13 @NASASpaceflight I guess if it's more efficient to keep up a high production cadence and there aren't enough Starships to attach them to... Retrofit Falcon 9? Or I suppose it could be a way to get a hell of a lot more frequent reentry data for the tiles.

@dpoddolphinpro @SenTedCruz @rookisaacman @NASA Basically "Per my previous email..." Lol!

[Take Me To The Moon @ThirteenthAndy]

@JeffBezos Incredible feat! Congratulations to everyone involved!

[Take Me To The Moon @ThirteenthAndy]

@dpoddolphinpro @northropgrumman @NASA Lol, at first I thought "NG - was that a New Glenn mission??"

[Take Me To The Moon @ThirteenthAndy]

@NASASpaceflight Come on, Starship, you can do it this time!

[Take Me To The Moon @ThirteenthAndy]

@LKHamilton I'm deep into editing my first novel and the question came to mind: How many drafts do you typically do at this point in your career as a long established pro?

[Take Me To The Moon @ThirteenthAndy]

@thejackbeyer I grew up in the Antelope Valley and the B2 was a fairly common sight, yet thrilling every single time.
