I remember that story, they literally frame every story along their clown world narrative.

Satellites and crap get launched every week. Personnel and supplies are moving back and forth from the International Space Station all the time. You don't hear about it for the same reason you don't hear about some kid who tripped and skinned his knee... it's just not news any more.

NASAs been using private companies to transport people and crap back and forth for a few years because once again, private enterprises can do everything better than the government.

Because America is filled with spics and niggers, the Chinese will be the leaders of space now.

I was waiting at the Long John Silver's while listening to that. That was one of maybe two segments they had run that day that wasn't another reason why everything is Trump's fault again. Somehow, it was so off the wall it made waiting at the drive-thru entertaining.

How can you reach for the stars when you are forced to wipe niggers asses for them?

Cost. WITH a fully functioning production line, each Saturn V would cost 100 million+.

in the 70s, shit was easy, everything was so blurry
but today it would be much harder to have a good staged moonlanding without making some mistake that only autism kids can find

We do but you're not allowed to know about it.

We use other countries platforms because NASA wasn't funded for a heavy lift platform, since the shuttle was mothballed.

We're building a new one, because the magic negro isn't around anymore.

>npr
theres your first problem

Space X broke the record for the rocket engine with the highest thrust to weight ratio (the Merlin 1D can lift 180.1x the amount of it's own weight) but the F1 is still the most powerful rocket engine developed, even to this day.

Because we can't. While we have sets of toleranced drawings for the engines, they aren't updated with hand-made changes. Along with the fact that the welders knowledgeable to make them are no longer alive/working. So much institutional knowledge has been lost that we would essentially be starting from scratch.

Also, the the lack of bureaucracy of NASA back in the day made it so we could advance quickly. Now, it takes forever for NASA to do anything dealing with human spaceflight and the cost is exponentially more.

Somehow people turn it into some racist / sexist nonsense but the reality is we don't build things any more because they have slashed the fuck out of the budget.

NASA will probably want to go with the more efficient regenerative engine design perfected in Russia and fitted to later model Atlas boosters.

Thrust to weight is the whole ballgame in rocketry.

>Because we can't.

The Saturn V is the most impressive vehicle of any kind ever built by humans. That said, rebuilding it today would be pants on head retarded even if we had all the supply chains and relevant boomers all easily at hand. It is 50 years out of date and far too dangerous for use in an era when spaceflight is routine. The Saturn V was estimated to have a 1/10 failure rate and would inevitably have had spectacular failures if it had not been retired. 1/10 is totally unacceptable for manned spaceflight.

Building a cleansheet design Saturn V class rocket is the most intelligent thing to do if there is a need for that payload capacity. Materials science advances and computer aided design along with a half century of further research on rocket design give you a vehicle of equal performance at far lower cost and much higher reliability.

People say we can't build a Saturn V from original designs today, and that is correct (without ridiculous expense) - but it is for exactly the same reason we can't build a Model T.

The moonshot was amazing, but ultimately it was a flex and nothing more. Flags and footprints are nothing. The current state of space is far more impressive and important, but less spectacular. Once resource utilization and space manufacture start up you'll see some real shit.

Yes, goy! Why would you want to go to space? It's too dangerous and there's nothing there! Just stay here where it's warm and cozy so you can watch people do stupid things on Youtube for the rest of your life. Oh, and don't forget to take out a nice, big loan from my good friend, Mr. Shekelberg!

kikes have halted science

>Somehow people turn it into some racist / sexist nonsense but the reality is we don't build things any more because they have slashed the fuck out of the budget.

NASA has robots sending live video from other worlds, a space station, found more planets in a couple years than the entire rest of human history combined, built and operated a fleet of space shuttles (bad idea, granted), and, most importantly, has singlehandedly cultivated a viable private space industry that designs its own vehicles and reduced the cost of space access.

But yeah, "they don't build things anymore". Kepler alone is more valuable than all of Apollo.

You mean a movie prop? We build those still.

Could we call it a "science halt?"

All that and Shuttle got to 1/50. Don't fly on ye olde rockets. Putting humans on heavy lift was always ridiculous - have a small, dead-simple dead-reliable crew launch vehicle and rendezvous with whatever mission vehicle on orbit. Bonus of not having to human-rate the heavy.

Also, a manned lunar gateway station is in the works with the first component scheduled to be launched in 2022.

Today, they will remind us.

I hate that new name for the scaled back version of what NASA first wanted.

“Deep Space Gateway” was cool.
“LOP-G” is.. well LOP-G.

I will still be happy if it gets done though, scaled down or not.

This is only possible after we've established a source of nickel iron. a way to smelt and forge it in space. The cost of shipping stuff off Earth is just too high otherwise, we'll forever be stuck with tiny shit like

>Rockets from the Falcon 9 family have been launched 70 times over 9 years, resulting in 68 full mission successes (97.1%), one partial success (CRS-1 delivered its cargo to the ISS, but a secondary payload was stranded in a lower-than-planned orbit), and one failure (the CRS-7 spacecraft was lost in flight).

Whatever m8.

>This should have been pursued as a waystation between near and deep space.

What you star trek dreamers don't get is that 50 people on the moon or mars or venus or a space station will accomplish exactly zero, same as the ISS which has accomplished nothing that automated systems could not have done way cheaper. Take the wonderful repair of the Hubble back when the shuttle still flew. If we had not wasted billions on man-rated deathtraps we could have built 10 Hubbles, each one better than the one before.

Man in space has always been a PR stunt that was required to get funding. If you had a clue, you would know that it will be hundreds or thousands of years or eternity before humans will actually live on a habitable planet other than earth, and living in space in 2019 does not shorten that time span by one second.

>Bigelow Aerospace

Isn't this the outfit founded by a dude who made money on something super mundane like mobile homes, and has spent most of his fortune since designing some pretty cool space habitation modules that are both low weight and large volume?

Developing a manned launch system like this takes about a decade from initial design to being truly mission ready, minimum. In the modern political climate no program like that can survive long enough to produce results. They are just too easy to kill off while they are still in the early phases, happens every time a new moon mission program tries getting pushed.

While mostly true there has been happenings in space that only on the spot human ingenuity could fix.
The Russians space station repair for example, their automated system couldn't do shit thanks to the power outage and ground control had no idea what was happening.

no soviet union, so capitalists relax and go back to business

Kinda, he's a big real estate / hotel / buildings / modular homes / etc guy.
And yeah he took the early idea NASA had for inflatable modules for the ISS, and made it better (and threw way more money into the idea than NASA could fund).

>This should have been pursued as a waystation between near and deep space.

We're in the leaky canoe phase of space travel. Baby steps.

>ISS which has accomplished nothing that automated systems could not have done way cheaper.

Except for the studies on long term spaceflight on the human body and the development of mitigation strategies. That will come in handy.

Toxic masculinity.

Can you imagine what the Spanish thought as they watched Columbus sail into the sunset?
>lmao what a dumbass have fun starving at sea lol

>Baby steps
That's why I'm a big supporter of the lunar gateway station idea. We couldn't build a full Moon or Mars colony yet because we don't have any experience at it, but we've gotten rather good at building space stations. So it's a natural progression to build a station around the Moon that allows for short trips to the surface to do experiments and gradually develop the ability to maintain a presence on other worlds.

>Let us go down and confuse their genders.

It's ignorant mouthbreathers like you that keep back the space program. The ISS has produced mountains of data that can't be obtained elsewhere, and is a fully functioning laboratory, but because you're too dumb and lazy to look at the papers published, all you do is drool and pull pure bullshit out of your ass.
