Now THAT'S cool!

Do you think North Korea is going to launch a rocket to the moon on Sunday?

8/27/2022 9:07:18 AM

Go for countdown

8/27/2022 11:18:11 PM

No, YOU go for countdown!

8/28/2022 10:09:41 AM

I hope it works!

8/28/2022 5:23:30 PM

8/28/2022 6:07:23 PM

So likely scrub for today?

8/29/2022 8:37:18 AM

And officially called off

8/29/2022 8:41:50 AM

Ed Baldwin is disappoint!

8/29/2022 8:55:43 AM

Looks like a repeat of the Apollo 10 situation after all.

8/29/2022 9:23:51 AM

Ed can't win. He wants to be the first elderly man on the moon!

8/29/2022 9:31:42 AM

You know, I called NASA up and was like "Hey, you gotta strap a pregnant lady on top of the rocket" and they just laughed at me.

WHO IS LAUGHING NOW, NASA?

8/29/2022 9:32:50 AM

Those scientific elitist pricks!

8/29/2022 10:21:18 AM

Molly would never.

Margo on the other hand...

8/29/2022 10:28:09 AM

Core Stage Engine #3 be like

8/29/2022 4:13:20 PM

Hey Wraith, are worried about Starship HLS at all? The timeline for Artemis 3 seems very aggressive and HLS is dependent on multiple launches and in-orbit refueling of a vessel that hasn't launched yet.

8/30/2022 11:53:26 AM

At work right now and have some thoughts that should probably not be shared while using a NASA computer, lol. Will comment on that when I get back home.

8/30/2022 1:49:32 PM

Glad you are using government resources to post on TWW!

8/30/2022 2:02:42 PM

^Lunchtime for me (I'm in Central Time Zone)


(Yes I'm that much of a loser that I peruse TWW while eating my lunch)

8/30/2022 2:09:33 PM

Hey, so do I, so don't try to claim you are a bigger loser than me!

8/30/2022 4:05:26 PM

They gon' try again for this Saturday.

8/30/2022 6:50:41 PM

they're just going to yolo it up and not replace the sensor.

8/30/2022 8:01:57 PM

They're bringing out the big guns this time -- the ghost of Gordo Stevens!

8/30/2022 8:54:59 PM

The ghost of gordo's first task better be to strangle the shit of his sons.

Okay so the whole 2025 date for Artemis 3 is never gonna happen. That was a ridiculous goal set in the Trump administration without any real input from NASA in the first place. We don't have the funding to make that happen. That is regardless of what is going on with Starship HLS.

The other thing going on there is just generally SpaceX's overall culture. They work very well when it is just them. If we are saying "Hey deliver our astronauts to the ISS on your own vehicles", they get that done. HLS requires a lot of interfaces though. A lot of complexities requiring multiple organizations to work together for a successful integrated product. That is the part that worries me with them. They have very lofty and ambitious schedules. And I've reviewed some of their technical documents before for their NASA support stuff -- they are written like they were authored by a freshman year student writing his first lab report for Physics I. Kind of weird that they would deliver technical details to their customer in that state.

8/30/2022 10:11:35 PM

Starship in general just seems like Musk's ego without check. I obviously want it to succeed, but man, getting falcon heavy human-rated seems like it would have been better

I'm not really sure why this is surprising to anyone

EXCLUSIVE advance footage of tomorrow's launch:



So proud to be an American!

9/2/2022 9:15:30 PM

Not looking good

9/3/2022 10:00:59 AM

Probably going to scrub again. Hydrogen leak.

9/3/2022 10:27:14 AM

Pfft that's not even an actual problem

9/3/2022 10:28:28 AM

Did you see the Hindenburg whining about a little hydrogen issue? No way! They delivered those passengers to New Jersey on schedule.

9/3/2022 11:43:40 AM

Now they sayin' Artemis I may not launch until considerably later this year.

Come on, NASA! North Korea's got a man living on Mars, FFS!

9/3/2022 6:34:24 PM

Yeah, they're going to roll it back to the VAB for sure.

9/3/2022 7:03:31 PM

9/4/2022 10:52:22 AM

His backup was the robotic dog, but. . .

9/4/2022 11:00:03 AM

Looking good so far for Sep 27 launch date!

^maybe not

9/26/2022 2:06:08 PM

There's no hurricanes on the moon

9/26/2022 5:56:12 PM

They got solar storms that will make you go blind, though.

9/26/2022 7:05:09 PM

https://twitter.com/NASA/status/1574539270987173903 Pretty awesome.

9/26/2022 7:38:56 PM

bttt

Artemis I scheduled for launch tonight shortly after 1am eastern time.

11/15/2022 4:35:52 PM

That's too late for me, can you reschedule please

11/15/2022 8:04:40 PM

Let's go! How can I watch dis?

11/15/2022 8:36:56 PM

^ regular YouTube. Just search for NASA live.

11/16/2022 12:37:16 AM

Thanks!

11/16/2022 1:53:34 AM

Peace! We out this bitch (Earf)!

11/16/2022 3:07:58 AM

So far, all the telemetry that we have received and processed has indicated a completely nominal launch. Which is actually very rare. Normally there is SOMETHING that goes wrong, it is just usually something minor or the fault management systems on the flight computer are able to fix it in microseconds before it actually has any impacts. Orion is currently on its way to the moon.

11/17/2022 1:03:25 PM

It is carrying plutonium for Jamestown Base?
