Artemis II: Rightguide is Apoplectic

Amazing to see this administration ignore the obvious political upside from this mission.

Indeed. Could be because they're, ehem, occupied, or could be because Trump didn't think the astronauts liked him. But it's unusual.

For the "isn't this a been-there-done-that-deal": no. This tested new communications and other future mission hardware, plus new ways of seeing how space affects human cells. It was a prep mission for something very different coming up in the future.

A permanent moon colony is nothing like hopping around up there & planting flags.

Any other politician would be finding budget to add to NASA and upping their targets.

dear leader isn't getting enough attention from it because he's not smart enough to be involved in the discussion.

The Artemis II crew has broken the record for furthest human travel from Earth.

Great human achievements when you keep MAGAcunts away.

No, I’m not apoplectic, merely entertained. Here we have contactors marinated in DEI pieties that can draft a manifesto at dawn but cannot, by dusk, produce a toilet that functions as advertised. One is tempted to suggest they ring up Elon Musk and beg a few spare engineers from SpaceX, men who, whatever their sins, can at least contrive to move matter in the intended direction.

Apollo 13 transpired before I first drew breath; so no, there’s no “new frontier” here, only the same old voyage, now performed with higher precision. They have, I grant, improved the images, indeed, with my very brand of camera, so that the spectacle of incompetence arrives in crisp, almost artistic detail. One must be grateful for small mercies.

You saved up a lot of flowery prose for your return. It somehow makes you appear even more psychotic if that is even possible.

You saved up a lot of flowery prose for your return. It somehow makes you appear even more psychotic if that is even possible.

How obliging of you to diagnose “psychosis” where you’ve simply encountered a sentence with more than one clause. To the untrained ear, cadence sounds like delirium. If the prose feels “flowery,” it’s only because you’re unused to anything that isn’t pre-chewed. You mistake ornament for excess the way a man mistakes a library for clutter, both being indictments of the observer, not the object. But do carry on. Your inability to follow the argument has now been upgraded to a medical opinion.

follow the argument

If you would oblige us by following the argument, we'd be no end pleased!

What is the title of the thread? Have you read it?

Good point! You sound apoplectic indeed.

was reading an article today that the moon colony would need to be on the dark side of the moon because the amount of direct sunlight (unfiltered by atmosphere) tend to make the surface of the bright side incredibly hot (250F/120C) during the day.

It should also be noted that the moon is subject to countless surface meteorite impacts due to zero atmosphere (similar to Mars with its extremely thin atmosphere), and the moon also experiences “moonquakes” from various causes (some as strong as 5.5 on the Richter scale).

I’m not sure a “moon base” (or a Mars base) is the best “next step” in space exploration / science.

Orbital colonies are well and good, but the space age ain't really STARTED until we have a permanent human presence on the surface of another body.

There is no permanent dark side. Both sides receive the same amount of sunlight in a lunar month. But we only see one side due to the way the moon rotates in sync with the Earth.

There is no permanently dark half of the Moon. The so-called “dark side” is more accurately the far side, the side that always faces away from Earth. But it still gets sunlight just like the near side, because the Moon rotates. So putting a colony there doesn’t avoid heat. Are you going to be okay?

Nothing they said infers the dark side was a permanent thing.

Lol. Really? You know that completely makes my day.

You're right, and I was mistaken. Go take a victory lap if your legs are up to the challenge.

I'll never go to the moon so I'm okay, but I'm wondering how a moon colony can exist on the moon with radical changes in temperature from extreme heat to extreme cold. Any ideas?

Well, did any of the astronauts stay long enough for that to be a problem?

We could begin with the serious biological challenges because the lunar environment works against how our bodies evolved. The Moon’s low gravity leads to bone loss, muscle atrophy, and cardiovascular weakening, while the lack of an atmosphere exposes humans to dangerous radiation that increases cancer risk and DNA damage. Extreme temperature swings and toxic lunar dust add further physical hazards, and the long 29-day day/night cycle will also disrupt natural sleep rhythms. On top of that, isolation and confinement strain mental health, and we still don’t fully understand how reproduction or long-term development would work in such conditions. In short, living on the Moon isn’t just a minor difficulty, it requires overcoming the fundamental limits of human biology. These same biological barriers, along with the laws of physics will prevent us from sending a human being to Mars, in spite of Elon's statements to the contrary.

That's all right -- we'll just let the Chinese work out the kinks.

Astronauts on the International Space Station experience external temperature swings from 250 degrees Fahrenheit to -250 degrees Fahrenheit every 90 minutes. The structure and systems on ISS help shield the humans inside from those temperature swings.

Is there a point to this exploration? Our solar system may be the second or third stellar system occupying this part of the Milky Way since the universe began. Were there other intelligent beings in those previous systems? Does every intelligent planet eventually destroy itself? Should we just make a lot of money and fuck a lot of women? What is the point?
