Artemis II

I find it all quite interesting. India's probe landing was very interesting in 2023 and it seems to have reignited moon and space exploration.

Burn done, next catching a slingshot round the moon.

Amazing that they can calculate the exact position and tilt of the Orion craft, the exact amount of thrust needed and the amount of time to burn to land in a point in space that the moon will be in a number of days time.

As human beings we really do concentrate our energy in the wrong place most of the time. We are more interested in blowing ourselves up.

Just shows how important Mathematics is, all parents should instil that into their children.

The most powerful rocket NASA has built and one of the biggest and look how tiny it, and we are, compared to the surrounding world.

Astonishing we can get people into orbit, let alone even attempt a slingshot round the Moon.

On their way now with the point of no return having passed. Not enough fuel for a u-turn, so it’s all about the maths now to get them round the moon and home.

On the Orion craft they do have an emergency system to get back without the slingshot however it can only be used in the first 36 hours after the translunar burn. It's also never been tested so let's hope they don't have to.

They can also thankfully use the engines built by ESA to correct the course if the maths are a little off. But what they want is not use any fuel at all.

I think Apollo 11 was the last free return trajectory.

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.

They’ve fallen into mine now too. I laughed at a video theorising that the safety cage that can be seen coming away seconds before launch is infact loaded with the crew.

Since then there’s been posts and reels galore of absolute nutters, flat earth loons and people that truly believe anyone who was watching live on the beaches had been paid, and us on telly watched a hologram.

It’s exhausting trying to comprehend what these loonies believe.

Did you listen to NASA speaking to them? Travelling at 23000 miles per hour. Astonishing, it really is.

Having worked through some of these types of calculations myself doing my physics degree, once you remove the atmosphere from a scenario, the maths becomes surprisingly simple. Though doesn’t make the precision any less impressive.

This is why I can’t abide the whole “there’s no way we went to the moon when the 1969 lunar module had less compute power than a modern calculator” argument. What do those people think the computer is actually doing? It’s not rendering a video game in 4k resolution or running some crazy simulation. It’s literally just taking measurements from the navigation instruments and then multiplying numbers together, you don’t need big computers for that. NASA staff used to do loads of these calculations by hand.

Going to the moon has always been a challenge in engineering and material sciences, not a computational challenge.

Think you mean Apollo 13.

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.

I’m still waiting to be killed by the Covid vaccine which I was absolutely 100% assured by these people would have taken me out by now. I asked one of them to confirm that with me in writing and they did.

Oh and if the Covid vaccine didn’t do that then 5G would. And chemtrails are another form of population control deployed by the Illuminati/Rothschilds/Bilderberg/Blackrock/WEF/whoever it is this week. Seems to change every year and has done since about 2008.

All of these doomsday conspiracies and yet life seems to proceed with unyielding monotony. Oh, and the global population keeps increasing, go figure.

Tickled me that! Chapeau.
