Space stuff
-
@WhiskeySandwich I clicked on this thread expecting it to be "WTS to make space"... of course the IH forum has a space thread
Yeah it's a little crazy it's on April fools, I love a good ol' conspiracy theory and I'm sure this "return to the moon" will have people saying they didn't actually go back (or go to begin with)
Pretty cool though.

If I was the guy scheduling this stuff, and it made the most sense from a successful mission POV, the very last thing that I would be bothered about would be whether it was 1st April or any of the other 364/5 days of the year......

Hard to believe that I was only a few months old when the last man walked on the moon. Grew up thinking and reading that we would all have that chance. Probably won’t happen in my lifetime, but today gives me a little hope that younger generations could.
The possibility of the unknown is a great opportunity for all of us.

@Giles oh I agree
my previous post was a product of my childish mind and what I find to be hilarious irony -
I am on call until midnight so letting my daughter stay up to watch the launch with me. As long as it doesn’t get pushed back late into the launch window.

Good start

space may be the final frontier but it's made in a Hollywood basement

Space X would call their explosion a Rapid Unplanned Disassembly…I wonder what Blue Origin calls their explosion (Rocket Go Boom?)

@sophisto000 wow

Isar Aerospace achieves first launch to orbit from continental Europe (not far from where @neph93 lives).
What's your view on this @pechelman ?
-
Reaching orbit on flight two is a massive achievement; hats off to Isar, because orbital mechanics don't care about PR. The "first from Western Europe" label feels like a sliced-and-diced marketing statistic, but having more active spaceports to inspire local engineers and lower launch friction is a great win for the industry overall.
