Artemis II

[tamworthblue]

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.

Yes they were called ‘slide rules’! Most of the kids today would struggle to hold one let alone use one. FOC also a physicist.

bloody hell it's pissing down now sky was clear and sunny and washing was dry that bloody rocket spreading chemicals

Did you listen to NASA speaking to them? Travelling at 2300 miles per hour. Astonishing, it really is.

Missed a zero off that I think? To leave Earth's gravitational pull I think you need to exceed 25,000mph. And it will still take days to reach the Moon.

Oh I did, what a fool I am. I’ll change it.

Think you mean Apollo 13.

Nope he’s right.
Apollo 11

Take it The Flat Earthers have claimed bollocks on the pictures of earth the astronauts took from the ship?

The turtles are on the other side

Think my taxi driver in Germany on Monday managed that.

They'll come back and say how many stars they could see! That was a thing wasn't it? When those guys that supposedly landed on the moon said they didn't see any stars? Out of the lunar module, they go oh the sun wasn't pointing the right way.. Meanwhile stars are Suns!

and thats why we need speed cameras ............. really ............ just people taking the piss

Fuck me Dr Maggie has lost some timber, 3 stone in 14 weeks. Looks very good.

She does. I love listening to her, so enthusiastic.

Looks like a 2d piccy....it's flat ;)

A bloke at work yesterday kept telling me to look at all the vapour trails in the sky spreading this that and the other.
Earth's flat .

Blah blah.
Fucking mad twat

Years ago I was at my missus’ house waiting for a worker to come and do something with the drains. He did that and then, for some fucking reason, went on one about flat earth and that it’s real. Took a piece of paper out and started going on about how the sun and moon can be seen at the same time, and how could that be of the earth was round? Then started about if you went to the top of the Empire State Building, you would be able to see all the wonders of the world if you had a powerful enough telescope. He wasn’t messing either. The crazed look in his eye proved that.

Presume he went on to clear more shit out of more drains after that. Boring ****.

I assume when Artemis II goes dark side of the moon they'll loose communication.

Been re-listening to Public Service Broadcasting "Race for Space" Album this week.


I can highly recommend

You do realise it's been absolutely proven that they indeed did land on the moon.

Several times.

Now we know going to the moon is a hoax
The moon is roughly 250,000 miles from earth, so travelling at 25,000 MPH, the journey should be in the region of ten hours, not five days

 

[N1985]

The Artemis live stream on YouTube is perfect to fall asleep to. Background white noise with the occasional mission directive and crew comments every so often.

I'm in absolute awe of it all

They need to go at that speed to get into space. They're now travelling at approx. 4000 mph
