Artemis II

[Trevor Morley's Tache]

so they cleared the airspace before take off what about space junk, satellites and space station did they just shout go away

Space junk down to a relatively small size can be tracked by ground-based radar. Plus, it has a very predictable path. They will know with a high degree of certainty where it is and how to avoid it. The problem is the smaller bits they can't see that still have the potential to end a mission.

The algorithms did me a solid today. Randomly stumbled across a flat earth group, as you can imagine it's been bombarded from all 4 directions with people asking the morons to explain this, their attempts to counter it have been glorious. I think it is the ones that choose to laugh and claim everybody else is deluded and gullible that are my favourites, they're a truly special but quite worrying breed.

Have you come across the chemtrail loonies yet?

Apparently, the mission is being used as a disguise for a mass 'spraying event' which is going to effect the whole planet.

My algorithms stopped finding things from those maniacs. They used to piss me right off as it was constant. Dickheads!

People with 'Dr' in their username who simply don't understand simple scientific facts.

I used to take great pleasure in making them look dumb, but it quickly got boring.

Bringing in those Nazi's after WW2 was a pretty good idea.

They didn't have to let them run the country, though.

I thought it was landing in the moon this time! Seems it’s a recon taking photos of areas for a landing next time! Shame but makes sense..

Still don't get the hype - moon landing was achieved almost 60 years ago....
It will be interesting to see how that flag buzz Aldrin and co planted back then is doing - I suppose the constant cycle of freezing / scorching might have trashed it leaving just the flag pole. Difficult to find on such a big space, but I suppose NASA will still have some sort of coordinates for the original landing ;-)

There is no dark side of the moon really, matter of fact it's all dark.

If things had work out differently when the USA was in it’s birth pangs they might well have adopted German as their official language.

Absolute textbook launch. Well done to all involved.

Go Artemis!

I watched it live last night and the lift off was amazing, even watching it in bed on telly it was spectacular. I wonder how those astronauts felt strapped to those seats in the first couple of seconds. With all the training in the world, I wonder if for a second your body is left where it was and you find yourself propelled up and away. Within two minutes the rocket was travelling supersonic then after five minutes or so 15 thousand miles per hour. That’s like travelling to South America and back in one hour:) Incredible. I’ve just watched the BBC news update coverage and the science editor Rebecca Morelle, she’s almost crying with excitement during the lift off. Great telly.

Mike Mercury was the pilot of Supercar, Steve Zodiac was the pilot of Fireball XL5

And Troy Tempest should have been shagging that milfy bird as opposed to being besotted with that big eyed fish who looked liked she'd never washed her hair

 

[Elbow beards]

Mans ingenuity never ceases to amaze, the brain power and skill to construct and send that to the Moon is almost beyond comprehension.

Just 66 years from the first maned flight to putting man on the moon. Unbelievable.

You mean Atlanta, Commander Shores daughter, yes she was the fittest of the two

I'm a retired achaeologist and I've studied how, for the vast majority of human existence, the biggest technological advancements were changes in the use of stone tools. To go from that to this is mind boggling.

Just getting a human being into orbit is hard and amazing enough, no matter how many times it happens. It's an engineering and technical achievement with no compare.

That we've only got to the moon a handful of times shows the challenge. For me, the hype is very much justified.

NASA do have the co-ordinates of every moon landing and have pictures from satellite's high above the moon of the landers etc. The flag would most definetly now be scorched from the sun.

Actually it was 8 years. Gagarin in 1961 and Armstrong and Aldrin in 1969.

Unless you meant the Wright brothers, if so I apologise.

Wonderful, isn’t it? Thanks for posting.

In 95 we were on holiday in Orlando didn’t realise there was sxshittle launch until we turned the tv on, ran outside to see it soaring to space, gutted really as I’d have gone to Canaveral for it had I known, it was still some sight though.
