Have you seen some of the James Webb satellite stuff that's been coming back?

Really interesting time ahead over the next couple of decades.

i love the james webb images, they are just on a new level

I meant to start a thread on here, which I'll prob get round to in the week. Absolutely mind blowing, especially as it's still so early.

:laugh:

sick of the moon

Even better! I'll start posting in it.

I'm a big space geek, so this is all awesome.

Though the cynic in my wonders why there needs to be a "first female" on the moon - with all the technological advances, is there an actual need for anyone to physically go there, ever again? Arranging the trip just so they can say they sent a woman to the moon does feel a bit of a Pyrrhic victory, especially considering the environmental costs of people going to space. And speaking of costs, somethingsomething spendingenoughtoendworldhunger somethingsomething...

Anyway, I'll just fold up and put away my soapbox on the way out :joker:

The Launch now on Hold


They do not want it to Blow up.

Hydrogen Leak.


They have two hours
to decide


https://news.sky.com/story/nasas-art...dates-12684428

No Launch
today


NASA just said



Launch maybe Friday.

Interesting to see how long it takes to get there compared to 1969.

[Artemis 1: NASA moon launch postponed after hydrogen leak

Its first mission, a 42-day uncrewed flight around the
moon, will test the huge rocket and the
Orion spacecraft that astronauts will eventually travel in.]

Good job they spotted
that leak
Hell of an Explosion on wasted money
would have happened.

There's already more than enough money in the world to end world hunger and for everyone to live comfortably. It's a problem of will and greed, not resources.

Oh sure. What I meant was, as much as I love space, whenever "we" make vast strides and advances and I see the amazing pictures, I just think of the way the world could be improved with similar expenditure :joker:

the world never improves with random spending and thats what would be required to improve the circumstances of the worlds population. Focused spending on things like space programs could provide immeasurable benefits

What do you mean here, bots? What's random spending?

Of Course,
so long as they do not blow up on take off................

If only the Moon had a blue sky and clouds. Damn! ;)

The Rocket is trying to take off today

But if there is Lightning
it can not take off,


Was just Live
on BBCnewsHD

Now Reported as taking off UK Time 7PM

[NASA calls off launch of Artemis 1
moon rocket for second time after leak

The rocket, which was initially planned
to launch earlier this week on Monday 29,
was scrubbed following a hydrogen leak.]


"Attempts to fix it so far have been unsuccessful."

Nasa: Artemis Moon rocket second launch attempt called off AGAIN

Surely this hopeless attempt to leave Earth and go to the Moon, fuels (no pun intended) the conspiracy theory that we never went to the Moon in the first place.

And 53 years on from the 'first Moon landing', we can't even blast off in 2022.

Also, I don't mean to be mean, but using rockets in 2022? You'd think they'd have invented some other way of leaving the Earth's atmosphere.

On a serious note, I wouldn't like to be those spacemen/women training for missions to the Moon and Mars. Very very dangerous. Proof we're sort of still living in caves.

Yes, they are going to keep going
until it is safe to take off,

It doesn't exactly make me confident.:hehe:

So much money involved
they will not take a chance

Just fire it at Russia and be done with it?

A lot of money. But the wrong propulsion.

:shocked::joker:

They launched it this morning. Middle of the night for a lot of America and it was pitch-black. You'd have thought they would consider giving the public the best chance of watching it, given its importance.

But James
if the weather is best
they will go in the middle of the night.


Safety matters with these expensive rockets.

The Moon will soon have China Digging up their metals and ore

[What does China want to mine on the moon?

A 2020 mission brought back minerals to China,

But China
is soon to start digging up ore
on the Moon.


They want the best supply

This one was 3rd time Lucky,
unmanned.

In around 2 years
It will go with People in it

What a waste of money.

There's nothing or nobody there for us to colonise or steal from.

Yes 6 more rockets


Was on BBC1HD Sunday Laura
with a Happy Nasa Fella Howard Hu
on her screen.


Of course he is happy
but all the money wasted,
is the problem.

'Artemis 1 but free bird lines up exactly with the launch'.

Yes James
