And here we go. We roll this beast out to the launch pad tomorrow, the start of our journey to send 4 humans around the Moon and back to Earth 🌖 🚀 Launch no earlier than Feb 6
11 million pounds. Four miles. 12 hours.
These are what the numbers look like for transporting a stacked Moon rocket from the Vehicle Assembly Building to Launchpad 39B. @NASAKennedy teams are targeting no earlier than 7am ET on Jan. 17 for rollout. https://t.co/nsXZfFX6y1
@SciGuySpace Try to be a fair and unbiased journalist for once. Your completely biased thinking is preventing you from drawing any sensical conclusions. Enough already.
Looking back on the launch that gave him goosebumps, Jeremy Pinier, SLS Projects Lead, shares his excitement for the #Artemis I mission as we celebrate a year since the launch of the Space Launch System.
@Space_Strategy And then what? You’re missing a stage there (think ESA’s service module for Orion). Even if Heavy could send Dragon on a TLI, how does Dragon get into Lunar orbit? How does it leave lunar orbit? Heatshield (as is) not designed for those reentry velocities. And ECLSS insufficient
@joshHuder If R’s have a hard time figuring out how to pass a defense approps bill, what do you think is the likelihood they pass approps or a CR for the rest of the govt before 10/1, avoiding a govt shutdown?
@elonmusk The amount of time humanity spends (wastes) on twitter every. single. day. is equal to one person spending over 15,220 years continuously on twitter, that’s 152 centuries, every day!! It’s interesting to imagine what humanity might accomplish without social media?
@joshHuder Fascinating. But why aren’t we seeing Dems making moves to try to pick a moderate Republican speaker of their choice? You’d think they’d easily be able to find the handful of votes necessary across the aisle for that…
The United States and France have partnered on space exploration for more than 60 years. It was my honor to welcome President Macron to @NASA to build on the progress we have made and strengthen our collaboration even further.
@PhilDicy Merci Philippe!!! Incroyables émotions pour nous tous hier, on a du mal à s’en remettre… Merci à toi d’avoir suivi cette mission de si près malgré la distance ;)
@SciGuySpace We don‘t “roll the dice” at NASA. It’s too bad you are such a biased space “reporter”. Always spinning things negatively without the knowledge. You should strive to do better as a journalist.
Congrats to @NASA_SLS & @NASAWebb for being named TIME 2022 Inventions of the Year! As the world's most powerful rocket & space telescope, these two amazing innovations are changing how we explore space and inspiring new generations to reach for the stars. https://t.co/PxgR4sXdtf
