Gonna delete this account in the next couple of days just to start over and get a fresh timeline. If any of my mutuals want I made a new account @Unixsystem13 and I'll refollow over there.
@_HanTyumi@justinackermann@DJSnM Everyone who jumped on the hate train was vindicated. We all knew that there was a high chance the vehicle would be fine but I thought we all agreed that a "high chance" doesn't cut it after Columbia?
@DJSnM@justinackermann@_HanTyumi They lost another RCS thruster after undocking. Just because they happened to have enough margin to survive doesn't make the vehicle any less of an abject disaster.
@bindureddy This is OpenAI. They'll sell it to government and big business and forget the common man because they are absolute whores for establishment money.
@kriissaa_krae @lporiginalg Even if it made the woman irresitibly physically attractive (it doesn't) it comes at the cost of revealing how mentally revolting she is.
@DJSnM The astronauts were and still are stranded in space. Just because in hindsight the vehicle probably would have worked doesn't change the fact that the safety factor was not good enough for anyone involved to trust it.
@robo_zbb@CommanderRex7 Same, I just prefer to have it remain a (mostly) great show in the past than have it tainted by some halfassed reboot like everything else from that era.
@robo_zbb@CommanderRex7 Take those feelings and bury them. We don't need another classic show ruined by modern Hollywood. The last couple seasons were already struggling to justify themselves as is.
@xdNiBoR@deltaIV9250 Last I saw he had "moved on" to attacking people for other unrelated things. Because the instant he was proven absolutely wrong his only possible way of saving face was to just avoid the issue entirely.
@NASA Porkchop diagram of Earth-to-Mars
This shows the next month there would be an easy ~6 month travel time flight, but middle of 2025 there is a slightly harder window that takes about 2 years of travel.
(Description, more details and link to @CJHandmer source in the alt)
How exactly are they planning to get to Mars with a 2025 launch? Venus assist, or just a memo written by someone who doesn't understand that the next transfer window is 2026?
NASA's ESCAPADE (Escape and Plasma Acceleration and Dynamics Explorers) mission is now targeting a launch in 2025. ESCAPADE's two satellites will investigate how solar wind interacts with the magnetic environment of Mars. Learn more: https://t.co/eIoFQ0BbPO
@garrett_wollman@MoncureIvan@380kmh It's only uneconomical because we have an infinite stream of illegals streaming in who will work for slave wages. Remove the illegals and suddenly the R&D incentives change.
