Wonder why it's so often rather priviledged media people who deny how serious and frightening the current situation ist (same here in Germany)?🤔

Der Weihnachtsplätzchen- und Teigkrümel-Vergleich hat was😂!

I know - but they probably don't have a clue about the technical facts and that their idea would destroy a lot of what Discovery was so carefully preserved for. And about Bridenstine - even if he sometimes seems to understand things, he also talks a lot of political BS if it fits his agenda.

Probably a mixture of crazy and absolutely clueless of what they are talking about...

Da zeigt sich mal wieder, dass der werte Herr Professor von der Lebensrealität armer und chronisch kranker Menschen keine Ahnung hat - oder dass sie ihm vollkommen egal ist. Danke für Ihr Eintreten für die Schwachen, das ja nebenbei mittel- und langfristig auch ökonomisch sinnvoller ist.

A must read for everyone in the space bubble - and maybe outside as well:

Condolences, take all the time you need!

It was the crew who named it and if you had ever listened to them, including how Reid Wiseman explained the name-finding today, you probably would have come to the conclusion that they are anything but Trump supporters.

What do you know - but as I don't need any conversation on this level, bye bye!

again as has been done so many times before can't be the solution either and won't lead to anything at all.

While it's for sure not perfect it's the only thing we have at the moment, so I support all efforts to get it somehow working and especially the people working extremely hard on it under difficult circumstances. Of course this will include further delays, as I said. But starting everything all over

Then I don't get his remark that seemed to doubt the facts given in the press conference today. If you want to be cynical, fine, but leave the facts untwisted. And by the way I work in high-tech journalism, including spaceflight, for ages, so you can be sure I have my network and information.

What does this have to do with Artemis II being on track for the dates given in the press conference today? And this is what your remark seemed to doubt...

Artemis II is actually quite well on track, early 2026 is realistic as people working directly on it in different functions at different NASA centers confirm. The big delays will come after that when a lander and EVA suits are required...

Die Arroganz von Leuten, die offenbar weder je selbst in der Situation waren noch wirklich Kontakt zu Betroffenen haben, ist unerträglich.

Ja, wobei da mal leider wieder einmal die Überschrift etwas irreführend formuliert ist...

I wonder if anybody even only slightly in the know is surprised...

I agree he is a great personally, but let's keep the historical facts straight: He never did astronaut training, didn't even make it to the final round of those being intervied in Houston for the selection of Group 3 in 1963. Not clear if for racism or for too many other candidates better qualified.

But the main problem is that it will only escalate the whole situation, giving them a reason to answer with even more repression. Violence can't be the solution.

Great piece, agree 100 percent, absolutely the same feelings. And the way some NASA top management acted over the last months did not help much either...

Great statement, thanks to Emily, completely concur!

Remember they did nearly the same thing in Hungary last year... It was not invented for Monza, from their point of view they had to act in the same way to stay within their philosophy of equal treatment. But let's see where it will lead to in the end - likely in some kind of mess.

Considering the McLaren history I understand that Brown and Stella tried to prevent certain developments from the very beginning. Simply "let them race" with no limits at all is not always the ideal solution either at least from a team's point of view.

equal, but it's one of those things where there is a big difference between the theory and the feasability in the real world.

Not sure I will trust a driver to interpret the rules or what was agreed before in the heat of the moment correctly - he spoke differently in the press conference later. But I agree that they might run into difficult situations now. O still appreciate the idea of treating both drivers absolutely

Well, it's probably difficult for Max to even imagine a situation where he might be asked to do so - the way he always was dominating his teammates. I understand the McLaren approach in general, especially with the team history, but I admit that too much micro management might create more trouble.

Good luck!

War immerhin die Financial Times, wo das ursprünglich herkam. Und dann hat es jeder übernommen.

Die kolportierte eine Stunde längere Flugzeit scheint ja nach den Flightradar-Daten auch nicht zu stimmen...

Das die Kürzungen insgesamt Mist sind, steht ja außer Frage. Dass der zeitnahe Ausbau von Oberpfaffenhofen extrem wichtig ist, aber auch. Deswegen kann man da Söder ausnahmsweise mal keinen Vorwurf machen.
