If only Katalyst knew how to make a satellite bus...

Yea, about as likely as Elon solving world hunger, I'd say. No billionaire is a good person. They don't become billionaires by, "doing it on their own dime".

I'm pretty sure this dudes a billionaire sycophant. I forget why but I had him labeled as Eloncuck

presses X to doubt

Before he was NASA administrator, Jared even offered to do this on his own dime. Hopefully something will come of it this time.

Nice!

No. But Artemis III is because it’s a stalling tactic to accommodate SpaceX which has failed to deliver the landing system they contracted to build and, as a result, has imperiled the whole program.

Artemis II: "Am I a joke to you?"

NASA has become so goddamn boring since Obama set it on its ‘just facilitate private space industries’ course.

Well I guess the reason Katalyst was the only company who said they could do it... Was because they didn't know what they were getting themselves into and couldn't do it. I'm still stunned that someone with no flight heritage won this in the first place.

Hopefully all the little lunar lander missions ramp up the rideshare availability for these.

And IIRC it takes about 20-30 years for the effects of emissions to show up. We're experiencing the emissions from the 1990s

fun fact: MORE THAN HALF of all CO2 emissions in modern human history occurred in the past 30-40 years. source: OurWorldInData

it's basically a straight line up since 1950:

additional source: More than half of all CO2 emissions since 1751 emitted in the last 30 years

I think we’re cooked, chat.

Keep in mind these are the same scientists that say we should use magnets instead of steam \s

Fuck you, fucking Americans, Yankee

You're gonna die outta cancer, I promise

Given we are the biggest per capita carbon emitters, this feels appropriate

They should turn it off

Well, fuck. That is an existentially effective graphic.

Maybe you're looking for "learn to swim"

Ha ha, I'm in danger.

Not what they meant when they said, "spiral out, keep going".

That's a really cool visualization!

I want to be worried about the Centaur V variant, but where even is the rest of SLS!? I'm really hoping the push to launch at least annually actually pans out.

Nice shot though.
