Itll scrub to 2025 or even 2026 probably

>>15951388
Why is a leaf aboard this vessel?

>>15951388
>get hype.
didn't we land on the moon 60 years ago?

>>15951437

There's gonna be a base this time.

>>15951471
What crater will it be based on? Serious question, where the fuck will they land and what is there? Any cool impact site with non-lunar samples?

>>15951474

IIRC lunar south pole for access to constant sunlight and water ice. What's there are metallic ores from which to construct spacecraft, then launch from lunar microgravity. Larger payloads for less fuel. Everything we want to build in space can be bigger, for less money, because Earth's gravity well is no longer the bottleneck.

>>15951474
The south pole is all one giant impact basin

>>15951494
I see, so they are serious about a permanent base if that is the location?
>What's there are metallic ores from which to construct spacecraft
that is very ambitious, I was more interested in Helium-3
>>15951508
Yeah but if you study earth science you already know about the mantle minerals on moon and the regolith. I want primitive meteorites that were not fucked up by Earth's rain and atmosphere. Reflecting the original isotopic composition of the solar system. If you can collect those in large numbers it is easier than building landers for asteroids like JAXA/ESA.

>>15951539
fucked up by the atmosphere not only by terms of reaction, but also heating up during their fall on earth, ignoring the shocking from impact, which is unpreventable on moon either.

>>15951535

>Crewed lunar slingshot mission is now scifi

>>15951437

I dont think Artemis II is landing. They are going to do an Apollo 8.

>>15951437
Apollo program was just "foot and flag" mission, Artemis's goal is building a permanent base on the Moon.

>>15951428
it shouldn't. it's just artemis 1 with people on board. they should have worked out all the kinks with that the first time. nothing new to go wrong

>>15951388
Oh goody, more fake shit from NASA to try to propagandize hope and change when 3/4 of the country can't afford rent or groceries. Thank god the boomers are dead, otherwise there might be someone in the great satan that would believe this horseshit.

lefty progressive zoomer tranny talking points
L

>>15951434
same reason there's a leaf aboard any other american vessel, every once in a while they build us a robot arm so we send one of them to space as thanks

How will 4 people spend 3 weeks in this amount of space?

>>15951646
You mean fucking reality?

>>15951805
i bet u Emily 14 they/them blm uploaded the same article to her twitter lel

>>15951810

How did you type this and not feel ashamed of your deficits

>>15951814
goofy ahhh boomer doesn't know the state of genz/alpha :skull:

>>15951535
this, stop being a desperate attention whore and just post your spaceflight posts in the spaceflight general like everyone else does

>>15951794
and how do they sterilize EVERYTHING? I mean there's bound to have some transfer from Earth to Moon. do they pretend it doesn't happen or?

>>15951849
It's not a polar opposite it's a equatorial opposite.

>>15951851
Like a line with two ends rather than a two sided magnet.

>>15951388
This will help people on Earth have better lives and more freedom!

>>15951854
Why would you be evil if it is a pin in the apparatus with a good cycling effect? You would essentially be playing with the pin and ruining the machine. Then your only basis is a false good, is it not? Because you claim it's good, when it's not. And thus the product of evil is nil and determined as alien to good. Not competitor

>>15951805
NASA's budget is relatively small compared to the programs that actually impact that stuff, even if they shut it down the money wouldn't be enough to have much of an impact if reallocated to some commie shit

>>15951857
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaallrighty

>>15951862
Nobody is talking about NASA's budget, you liberal retard. We're talking about NASA's shilling to distract from the country collapsing.

>>15951388
this mission is useless. the entire point for this mission was to collect samples from the asteroid redirect mission, but now that that's cancelled, there is no point. they're just wasting money

>>15951869
Alien inside

>>15951388
Amerilards aren't going anywhere.
AmeriSHART state is bankrupt

>>15951878
lol no one cares about artemis outside of space enthusiasts
the average normie prob doesn't even know artemis exists as a program, but i bet they do know about spaceX and starship
so this whole narrative about "distracting the American public" makes no sense

>>15951794
It's doable if you only do men and don't add women to the mix as well
Or only women, but lol. lmao

>>15952580
The avg person may have kinda heard of SpaceX, but they absolutely have not of Starship. I basically haven't bothered to keep up with it for 2 years, and I have it seen not once outside things outside my tailored Twatter feed. I don't even get YouTube recs anymore. Why would norms?

>>15951388
>Extremely whitewashed man with 1/15th black in him
>A Jewy looking woman
I'm going to be on the edge of my seat waiting to watch the inevitably explosion or decompression accident that kills them all.

>>15951388
Backup crew

>>15952925
ironic considering trannies and nogs cry about how spaceflight is a wasteful expense that should go to welfare n shiet
so i fail to see how this helps their cause

>>15951539
We have nothing to use He3 for. We can use metals immediately.

>>15951539
they can also use the ice at the poles to get water and make LH2 which is used for NTRs

>>15952750
>NASA grieves, and then declares the problem was not enough nogs and women
Government needs to burn

>>15952978
There's no ice at the poles, just ambiguous evidence of trace amounts of hydroxide

>>15952580
>the average normie prob doesn't even know artemis exists as a program,

It's on the news. Have you been living under a rock?

>>15953186
only boomers watch the news bro. and i bet they memory hole it right after its done airing
no one is gonna talk about it until it happens or it gets delayed again

>>15953186
I went to the space exhibit at my local museum and complained to them about how they didn't mention the artemis program anywhere. the lady working there asked me what it was

>>15953343
Because it's fake dum dum

>>15951585
>permanent
>only actually being on the moon for a few days at a time, once a year
Yeah that's a recipe for failure. Anything less than a continuous human presence is going to be delayed and scrubbed to death.

>>15951849
not my problem

>>15953343
In their defense the artemis 2 isnt even going to land theyre literally just doing a flyby. It's a complete nothing burger mission.

>>15953772
interesting...
So Artemis is a psyop to "distract" the American public yet they don't bother to make people aware of it in the first place?
damn, the government is really bad at psyops huh?

>>15953821
how was apollo 8 covered in the media?
