Let Elon Musk do it!

NASA, like every other agency has undoubtedly become a DIE cess pool. Let it die.

Artemis 3, in which the first woman and first person of color are to set foot on lunar soil at the Moon's south pole, should now take place in September 2026.

I think I see what the problem is here...

Ah, the irony. Elon Musk is charged with building the Human Landing System (HLS) for Artemis III! It will use the "HLS" variant of the Starship.

One of the biggest causes for the delay is that Starship HLS is way behind schedule, and certain critical items - like showing fueling of the vehicle in orbit - haven't even been attempted yet.

NASA needs to do a back-to-the-future type of thing.

IOW, they should just copy the technology from 1969-1972 they used to take men to the moon and land them and bring them back. Modern tech just makes things a lot more difficult, unnecessarily.

They should be ready right about the time nuclear fusion power is available.

I read a long time ago that we cannot remake a Saturn V rocket, as all the drawings were on paper vellum and were discarded......................

NASA’s priorities are making sure the woke sexual bits and wrapping paper are politically correct.

Its sad when you can’t root for your own country anymore. I don’t want anyone to get hurt, I just now am rooting for the mission to not be successful.

And before anyone says crap like I left my country, they left me first. My country would prefer me dead. I don’t appreciate that.

We wouldn’t want to make another Saturn V anyway. Most of the parts were hand made and included far more of them than modern rocket engines use.

Too many incompetent DEI clowns “working” at NASA? My bet this is a big factor.

Aha. The DEMOGRAPHICS are much more important now than the science achievements. The new astronauts must be female, black, gay, and able to twirl a baton. Competence or experience? Meh!

So long as this libtard crap is ruling NASA, other countries will leave the U.S. in the dust as concerns space exploration. Libtards ruin EVERYTHING they touch.

You sound Demoralized.

Where do you get your information on NASA and America from?

Have you ever considered that the sources of your information are what offend you rather than the objects of your information?

We’re most likely entering a multi-decade recession (Japan 1980s - 2020s). That’ll clean some stuff up -but the economy will be an Obamanation with possibly hyperinflation.

They need more time to work on all the things the woman will complain about.

It’s cramped.
Mirror is too small.
It smells.
No lip balm?
I don’t feel safe.
I don’t feel cherrished.

Then there is how to prevent the black guy from jumping up and down on the lunar module and setting it on fire, yelling “F NASA”.
