People really be out here not knowing what an anomaly is

I post stuff that I find cool when I want to post it. Seems simple enough.

19.06.2025 20:54 β π 9 π 1 π¬ 1 π 0Well damn, this was literally the one thing I was actually excited for Trump to do.

It's impossible for that to happen. The only debris zones are in the Gulf, the Caribbean, and the Indian Ocean.
27.05.2025 23:10 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0He's still not the director; none of that is on him. Also, the budget cuts haven't gone into effect and remain just proposals. Jared Isaacman is more than qualified for the position and the only judgement of his performance can occur after he enters it.
17.05.2025 21:29 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0Nah, this guy's actually really qualified. Very few people run their own personal space programs. I mean, he led the first-ever entirely private orbital mission and was the first man to ever spacewalk on a privately operated mission. Plus, his plans to keep Hubble operating are very encouraging.
02.05.2025 08:27 β π 1 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0The parachutes are still attached to the capsule, which is designed to float.
10.04.2025 06:46 β π 1 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0No, they are collected alongside the capsule but disposed of later due to their not being designed for reuse.
19.03.2025 19:48 β π 1 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0It will work. Only two Falcon 9 launches have ever failed.
13.03.2025 00:18 β π 1 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0No, it will not.
12.03.2025 22:28 β π 4 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0No, they're flying on the single most reliable rocket ever built with a success rate well in excess of 99%. And, even if something does go wrong, they can activate the launch escape system and still be perfectly safe.
12.03.2025 22:28 β π 1 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0It's literally the most reliable rocket ever created and far exceeds NASA's safety standards. Nothing will happen and these astronauts will be able to complete their mission uninterrupted. Also, even if something goes wrong, they, unlike the shuttle, can use the launch escape system.
12.03.2025 22:26 β π 2 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0The Falcon 9 is the most reliable rocket ever created and far surpasses NASA's required minimum safety standard of a 1/270 chance of failure. These astronauts will be perfectly fine.
12.03.2025 22:24 β π 1 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0Damn, forgot about him. How could I?
24.12.2024 23:27 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0So... Just a quick PSA. DKiS Aerospace (Kevin Kennedy) has been writing an exceedingly obvious self-insert character into a sexual relationships with minors in his books. Pedophilia should never be accepted, so I'd advise that everyone just stop watching his videos on YouTube and not give him money.
24.12.2024 21:22 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0What celebrity would you elect?
24.12.2024 21:18 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0Yeah, between him and Reagan, we keep electing our favorite actors as governor. Honestly, Dwayne Johnson might be next. Oh, we also made Clint Eastwood a mayor.
24.12.2024 21:18 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0He's not the administrator until after Trump gets inaugurated. All he can do for now is ask nicely for things.
06.12.2024 17:31 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0Sketchy reporting on some of them. Doug Burgum sold a company for $1.1 billion; he isn't personally worth that much due to his not owning the company in its entirety. His net worth could be higher or lower.
06.12.2024 17:30 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0He literally runs his own nonprofit space program.
05.12.2024 17:42 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0To be fair, Isaacman runs his own nonprofit scientifically focused private space program.
05.12.2024 17:42 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0I'm a bit of a space nerd so this is one of the things I know about. I too hope that it all turns out all right and that my statements can be proven correct.
05.12.2024 03:18 β π 1 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0It should be, I think. His program just pays SpaceX to support their scientific missions, so think his scientific focus will carry on. Then again, only time will tell.
04.12.2024 20:09 β π 1 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0His program doesn't run on federal money; it is a nonprofit that uses its own money to send its own astronauts to space for scientific missions. He never gets money from the government for that. It's entirely independent of NASA.
04.12.2024 20:08 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0He's not profiting from NASA. His company sends people to space using SpaceX as a launch provider. Since that's the case and he has extensive experience, I believe him to be in a pretty good place with this. The only think is that he might have to distance himself a little from Draken International.
04.12.2024 20:06 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0Interstate-15 (California to Utah Stretch)
04.12.2024 18:07 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0I honestly doubt it since he's already contractually bound to use SpaceX for the next few missions but also that NASA and SpaceX aren't really competitors and the only real competitor to SpaceX in terms of launch services is ULA, and they're jut not doing well right now. (Run by Boeing & Lockheed.)
04.12.2024 18:04 β π 1 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0How though? Almost everyone involved in the aerospace industry has used or been involved with SpaceX at one point. So, since he's the guy who also runs a program similar in its goals to NASA and has coordinated crew launches and scientific missions before, he seems like a great pick.
04.12.2024 17:55 β π 1 π 0 π¬ 3 π 0It's actually a pretty good pick since Isaacman isn't actually a SpaceX astronaut; that's a lie or a misunderstanding. He runs a private company that uses SpaceX for their missions because they're the cheapest and, frankly, only option to get to space with a crew these days unless you're Russian.
04.12.2024 17:43 β π 2 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0Jared Isaacman isn't a SpaceX astronaut though; he runs a private contractor that simply used SpaceX to get to orbit because they're the cheapest option. Jared Isaacman is actually one of the best people for the job and the poor qualifications of many other nominees do not mean he is unqualified.
