Are you a female-type-girl?
>>Are you a female-type-girl?<<
No, but I identify as a lesbian with male parts.
I see.
Then I rest my case on the fascination of Keanu ;-)
Hahahahahahahahaha...your post made me snort aloud!!!!
It's only used on the ride up and back down to Earth. The expedition spacecraft and Mars lander are different.
"Oh, give me land, lots of land under starry skies above, Don't fence me in. Let me ride through the wide open country that I love, Don't . . . don't . . . DON'T!"
The capsule is supposed to ferry crews to and from whatever larger spacecraft that they will build for the mission. It will be like the Apollo capsule used in the Skylab missions.
Yes. It was supposed to be cheap and quick to turn one around for another launch.
A likely story.
In a college town, I used to have this bumper sticker:
EPA 14
NASA 0
If I understand NASA’s plans there is a larger lab type vehicle Orion would dock with for the voyage to Mars giving the astronauts more room for the long voyage. To go with this technology they are going to have to launch several vehicles separately and dock in LEO and then go for a TMI.
You need a lab, a command module, essentially an updated S4B to leave Earth and then Mars orbit and of course a lander for Mars, unless you send it in advance and dock in orbit, but if that is a dude better to find out about it in LEO than when you get to Mars I would think.
I guess I didn’t. #;^)
Gort was John Wick.
Nah...wrong movie.
With the original idea it supposed to take off and return like an Airplane.
They couldn’t afford to design and build it that way, thus the Solid Rocket Boosters.
How do we know it’s not a trick by Putin and the Russians, we don’t - we must IMPEACH. I expect this will lead the news tonight, Adam Schiff will be the first interview.

OK — here is the inside joke:
Keanue Reeves is such a wooden actor you could not tell Gort from Klaatu in not only that movie but every movie Reeves ever made.
*sigh*
Now wait one darn minute. He was great in Bill and Ted’s Excellent Adventure.
I have John Wick 2 on my DVR. I keep waiting for the appropriate time to punish myself by watching it.
Thanks for the info. I always thought Gort, the original one, had plenty of personality. Not as much as Robby and The Robot on Lost in Space though. #;^)
Best lawn ornament ever.
Has Barron Trump been inside it yet?
I was 9 or 10 when John Glenn lifted me up and sat me in the Mercury Capsule. I can still hear him saying, “Don’t touch any switches or knobs.” One of the best moments of my childhood.
