Assume a spherical population in a vacuum…

Inspiring?

Starliner has landed at White Sands, New Mexico for its first three flights, and, while not orbital-class, New Shepard’s capsules also come down on land in west Texas.

I guess ranking in the bottom 3 on every list of good things by state eventually gets to you.

Bad news, another tomorrow is on the way.

SpaceX IS Artemis. At least a part of it. They were the first selected to provide the Human Landing System (the lunar lander). When the time comes for one of those to land humans on the moon, people will be excited. We just aren’t there yet.

I don’t know why you’re getting downvoted. I assume it’s just because you aren’t saying “Elon bad”. What you said is accurate with the exception of the last part, because Blue Origin is also in the HLS (lunar lander) business now and there’s a decent chance theirs is ready first.

Despite the stink of Elon on SpaceX, I bet many of these same people will closely follow a Starship HLS lunar landing. It’ll still be cool.

beep has become notorious over in !comicstrips@lemmy.world for sleazily cropping out artist attributions, stating that they consider them to be “ads”. It led to so much uproar that a new mod came in and the community rules were overhauled.

Note that the post title isn’t correct. The grand jury hasn’t convened yet, and Reddit hasn’t been ordered to turn over the data.
