i’m on some kind of gayass journey

[son of a juice @gemseeds]

@IrateMaxwell it’s been done many times with missions involving a capsule! they’re all designed for their own purpose, lunar heat shields are ablative so they burn away unlike the shuttle tiles which were made to be reused

[son of a juice @gemseeds]

@Desi_isFatal @amandaforealz they’re using the same reentry method as lots of capsule missions! not untested by any means

[son of a juice @gemseeds]

@Desi_isFatal the ablative heat shield is designed for a direct entry during which it burns up to absorb the heat; artemis 1 did a skip entry, meaning the exterior went hot/cool/hot which led to the cracking. they’re gonna be more careful with a crewed mission

@Bainne18 sorry it also brought up the hubble space telescope in pieces

[son of a juice @gemseeds]

@Bainne18 its primary mission was to get payload for the ISS into orbit so it was discontinued once that was finished!

[son of a juice @gemseeds]

@Bainne18 after columbia, a maneuver was implemented where the shuttle flipped upside down in orbit so the ISS crew could check the heat shield for damage, which is what caused the disaster. many shuttle missions were flown afterward, incl by the first female shuttle pilot eileen collins!

@Bainne18 it was very innovative, it was the first spacecraft designed to be reused, hence the glider/“space plane” design, + the capacity for huge payloads. but it took massive power to get it into space, and focus was shifted to more efficient vehicles after the ISS was built

@djosource i’m scared

@antlcr the wolf trapp to baltimore round trip might be the most diabolical part of the show

unfortunately once you have tasted the service industry you can settle for neither
