46 years ago, the human race stepped onto the moon
On this day in 1969, man first stepped foot upon the moon. Astronauts Neil Armstrong and Edwin “Buzz” Aldrin became two of the most famous pioneers in human history, leaving footprints that may literally last forever. To experience the launch in real time,...Space Talk
@SpaceArchivist_ Yes, the LVSA might be a slight issue, so try it whichever way works best for you!
as for KSP, I appreciate the offer, but i love to show off my own KSP stock stuff so ill probably do that myself, but i do thank you for the offer!
@SpaceArchivist_ could you replace the ICPS with centaur V?
I'm working on a video about SLS centaur V, and one of the points im going to discuss is how massively overkill current SLS is for CV, and that this, much smaller SLS could also do such a thing, and would like to give the audience a
@SpaceArchivist_ and of course, Ill credit you in video!
What a strange configuration
Hey as a completely unrelated fun fact did y'all know that Orion can only be integrated vertically?
We're not rebuilding the same pad for New Glenn. We're moving to a horizontal/vertical hybrid configuration to get us flying again this year at 36A. We were already working on something similar for 9x4 at 36B. Let me explain what that means. We mate the stages horizontally in
@ThePrimalDino @Tygget getting Orion to LLO with CV would definitely require a refill in LEO, and at that point it would make more sense to just use a beefier cislunar transporter
@serendistant @Tygget yup. especially given how tall that rocket would be. it would be very unwieldy
We’re at the Great American State Fair in DC, where we’ve got live feed of NASA astronauts @Astro_Jessica and @Astro_ChrisW replacing a wrist joint on the @Space_Station’s Canadarm2 robotic arm during their spacewalk! Tune in here: http://plus.nasa.gov/scheduled-video/us-spacewalk-95/
