NASA and its planned moon landing

[Dayton3]

Living in a Space Colony sounds romantic
I can’t see where the reality would be that appealing

Doesn't change the fact that you would likely have no shortage of qualified volunteers.

I wouldn't want to visit the moon because it has no magnetic field, so it is exposed to harsh solar winds. Heard China is going there in 2030s, so that is good enough.

There's no one in charge of NASA's mega-moon program. And the countdown clock is ticking.

All the complex systems under development — the rocket, the capsule, lunar landers and spacesuits — still have to go under one roof. And quickly.

This way when it fails nobody can be blamed.......NASA isnt even a shell of its former self.

Like there was anyone in charge of the Moon landings before the project was started in the 1960s

There was no Moon Landing program before Kennedy announced it in September 1962.

In 1962, Keith Glennan was NASA administrator. He had been since the agency was formed from NACA in 1958.

I recommend a fat black lesbian or a dude that like to wear dresses

They seem to be the most qualified for any government job these days

Back then there was a purpose pushed by the Cold War. Today, we seem to be dragging our feet a bit. They have the hardware it seems but no real plan on what to do as they need resources to push the boundaries. Even so what they would do when they return to the moon may have different outcomes now. The international space station is a ball and chain to us because of other countries involved and we pay 90% of its maintenance and costs anyway. 3 billion dollars a year to keep it going.

Because "winning" seems the only reason to bother going to the Moon for.

Launch of Artemis 1 tomorrow at 8:33 am. I'm excited about it even if I'm the only one

Moonshot by committee....The most certain way to fail.

 

[Carl in Michigan]

Not sure gow many realize it, but "Artemis" was the twin sister of Apollo. I thought that was a fitting name for a renewed moon mission

They built this shit with brainiacs, blackboards, and slide rules, not an army of bureaucrats and social justice nags.....

I was in Orlando once when a Shuttle was launched. Even from that distance I stood in awe of the power I could feel. The ground literally shook

The shockwave from the Apollo 11 ignition blew out windows in Titusville.

After three years of unsuccessful searches, the space agency NASA has to admit that the original images of the first moon landing in 1969 still cannot be found. It is assumed that the tapes were dubbed in the 1970s.

Original-Bilder verschwunden

Die Weltraumbehörde NASA muss nach drei Jahren erfolgloser Suche eingestehen, dass die Orignialbilder der ersten Mondlandung 1969 weiterhin nicht auffindbar sind. Vermutet wird, dass die Bänder in den 70er Jahren überspielt wurden.

40 years after the first man landed on the moon, the original recordings of the "event of the century" are still missing. This was announced by the US space agency NASA at a press conference in Washington. Even a three-year search for the magnetic tapes was unsuccessful, said Dick Nafzger, who was responsible for the recordings at the US space agency NASA. "We realize that this is bad news. We don't have the tapes." At the same time, NASA showed for the first time extensively restored recordings of the moon landing on July 20, 1969, which, however, come from TV material and other copies.

Isn't that enough?

 

[Fort Fun Indiana]

NASA isn't going to The Moon. They have no vehicle to take them there and no funded program to build one.

They are preparing for the first launch of the rocket that will take them to the moon. It's literally on the launch pad as I type this.

How many unsuccessful tests and flight cancellations have there been since they planned this unmanned stunt?

NASA wants to get it right
They are willing to cancel a flight rather than risk it

It is no stunt but a test of a new rocket
