Existential dread over the incoming insane propaganda around Artemis II.

Correct. Seriously the guy is on X basically all day and is just another trump terminally online weirdo whose main goal is to be noticed by trump himself. They are going to propaganda the shit out of Artemis II and it will be gross, I hate it.

An entire administration of reactionary grifter posters all the way from the top down to the spokeswomen of NASA.

Be a solutions guy, not a problems guy.

I’m really really REALLY going to hate how hard they politicize Artemis and it’s going to make the 65-70% of the non maga people in the country dislike NASA a bit because of it. They infect all corners of society with their toxic politics, nothing we enjoy is safe.

That 11 billion in 6 days is just under half of NASA’s entire budget for a year. Drop in the bucket

All teams polled said GO for #ArtemisII - rollout to pad next week on 19 March. Launch date as early as 1 April at 6:24 pm EDT - Another opportunity on 2 April would be at 7:22 pm - 4 launch opportunities within that 6 day period in April.

We should absolutely still be going to the moon! More money on science and exploration, less on war!

It's not the NASA Administrator's role to go off and advocate for an unpopular war. I would think the Human Landing System's problems would occupy enough of his time. It should be interesting when he enters into negotiations with Artemis partners from this point forward.

It's been nearly six months now since my felony charges were dismissed. The DOJ still has possession of my entire newsroom, because they've filed a notice of appeal (but have not actually filed the appeal yet).

All of the normie liberal space twitter people simping for Jared are going to look so stupid when this is all over.

Dude spends all day posting on Twitter and glazing trump

Same age my grandpa dementia started getting noticeably worse, got lost on the way home and needed help. If your on foot hiking, that would be real bad. Just another possibility

Haven’t been able to use Xbox app on my pc for months, some error with user authentication conflict with Microsoft store that refuses to go away.

I used the Xbox app for a few years prior to it freaking out permanently and have no idea what Xbox full screen experience is.

I hate to say this but Artemis at this point is a giant poorly planned pile of hopium. The amount of stuff HLS needs to do just to attempt an uncrewed demo landing is mind boggling, no shot we are getting on the surface this decade.

Top comment on X was “how did you guys manage to make a more boring track than Detroit” lol

Good history lesson on computer memory and DRAM with a few bonus mentions of Apollo

Political hackery and frankly just a lie from Jared

MISSION SUCCESS for Rocket Lab's 83rd Electron launch, deploying a single Earth observation satellite to a 470km LEO for the "Insight At Speed Is A Friend Indeed" mission.

The element? The part that is actually holding up the program with little to no progress in quite some time

Think it’s been pretty clear to us who follow spaceflight as the only progress on a lander we have seen is an elevator and some new renders every now and again. Pretty sure they were even rumored to be wanting out of it just last year

SpaceX plan for getting a functioning lander ready quicker is….prioritizing it?

I’m sorry but shouldn’t that have been a priority the past 5 years instead of spinning every flight doing starlink tests?

There is no reason to assume a different stage(modified centaur v) will be ready any quicker than EUS for SLS and currently the upper stage has not caused a single significant delay to any mission. They just keep repeating this non sense AND THE GOAL HAS ALWAYS BEEN 1 A YEAR. I am going to go insane

This “current cadence is 3+ years so we changed the future upper stage” reasoning is disingenuous.

Delay between A1 and A2 was due to Orion investigation

Future delay between A2 and A3 is due to HLS

They are basically using A3 rocket for a LEO mission and claiming success on increased cadence

Temporary band aid for the self inflicted wound doge gave NASA

A birthday launch for me during daytime!?! LFG 🚀

Yeah fair, good practice but not what it was intended for. Not that risky so keep it in mission

SLS will fly sooner on Artemis III by changing its mission. The cadence for operational flights may improve by 2 months from 12-14 to 10-12 down the road but EUS has nothing to do with that as core stage production time is 12 months so I am a bit confused about these changes.
