My opinion (I am not an aerospace engineer) has always been that the shuttle was a step in the right direction (reusable spacecraft), but its design was insufficiently updated during its lifetime. And fatal problems like bad O-rings and heat-shield tiles that flake off and let the ship burn up hint strongly to me of poor quality control originating in insufficient funding.
There is something else that does need to be said: If they just lowered the amount of cargo and expanded on the fuel tank(and external tanks) we could have been building an ever increasing space station instead of the space outpost that is there now.
Don't get me wrong the ISS was a good step, but the people in charge, and those that keep trying to limit us to a single planet, have seriously stalled space expansion and colonization. We are just now getting back on track, and if these people ever get in charge again they will do EVERYTHING possible to wreck it and destroy any further chances in the future.
I actually really like ULA; Tory is extremely smart and awesome- but they're more defense related while spaceX is more commercial. But boeing and Lockheed in general need to screw off.
I know exactly what ULA is and who they're a combination of--- BUT they're still their own independent company too even though lockheed and boeing are their parent companies.
I love SpaceX just as much as the others, but I also like/enjoy watching Delta IV Heavy set itself on fire :D
Not able to secure an election is because nearly half of the country is complicit or complacent.
No inspiring feats of engineering and entrepreneurship matter if we cannot secure an election. Even the soviets had a space program. The cheaters want to install a system where the government commandeers the horizon of human vision, that would be an atrocity to all future generations. One more reason we cannot let them win.
The gutting and neglect of NASA was one of the great failures of the Obama Administration. The restoration of NASA and creation of the Space Force is one of the greatest victories of Trumps, and will be remembered by history as one of his greatest achievements.
My sons and me all sat down to watch the outside walk/repair. The image is super crisp and looks amazing. We all agreed on how brave these Americans are. What a great example that is set. Just like our President Donald Trump. Nothing beats the Americans spirit thru the hand of God.
True Story. Trump resurrected our Space programs and got us back in the game. Space is the final frontier no doubt! China sure and the hell is not sitting around anymore when it comes to space.
We've mastered getting humans into orbit. Good job.
Now, NASA, get the fuck to work on getting humans living on outposts on the moon and bases on Mars already.
Or do we have to pay Elon to get this done too?
Old friend of mine worked as a lawyer for NASA. After Obama gutted NASA you would think he would be ecstatic for NASA's rebirth and be a huge Trump supporter. Nope. Has full blown TDS and won't even acknowledge what he has done for his industry. Fucking boggles my mind. I used to laugh at the "If Trump cured cancer" joke. Now it's not a joke but a certainty.
It's the ISS, it moves at about 17,500mph to stay in orbit. Also, at that speed you are weightless so it wouldn't be hard to hold onto, hardest part is the cumbersome suit restricting movement and strength of grasp.
There is still gravity. That is what is keeping the space station in orbit around the earth. You are correct that there is no force working against you, though. Gravity is the bending of space and time. The space station is effectively moving in a straight line through curved space. If you are near it and moving the same speed, then you move along the same straight but curved path, and the relative speed between you and the station remains low. The farther away you are, the more your straight path will diverge from the station's straight path due to space curving slightly differently for you.
On the ground, your body naturally wants to keep moving in a straight line, which due to gravity happens to be falling downward toward the center of the earth. The ground is in the way though, and so it's constantly pushing up against you. So when you aren't moving, you're actually accelerating upward all the time. That is what weight is.
I wonder if we'll ever be disclosed of the great space hoax at some point in our lives. MAGA, and Trump is the greatest person to ever lead the US, and the world, but this has been one of the longest running frauds of all time. Primarily because many people, even some in high elite positions, believe in it since space agencies around the world have never had to give any real evidence or proof (e.g. a go-pro style, straight video from taking off, then making it into space with the whole earth in view).
I would not go camping in the garbage thing NASA claims we landed on the moon. This is one thing I question POTUS on because I do not believe anything NASA claims. I love our POTUS but need questions answered on this topic.
Seconded. Moon landings were clearly fake, if it wasn't such an important lie I'd laugh about it. Here's hoping Trump is using space force to uncover even bigger lies.
I don't think the moon landings were fake. I will explain why. There are lots of things we've been told about that are fake. JFK was not shot by Oswald, because all theories agree he was in the Book Depository when JFK was shot (although they disagree about precisely where in the building) and this was behind JFK, and JFK's wounds and the Zupruder film show he was shot from the front. Epstein was clearly murdered because there were too many things that happened right at the time when he died to be explained by coincidence, and there was a huge motive to do so. The high-level Dems are involved in a secret pedophile cult, because of the large amount of small pieces of evidence that all point in that direction, and the larger pieces that are the leaked emails, the pedophile cult in the UK that was briefly in the news and then disappeared, and that that theory so perfectly explains the behavior of almost everyone who's been in power. They are controlled because of dirt on them, and it's a society of people who have dirt on each other.
All of these things I believe because of large amounts of evidence that point to their truth. But I have never seen any evidence that points to the moon landing being faked. And I have seen evidence that points to it being real. And I also know that there is a large amount of deliberate disinformation put into conspiracy theory circles just so that they wind up believing nonsense as well as the truth, so that no one will listen to them. I believe that the moon landing being faked is one of those things.
Now there's a free thinking individual, good on you 👍
One word of advice, keep researching when you have spare time. It takes a while to reconcile within yourself that you've been lied to. Wasn't easy for me at first either.
It's not like they have Comcast up there! 480p continuous is pretty good for something orbiting the Earth every 90 minutes.
Every few hours, they fly through the "South Atlantic Anomoly" where the Earth's magnetic field is notably weaker. You can usually see sparkles on the camera feeds as exotic energized particles hit the camera's sensor.
The satellites you speak of are typically in geostationary orbit, such that their relative position in the sky does not change much. You can therefore point a high gain antenna at it and maintain an arbitrarily fast data link. The more directional the antenna, the better the signal, and so the faster you can communicate. Geostationary orbit is a very special place, that makes Earth based communication relatively easy. It's also very high up though, well on your way to the Moon. It takes almost half a second for radio waves, moving at the speed of light, to travel there and then back.
The space station is in low earth orbit, and so its position in the sky changes very fast. It goes around the earth every 90 minutes. It's only within line of sight of any one spot on Earth for maybe 5-10 minutes. Without using relay satellites, you therefore need to have at least 45 antennas equally spaced around the Earth. Those antennas need to either be omnidirectional, or precisely aimed by motor or "phased array" magic. Omnidirectional antennas pick up significantly lower signal, which limits the data rate. Most of the Earth is covered in water, and so you would need to have antennas in the middle of the ocean, themselves with high speed network links.
Having antenna ground stations evenly spaced out on the ground just doesn't work very well for practical reasons, so instead the space station has to bounce its data through other satellites when it isn't directly overhead of a ground station. Those satellites are themselves in constant motion relative to the space station, and so once again depend on either omnidirectional antennas, or directional antennas with motors or phased arrays. The space station and satellites have both. The directional antennas can't always be pointed where everyone wants them, though, because the satellites are used for lots of different purposes. With the hardware that's currently in orbit, you're looking at slower than 1990 dialup speeds with omnidirectional, and Y2K DSL speeds with directional. When over a ground station, the station might get "broadband" speeds for 5-10 minutes.
So, I think it's pretty impressive for NASA to be able to maintain a continuous 480p stream!
That's whats so cool about SpaceX's starlink project. They are launching tens of thousands of modern satellites that will ultimately be able to relay broadband speed data between them.
task force elect.
Big Mike Has Entered The Chat.
thats the one i wanted.
Barrack Obama bout to comment here
Stop, I can only get so elect.
Flatten the curve.
Wouldn't it be amazing if the entire house of cards fell because of this election?
Florida really is way too big for that curve...
It is not the world that is bent, it is only yourself.
someone post a pic of the buran shuttle its so evil and heavy looking
My opinion (I am not an aerospace engineer) has always been that the shuttle was a step in the right direction (reusable spacecraft), but its design was insufficiently updated during its lifetime. And fatal problems like bad O-rings and heat-shield tiles that flake off and let the ship burn up hint strongly to me of poor quality control originating in insufficient funding.

The Buran was superior to the shuttle, you know-nothing know-it-all.
Да.
Wait......the earth is not flat?
Well, Bidden is telling the truth, I know his crap launched me into orbit.
And thank Elon Musk for saving NASA's ass from shithole defense contractors like Boeing and Lockheed.
I am going to get Starlink even I don't need it. I just want to support him and his missions.
So what you're saying is we need to launch and operate more space telescopes.
And for spreading red pills about how the PCR tests used to test for the China Flu can be easily abused to created a false positive.
I actually really like ULA; Tory is extremely smart and awesome- but they're more defense related while spaceX is more commercial. But boeing and Lockheed in general need to screw off.

and there it is.
Ok- we're launching astronauts to space.
But can't secure our elections- like really?
Maybe they’re up there to prep the rods from God for Biden’s bunker
are you single

"If they can put a man on the moon, why can't they...?" - Been asked for 51 years and still a great question.
Or put fires out!
Amen.
I went outside and waved, did you guys see me?
Username Waving = twerking like a loosely fitted bed sheet?
Outer space belongs to AMERICA.
Space 'Merica.
The gutting and neglect of NASA was one of the great failures of the Obama Administration. The restoration of NASA and creation of the Space Force is one of the greatest victories of Trumps, and will be remembered by history as one of his greatest achievements.
Make Space Great Again!
Badass
My sons and me all sat down to watch the outside walk/repair. The image is super crisp and looks amazing. We all agreed on how brave these Americans are. What a great example that is set. Just like our President Donald Trump. Nothing beats the Americans spirit thru the hand of God.
THE RIPOFF OF THIS ELECTION MUST BE STOPPED OR IT WILL BE THE LAST ELECTION IN USA! Also, this live shot is very serene.. Thanks for posting it!
Awesome, I caught the ISS going over my house tonight!
True Story. Trump resurrected our Space programs and got us back in the game. Space is the final frontier no doubt! China sure and the hell is not sitting around anymore when it comes to space.
Great source of American pride restored! Thank you POTUS!
THANK YOU MR PRESIDENT
We've mastered getting humans into orbit. Good job.

Or do we have to pay Elon to get this done too?
Some libcucks are saying Biden is responsible for SpaceX success
He just IS, OK???
Weird how the clouds never move.
Earth so round it's even bending those solar panels! Wait a minute...

let us hope there are no random boxes of votes floating around up there

Just watched the space station flying over Tucson! Very cool with the quarter moon, Venus and Saturn for the backdrop!
So no more muslim pandering by NASA?
Earth is flat and nasa is one huge lie folks.
I love this place.

I love his music.
Prepare to have this song stuck in your head for the next week lmao
Big Tech gonna ban NASA’s social media tomorrow.
Foot massage... with goats.
I wish it was over America right now, so I can see the freedom
Some parts of the country may be a bit cloudy right now.

Second one is long but worth it, I highly recommend checking out his other videos too.
The more you dig the more you will realize, they have lied about everything.
I tell you what. I'll give it a watch and see what I think. Might even get back to you on it, although I am busy.
Now there's a free thinking individual, good on you 👍
One word of advice, keep researching when you have spare time. It takes a while to reconcile within yourself that you've been lied to. Wasn't easy for me at first either.
Well, it's easier when you know you've been lied to before, about all the other things I mentioned. That's the big step.
Glad I'm not the only one that feels this way.
What are those flashes at about the -10:32 mark, when it appears to be over the border between China and India?
microwave weapons
so ambient music from 93' and it's real? FUCK YEAH
Proud of our astronauts!
While we're at it, can we get an HD camera or two on the live space station feed? Curious how it's still 480p, isn't it?
It's not like they have Comcast up there! 480p continuous is pretty good for something orbiting the Earth every 90 minutes.
Every few hours, they fly through the "South Atlantic Anomoly" where the Earth's magnetic field is notably weaker. You can usually see sparkles on the camera feeds as exotic energized particles hit the camera's sensor.
We bounce HD signals off orbiting satellites all day long, every day. To insinuate it's not feasible makes no sense to me.
The satellites you speak of are typically in geostationary orbit, such that their relative position in the sky does not change much. You can therefore point a high gain antenna at it and maintain an arbitrarily fast data link. The more directional the antenna, the better the signal, and so the faster you can communicate.

There are so many Biden ballots you can see them from space!!
you might want to give a little love to Mr. Musk too.....
Soon it will almost entirely by the American private sector, even better.
looks like that planet is full of Covid... skip to next galaxy
someone please tell me what the music is please
Joe Biden: "Trump didn't build THAT"
Nice fisheye to give a nice appearance of curvature!
any UFOS yet?
they're out there floating around doing science.
