It sure would be cool that when this over budget errand finally does land their diversity project on the surface of the moon, Elon and a couple dozen passengers were there to watch it land.

FAKE. many in the twitterverse and Reddit trolls are crying fake, it’s amusing and a little annoying that there are so many child brained people in this world trying to confuse and influence thoughts and ideas.

“The World’s Most Powerful Rocket” ... until SpaceX’s StarShip flies ...

[GOP_Party_Animal]

...before the next flight of Space Launch System for the Artemis II mission, currently scheduled for 2024.

This is why SpaceX was such a shock to me. They'd never say "yeah, then we're going to do the next thing in about two years". Once a task was completed by SpaceX, it's like they already had the next rocket on the pad. Amazing how quickly Musk's team got things done.

What can we mine on the Moon? Is Helium 3 a practical opportunity? I think we should start a FR VC fund to mine the Moon!

So I recall watching this movie in 1969.

Maybe NASA could update the script.

[montag813]

Apparently it is indeed fake. Sad!

>silicon material called RTV

That would be silicone, not silicon. You know, that stuff fake things are made from.

[NorthMountain]

1) Both Saturn-V and STS beat up the launcher, so it's hardly surprising that SLS did as well.

2) piece of silicon material called RTV NO. That's silicone (with an "e"), not silicon. Learning the difference is left as an exercise to the reader.

I did a lunar flyby last week.

Copernicus crater near center is about 58 miles in diameter. The crater floor is about 2.4 miles below the crater rim crest. Mountains rise from the center of the crater to a height of about 3000 feet. Note the line or trail of smaller craters to the right. This was a big impact.

I’ve seen some young ignoramus spout how this is the first mission into deep space since the end of the Apollo program. Guess those self-esteem, deviant sex, and basketweaving classes didn’t cover it.

Where’s the earth shattering kaboom
?
There should have been an earth shattering kaboom.🤪

[minnesota_bound]

All fake. This is done in a computer.

[George from New England]

Can’t explain it ..

Why isn’t the MSM showing photos are ANYTHING on this mission.

MSM loved the launch and now crickets.
