By the way in the Chinese stream during the landing they said that the damage was minor so the capsule in case of an emergency could have been used for a a return (like with Starliner), otherwise they could and would have sent up the replacement that was on stand-by even earlier.

What a ton of BS! Really disappointing a journalist spreading this kind of nonsense without understanding anything about the completely different situation, about mission planning in human spaceflight, etc.

In the Chinese stream during the landing it was emphazised that the damage was small enough to use it in case of an emergency (like always said with Starliner). Otherwise they would have sent the replacement which was always sitting there for such a situation earlier.

Könnte gut sein, dass Trump sich da den falschen Gegner ausgesucht hat. Das dürfte außer in der komplett verdummten MAGA Bubble nicht gut ankommen. Backfire incoming...

Brasiliens, der selbst gern auf den ärmeren Norden und Nordosten herabschaut, durchaus auch rassistisch geprägt, ziemlich gut.

Das Schlimme ist, dass dort die brasilianische Rechte das Thema gerade nutzt, um die Regierung Lula anzugreifen. Nach dem Motto, er hat doch Recht und das ist alles nur die Schuld der Linken. Leider funktioniert die Kampagne in gewissen Kreisen vor allem im wohlhabenden, weißen Süden und Südosten

Solche Äußerungen haben massiven Einfluss auf internationale Beziehungen, damit auch auf wirtschaftliche Zusammenarbeit und damit eben sehr wohl auf die Realpolitik. Was das nicht nur in Brasilien, sondern generell im Globalen Süden auslöst, ist nicht zu unterschätzen.

Danke - sehr wichtiger Beitrag!

Let's hope so - but I am not completely convinced unfortunately. German mentality towards faschism is different from for example Scandinavian countries, acceptance much deeper ingrained in a larger part of the population. Was only hidden for quite some time, now coming out again full scale.

Que ele perguntou para journalistas que acompanhavam ele para o Brasil se alguém quiser ficar lá - e ninguém quis. Todo mundo tava "tão feliz para voltar pra a Alemanha tão bonita"... Em um tom que não parece está longe da fala do Trump sobre "shitholes"...

I was not sure if it was still absolutely zero as a few years ago, but I know that non of my friends from the old days who are maximum lower middle class ever had problems to get their medications. Only problem with SUS can be waiting time sometimes - but that's the same about everywhere by now...

Habe mehr als ein Jahrzehnt in Brasilien gelebt, in Sozialprojekten gearbeitet, so hohe Zuzahlungen gibt es im SUS nicht.

Offenbar ja... Waren vielleicht private, die nicht ins öffentliche System eingebunden waren.

Unfortunately they are gaining support in the Western part of Germany as well.

Ausgerechnet das öffentliche Gesundheitswesen in Brasilien zu attackieren zeugt von großer Unwissenheit über das Land...

Very nice - how far were you away from the launch site?

And on the second try only... There might be a few more surprises coming from BO in the future.

Clouds and fog here, like last night.😬

Is this a commercial or a government launch as it is flying a payload for NASA?

Die Billion (auf Deutsch) ist schon richtig, im Englischen ist das eine Trillion, so wie deren Billion auf Deutsch eine Milliarde ist.

The damage he will do to NASA will be huge. Not to say Duffy would have been much better...

Great thread - I never knew about the table story...

I sent the article to an engineering friend of mine, who is involved in the project from the Gateway side. His comments: 1/3 wrong facts, 1/3 hateful incorrect framing, 1/3 correct sources but misinterpreted...

It's about it being ready now when it's needed. Contrary to Starship HLS. That's what counts. All the rest is whataboutism.

No, it's actually not. I am surprised you recommend him.

I know a bit of the background through personal contacts, don't worry.

Well, first of all, ex-JPL does not mean expert on human spaceflight. Second he has an agenda to discredit NASA due to a personal beef with them. Sometimes you have to know the background...

No need to - this guy is an idiot who has a personal beef with NASA and is not exactly an expert on human spaceflight.

It was used by some people as a nickname - for Artemis III without a lander, but with the completed SLS/Orion hardware.😉

Are you talking about a "Artemis III" mission I heard about as Artemis 2.5, with no landing and maybe not even a Lunar orbit, just for checking out a lot of things again and avoiding a long break between missions?
