STS-132


Reminder to all in this thread:

No western nation has engaged in manned spaceflight on its own soil with its own vehicles since the space shuttle program ended under barack obama in 2011.

The manned spaceflight gap now stands at 6 years. Commercial crew, mostly due to regulatory delays, is not due to begin human flights until 2019. One year before the end of trump's first term.


The west is truly a mess and globalists destroyed it. Stop letting these people lie to you wake the fuck up already.

>>131513031
You can see the light from the ISS from the ground. No stars in the sky, but there's this one light moving pretty quickly across it. Maybe you can't see it in Emu land or something, but you can see it in the US at least.

>>131513859
Seen it myself and I got lucky enough to watch a shuttle launch in person before the program ended.

I've never been to KSC during a launch, but I live about an hour and a half away. Interesting note, I can see people that live even closer react to the sonic boom on the internet before I even hear it myself. Two launches ago, someone said "Holy shit, that sonic boom!" in the /pol/ or /sci/ thread and then I heard it a few seconds later. Shows how fast the internet is and how slow sound is.

with CCTCap they're not going to be doing powered landings for at least the first two missions, but i guess spacex can do whatever they want as long as they have FAA approval. 2019 maybe? they're going to have to do it for red dragon at least, so if that slips to 2020-2022, 2019 sounds about right.

>>131511802
Same, not enough people appreciate or even care about the fact we have a fucking space station. And what it means for humanity, how far we've come, and how much further we have yet to go.

Serious question: has anything useful come out of all the money that went to the ISS?

The space race in the 60s at least improved ICBM tech exponentially. I have no clue what the ISS is supposed to accomplish, if anything.

>>131515370
it's a microgravity environment that we can do experiments in on demand, and it ensures NASA/ESA/Roscosmos are all capable of operating space stations.

Grew up with a poster of the ISS on my wall. I think of Kennedy's and Reagan's speeches in Berlin. I think of the relief we gave to you and Japan and France and England following WWII. I think of the compassion Germany has shown to refugees of terrible war so recently. I thank God I live in a nation who understands that all faiths and backgrounds have value and only add to the tapestry of our culture and indeed world culture. I turn to the likes of Elon Musk and many other innovators I meet in everyday life. I buy a Coke for a stranger and watch some baseball. It's a rough patch, not a dead end. Keep your head up brother. The revolution will not be televised.

it really is too bad. on some level i would like to devote myself to something greater. however the reality is that governments all across the world are shrinking their spending and our economic system is becoming more and more strained. there will be no more great projects as resources are concentrated to the lucky few.

That's literally the opposite of whats happening the leaps in space exploration we've made and are about to make in this decade overshadow anything humanity has done so far. Space exploration projects are only increasing in number and scope

I think about how the world is not that bad or good, its whatever I put my mood on it. I just keep hoping its going to get better. Another thing I do is to remember to love myself for disliking things

The shuttle was garbage.
Sure, it looked like a futuristic spaceship, but it had a shitload of design flaws, which is why it blew up twice, not to mention it was incapable of flying beyond our atmosphere.
It wasn't a spaceship, just a plane that could fly higher than usual.
And it wasn't needed anymore.
We have the Soyuz and the cargo ships which do the same job but much cheaper.
Sure, they look like giant penises in aluminium condoms, but they do their job nicely.

If we get to Mars, pic related will take us there.

>>131517750
That's not good.
The ISS is nothing but a waste of money.
NASA is taking so long with Orion and SLS because they keep spending most of their money on mantaining that tin can up there.

The ISS you see in your telescope is a mere hologram. You can see it for yourself on YouTube. It glows. But of course, they will tell you it's the effect of the sun on the atmosphere, so if you want more proof, there is enough video evidence available from NASA themselves of astronauts pretending to be in the ISS when they're really just in front of a green screen.

>>131519273
How does the hologram orbit the planet? Show me the source.

>>131519081
Just make everything cylindrical and build bigger reusable rockets. That's how we're gonna reduce to cost of space flight. Larger engines are more efficient, therefore larger rockets mean larger space vehicles and increases the profitability of space travel. We don't need pretty vehicles to get into space, we just need to put together smaller vehicles to make larger ones in space.

negligible, and especially for first stages not that important. Fuel is cheap. The merlin engines for examples still use an open cycle. Significant efficiency improvements come from switching fuels and to a closed gas generator cycle, the raptor will be the first full flow staged combustion engine. The most efficient Kerolox engine right now is still the relatively small NK33 and its derivate, first produced in the late 60s.

If you need someone to hold your hand through it, you're not going to get it anyways. There is no orbit. The ISS is clearly a hologram. And all you have to do is search it on youtube. A video will show you the evidence and help you believe more than one image or my words can show you. If you aren't willing to give it a few hours of research, then you simply don't care and I would be wasting my time anyways explaining it to you.

>>131520748
Yet you can't explain how the hologram travels across the planet let alone what the source of the hologram is and how it functions. Vague references to youtube isn't proof of anything.

>>131521027
Fair enough. I say proof is in the videos, and you say video isn't proof of anything. I can ask the same. Where is your proof of the ISS, beyond video format? Which is just being silly. It's clear you are not taking this seriously.

>>131521445
ISS can be seen by the naked eye and in detail with a telescope. That's proof.

I never said video evidence wasn't proof. I said vague references to youtube isn't proof. According to youtube the big headed scientist Yakub invented white people, space nords from the hollow earth built the pyrimads, and angry alien giants riding a brown dwarf star will attack the earth.
