mostly, I read about the updates on many live-feeds that keep tracking it... and from time to time, I just watch and listen to the NASA stream on YouTube
just some seconds ago... they reached the closest point to the moon they will reach on this particular mission (around 4060 miles off the far side of the moon we never really see) and they're taking a whole lot of picture too... lol
Not really. I know the moon from down here. Anyhow... another "Houston. We have a problem" would be cool to see. It's a little like motorbike racing: you want to see something spectecular and unusual. One - for the money. Two - for the show. Three - to get ready... now Four, let's go
The moon always looks insanely cool 🤯🌕 Artemis II makes it even more exciting, knowing humans are actually going back around it. Those recent high-res shots and simulations are so cinematic, they feel like frames from a sci‑fi movie 🎬✨
I love watching the live streams or NASA clips at night with the lights off. The moon totally steals the show every time 😍🌌
Not really. Where's the actual livestream? ISS has shown better shit for over a decade! Hell the moon was overvisited by the early 80's. Should have been a orbit of Venus, Nasa talking about future Mars visits..
What I mean is actual livestream, not visualizations mostly. How in the solar system have we not improved wifi to show a constant, round the clock actual view?
There are also satellites that transmit data to and from... Space! I feel like this whole thing was a complete waste of time and money. A flyby of Venus would be far more interesting!
It takes months to get to Venus 🙃 Going to the moon is how we learn how to get to other planets. Much safer to test technology with a 10 day round trip than a 10 month one.
10 months? An estimated journey to Mars is 7 which would be a round trip for Venus. We as humans played out the moon in the 70's, ok early 80's. It's time to get more bold about space exploration. These astronauts understand the risks and put their lives on the line every blast off.
10 months round trip to Venus, it takes 3-5 months to get there. Nobody mentioned Mars. We are visiting the moon again to do research on further space exploration. The trips to the moon before were incredibly advanced for the time, its insane that we were able to do it with the technology that we had at the time. Now we know much more we can get more out of the trip
At some point, the Earth will become uninhabitable when the Sun goes nova (or even before that). All life on Earth will die. Therefore, if you want human life to continue, then we need to find a way to make humans move to and live in other solar systems. Well, every journey, no matter how long, has to begin with those first early steps. Artemis II is among those very first early steps toward human interstellar colonization which will be necessary for the survival of the human species. In short, it's an investment in our future.
@abc3643 I don't disagree completely but if we have the money to go to Mars (for ex one day) and make an inhabitable planet habitable, we have the money to fix our planet that is still very habitable today. We need to spend money on preserving our planet.
@Friendlybro79 I agree; we have the money to transform the world into a much better place.
But, that's irrelevant.
The Sun WILL go nova and this planet WILL become uninhabitable no matter what we do. Therefore, for the human race to live beyond that moment, we must, as a species, spread beyond this solar system. We can't do that yet. But it will take generations of effort before we can do that. And every undertaking has begin sometime.
Yes. I do know. I've had a physics degree for 41 years and later worked at The Aerospace Corporation, an space think tank. I know a great deal about space - probably more than anyone else here.
Let's pretend it's 1850 and you live in NY. The 1850 version of you asks: "Do you have any idea how long it would take to get to California?" I reply: "3 months in a covered wagon if your lucky." But I understand this concept of trains... With trains, we could make that trip in days, ... if we have the tracks and supporting infrastructure to do so. So, I am happy to invest in railroads. That's how a lot of people felt because they understood the value of investment for the future. That's why "The Golden Spike" was laid down in 1869. Now we can get across the county by train in 3 days... and by plane in 5 hours.
You don't make the future happen unless you invest in the future today.
@Staximus "We will be long extinct by the time the sun consumes the Earth." I don't necessarily agree with that although, based on history, that's likely. However, no species has had the power and knowledge that we have.
"We just have to stop being stupid and destroying this planet." I agree. Don't tell me. Tell the GOP and their voters.
I’m a little irritated about their toilet problems. I thought astronauts were smarter than that. All they have to do is jiggle the handle, and it’ll be fine.
