Anonymous Coward User ID: 84043118 Canada 12/15/2022 07:40 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Japanese billionaire unveils the 8 artists he'll fly to the moon on SpaceX's Starship dearMoon flight Quoting: Sundecoder The creator of 'Everyday Astronaut' is among the eight. Yusaku Maezawa, who made his fortune as an online fashion retailer, announced the eight people who would be flying with him on the dearMoon mission, which aims to use a SpaceX Starship to fly around the moon as soon as next year. "I hope each and every one will recognize the responsibility that comes with leaving the Earth, travelling to the moon and back," Maezawa says in the video in Japanese, with a translation provided in-video. The previously-announced 2023 launch date may push back substantially, however, as Starship has not yet been approved for an orbital journey around Earth, let alone a flight to the moon.

Lets see how that wil pan out :))))) moon fakery . |

Delusional shill. . |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 84043118 Canada 12/15/2022 07:48 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | 2023..lol. Maybe 2043, maybe. In clown world though, not anytime before collapse. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 78987013 I know you're being hyperbolic, but SpaceX was founded barely more than 20 years ago and in that time they have gone from nothing to be the dominant commercial launch provider. The Falcon 9 is the most utilized rocket of any kind in the world right now. I just watched one take off, turn around, and come back to land just a few miles from me yesterday. That development took longer than SpaceX thought it would, and Starship/Super Heavy is no different. I don't think it will reach the level of affordability they're aiming for, and it will certainly take longer to get it right than 2023, but I also don't think it will take 20 years. 5 to 10 years is my guess. I think the Dragon program is a good model for it; it was more complex, difficult, and longer than SpaceX anticipated, but they did get there while a traditional provider like Boeing is still floundering. Long term though, I'm still concerned about the lack of an in-flight abort system for Starship. It may not even bite them the first dozen times they fly people, but at some point it will probably bite them. . I looked at your video how can you see through clouds clearly visible during landing? x ray vision? There is shit tons of clouds duringlanding yet you see through them. Plus going 350km up is doable but flying 350.000km 1000 times more is completly different story . . |

The Earth is flat and the moon is a self-luminescent disk of plasma, not a rocky body that can be landed on… Quoting: Anonymous Coward 77742962 It's not a "disk," there's a whole civilization on the other side and within it.

Delusional shill. . Wrong. My calculations assume no such thing, you blatantly lie. My calculations assume that the light goes out in all directions and decreases as the surface area of a sphere with the radius equal to the distance. I've always shown this, for example back when JWST launched: Thread: Come Watch the JWST Head to its orbit around L2! You blatantly lied about my calculations. I'm not the shill, you are. Orion is of course a much smaller vehicle, so here are the numbers as a worst case scenario of what I can track and detect. The service module can be approximated as a cylinder 2.05 meters in radius, 4 meters tall. We'll assume a side-on profile and only count the surface of the side of the cylinder, but only half of it will be lit by the sun, pi*2.05*4 = 25.76 meters squared. Then the Orion capsule can be approximated as a cone. Again, we won't count the surface area of the flat part of the cone (basically the heat shield), only the side of the cone, and only half its area will be sunlit, so (pi*2.515*3.3)/2 = 13.04 meters squared. So the total surface area available to reflect light, not even counting the solar panels, would be 38.80 meters squared. Let's use the distance I measured by parallax near the point it was farthest from earth, 425,602 km. Figuring the reflectivity of the shiny Orion capsule and white service module is conservatively about 50%, this gives us an expected apparent magnitude of 16, well within the capabilities of the telescopes I used to detect it.

Believing we went to the moon with 60’s tech but somehow we can’t do it now. Ahem... And that proves what exactly? . it prooves astromut is ghay pedofile, no girl wanted him so he stared to go out at night and look for other ghay through his telescope, occasionally he looks at kids as well, as every pedo. Entire scientific community saw through his pedo soul and banned him from every legit astro forum so he comes here and tells his lies becasue u all dumb asses can't question his fake app. . Ok, you're done. Way over the line. You don't get to run around falsely accusing mods of being pedos. |
