Let's say you are given the opportunity to go to Mars when upon reaching the ripe old age of 50. You are guaranteed to die there, there's no return trip. You'll be able to fuck around for a week on a rover before running out of supplies. Do you take it? What about the moon?

I've always wanted to die on Mars, but probably not at 50.

NASA had a meeting today to work on the A3 operation plan. Now, assume both Blue and Moonship are ready. Moonship won't be, but let's pretend:

NSF: It appears that you think Orion will transfer crew to the HLS and then undock with crew left aboard the HLS, and then dock again to transfer crew back to Orion. And then do it again with the second HLS. That sounds ambitious, but it also sounds like each step is useful and is needed. Do we have any hint from NASA that this is the plan? The second docking of each pair would ideally have the HLS as the active docker and and Orion as the passive target.

Consider Orion holds 4 astronauts. Two stay aboard. Which means the two sent over to the landers must be cross trained on both vehicles. Challenging.

Blue: From Moon dust to fresh air, our Air Pioneer technology turns lunar regolith into breathable oxygen, ready for astronauts returning to the Moon. At our Space Resources Center of Excellence in LA, we developed a reactor (left) that melts regolith simulant and passes a current through it to release oxygen and other gases. The gases flow into the purification system (right) and emerge as medical- and propellant-grade oxygen. A flight-qualified Air Pioneer at this same scale could provide the first breath of life for a sustainable Moon base

Meanwhile over at SpaceX, nothing much.

Didn't Skylab have an issue where astronauts would get stuck floating in the big open space with nothing to pull/push on, so they had to wait until the air draft would push them or they would have to throw their shirt to move again? In microgravity that much open space seems like a liability.

what if they miss

>>16951590
if they got stuck in a highly elliptical orbit then a retrograde burn at apogee should be enough but it would make the mission a lot longer than planned
besides that, Orion is only designed to support the crew for 21 days I think so depending on the severity of the error they'd have to order a deep power-down of everything non-essential and carefully manage their resources even if they did have enough fuel to force a reentry on a second orbit
if they didn't have fuel then a rescue is basically impossible since HEO requires a lot of delta-v that isn't ready to launch right now and the right orbital phasing would take days

basically they're fucked, china wins

if sci is dead as well generally then they get to 1000 maybe (and are around like 5 days)

two because of image limit and this one because of early staging

>>16951788
let me guess, they called it starshop?

>>16951796
Yes that's the counterintuitive part: the shield can handle the peak heating better than it can the outgassing

>>16951796
The problem was the thermal cycling, because the original trajectory on artemis 1 was to dip down and then come back up again, it experienced a heating load and then cooled back down again, growing and shrinking due to thermal expansion, this then supposedly caused small tears in the carbon ablatir which allowed plasma to travel futher up into the heatshield structure than designed, generating gas bubbles which then blew off chunks of heatshield behind them.
The solution for artemis 2 is just not using 2 heatloads and doing it all at once.

The $16B is not profit its revenue, and I strongly suggest to learn the difference before investing. The $8B figure is EBITDA, also known as, earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, AND amortization. For a company running around 9500 LEO satellites with a less than 5 year lifespan, depreciation is the business. Their FCC filings show that about 500 satellites deorbited just in the first of half of 2025 alone, and they were all under 5 years old.

The estimates for constellation sustenance are currently at $5-8B per year in satellite manufacturing (about $500K each) and launch costs are about $3M each. That is the real capex that EBITDA hides. Net income has never been disclosed and probably for good reason... And lets not even mention the $19 billion EchoStar acquisition who is almost certainly! not included in the $8 billion EBITDA figures reported...

The most critical is that xAI is excluded from the number. XAI had a $1.46B net loss in Q3 2025 on just $107M in revenue, accelerating from $1B the prior quarter. They were burning $1B a month at the time of filing. This pig was then merged into SpaceX in Feb 2026 along with X/Twitter. So start with $8B EBITDA, subtract $5-8B satellite replacement, subtract $4-6B per year in xAI losses, subtract interest and taxes specially amortization and you are very very deep in the red. Once audited financials go public, every analyst with a calculator and a working brain will see this. Also the revenue is largely circular... Over 70% of Falcon 9 launches in 2025 were internal Starlink missions so SpaceX is its own biggest customer. Starlink is 70% of total revenue. The so called "launch business" and "internet business" are the same capital cycle booked as two revenue lines ;-)

Replace legacy ISPs? Really? Starlink has 0.2% residential market share after 5 years, with declining ARPU ($85 avg vs $120 US) and congestion already emerging at 10M subs. It is a niche rural/maritime ISP, not an AT&T killer.

I ain't reading all that.
I'm happy for you, or sad that happened.

Do you ever look at these diagrams and think about how the logistics don't pan out in the slightest? People don't pay money for corpses and the half-dead, and even the most callous would need to give water to these men for them to survive for sale, and that means they have to be able to distribute it. This kind of packing density is far in excess of what is feasible without great expense and effort.

just read that the crew mortality rate (25%) was even higher than the slave mortality (15-18%) rate during the voyage
though the slaves were "seasoned" after getting to the americas and there the mortality was like 25-50% and even after that mortality was high

are these russian moon missions? are they manned and is their goal to land on the moon with humans?

I think you misunderstood. I was asking for the full resolution. Take a look at what the various resolutions are and then take a look at the file format. A full-sized image, uncompressed, on a modern DSLR is enormous in both resolution and file size. 4000x3000 and even 4000x8000 is not. Especially not when you're talking about a jpeg that might be a few megs at most. The originals are far larger, in much greater fidelity, and don't have their colors crushed to shit by jpeg's shitty encode. If NASA is going to release these in their native res, cool, but each photo will be a hundred megs. If NASA wants to sell posters of them? Even better, saves me the hassle. Neither of those things are on their official image page.

>Mission VA268: Ariane 6 has reached the launch pad. At Europe’s Spaceport in Kourou, the central core of Ariane 6 for mission VA268 has been transferred from the Launcher Integration Building (BAL) to the launch pad. Once in front of the mobile gantry, the stage was raised to a vertical position, a key milestone in the launcher assembly process. This operation initiates the final assembly phase on the pad, where Ariane 64, the most powerful version of Ariane 6, will progressively come together. Scheduled for April 28, 2026, mission VA268 will place 32 Amazon Leo satellites into low Earth orbit, demonstrating once again Ariane 6’s capability to support large-scale constellation deployments. The campaign is underway.

>>16952057
So just say you're looking for the raw files, retard. I'm almost certain that those are just the .jpegs that were processed by the camera itself. They're not shit quality in the slightest, and are absolutely at the full sensor resolution for both the D5 and Z9.
It's also possible that they weren't even shooting with raw enabled and you'll never get the "full resolution" photos
