Introducing our first completed test capsule, Spaceship Neptune - Excelsior. Excelsior is now the largest

capsule in existence, and soon to be the largest human

in operation (excluding the International Space Station). Its spherical capsule is 16 feet
So I was watching don't look up on netflix and they brought the shuttle out of retirement. Why do all movies do this lol. Also the launch sequence ain't right too.
Anti-Space exploration folks should remember one thing. Imagine if a caveman thousands of years ago said to his pals we should venture beyond this cave but they said "no too many problems in this cave" well maybe the solutions to some problems lie outside the cave.
With an estimated price tag of $4.2 billion per launch, is it sustainable for NASA to send humans to the moon and ultimately Mars? 60 Minutes asks Jim Free, who oversees the Artemis program.
What Starship doomers will say:
"It will never fly"
"It will never reach orbit"
"They will never be reused"
"It will never deliver payloads"
"It will never go to the moon"
"It will never fly humans"
"It will never go to mars"
"It's still impractical" even with all this
This weird Starship thingy without forward flaps made an appearance in Verizon's Super Bowl commercial. I'm surprised it wasn't T-Mobile, considering that Starship is literally going to launch their satellites

The International Space Station (ISS) was built over a period of 13 years, from 1998 to 2011.
The first module, the Russia Zarya, was launched on November 20, 1998, and the last module, Leonardo Permanent Multipurpose Module, was launched in 2011.
The ISS is an orbital
Shitfuck-1 (the Spitter Alliance rocket) will take

around Mars then on a straight shot trajectory towards earth where it'll do a suicide burn before landing on the VAB at KSC.
We're hosting a media teleconference at 1pm ET (1700 UTC) on April 15 to discuss next steps for the Mars Sample Return program following an independent review board report from September 2023:
How long do you think it would take for humanity to return to space after a civilization ending event that somehow leaves no government intact? (e.g pandemic,nuclear war,zombies, asteroid etc.)
@deltaIV9250
Later Artemis missions beyond A5 are supposed to have the pressurised rover sent prior to the surface expedition but that's most likely only a concept and not definite.
Spaceflight timeline:
2020s-2050s- LEO space stations, crewed return to moon and first lunar space station
2050s-2090s- First Small Scale Moon bases and Crewed Mars mission
2100-2200- Large Moon Bases and return to mars.
2200-2300- First permanent Mars presence
One thing that doesn't make sense is how the shuttle is remote controlled and the abort sequence is given the go ahead by the president but nobody at NASA is aware of this somehow and the flight director even says "can someone tell me what the fuck just happened?".
I think the most embarrassing part of a spitter meetup would be having to go up and state your twitter name to everyone:
“Hi, I’m Apogee”
“No way! I’m blobifi”
“Who were you talking to?”
“Oh, that’s Endeavour, she’s over there with Tygget and Phazzee”

@ArcCosmic
Alex ries' are definitely some of the most realistic aliens in all of scfi. Everything about their history and biology is incredibly detailed and plausible. Even down to how they run.
It seems that everytime an asteroid flybys earth, the media always use some ridiculous form of measurement like how am I supposed to know how big 6 peacocks is?
