Explanation: You might not think a close up view of rocket engines producing 8.8 million pounds of thrust would be relaxing, but here it can be. In fact, you can get a warm and cozy feeling just spending a few moments watching NASA's holiday rocket engine fireplace. The video features a loop of the Space Launch System rocket's RS-25 main engines throttled up and running flanked by solid rocket boosters and framed by a stone fireplace. The accompanying audio track mixes the drastically muted sounds of the rocket engines firing with the more familiar sounds of a burning, crackling wood fire. AI elements are included in the composed video along with an image and logo from the Artemis I mission. The Artemis I uncrewed mission to the Moon and back again launched in November 2022 on a Space Launch System rocket.

Would not want that in my living room!!
This is NOT the creativity which will save nasa from DOGE.
Agree. I think it just plain stupid. Once I clicked on the link, I was expecting more. I am insulted.
I agree. I cringed to post this. They seem blind to the scientific obligations that taxpayers expect of them.
really? dude you post everything from them, no matter how fake some of the pictures are. (not lately though...)
Dont get me wrong, I truly appreciate your contribution. I lurk all of your postings... but wished we all as sheep, start rejecting absolute BS and fake things from institutions are children and their children are looking to for education.
I post almost every day what NASA puts up. I complain often about the muslim outreach that Zer0 started and the ChiCom outreach that Xao-Bidung started. When I complain I usually get requests to be taken off the ping list. So now I post and wait for others to smash the wokeists at NASA.
Btt!!
No appeal to me.
At least someone in the Agency has some creativity. I hope he or she didn’t spend much time on this. Some of our Freepers could do this easily and better, but still, I sorta like it.
“Jingle Bells” became the first song played in space when, on 16 December 1965, it was broadcast during NASA’s Gemini 6A space flight.
So have they run out of actual astronomy photos, and have to resort to Photoshop?
Lame.
I was visiting (a dying, 80 year old) friend when his wife over fed the fireplace. The chimney fire sounded like a freight train but I got it out. Can’t imagine the roar of the fireplace shown!
Pinging the APOD list

You don’t need to defend yourself. It’s obvious we have a Scrooge among us.
Well hhhmm?...that says a lot about those asking to be removed for those reasons...interesting
Appreciate your pings
Natures’ canvas is very much awesome
