Scarier than imagined

They are currently sealing the door/hatch with screws so the crew will hear them working and know that ‘ it’s really happening !’


I presumed the hatch would have a quick release in case of emergency

They will re - enter the earth’s atmosphere at 20,000 miles per hour ( faster than ever before ) … and the vessel will heat up to 2000 Celsius

Sooo this mission is going AROUND the moon -not landing on the moon


Apparently they haven’t got the technology to manufacture landing gear as yet !!!

How utterly bizarre

they are just taking it a step at a time, keeping the budget down until the prove each step. It will be 2029 before they have a lander

Interesting to note that all the NASA people are calm and confident but Thomas Moore is trying to hype the story up suggesting ‘it’s touch and go’ .. bladdy media !
