Hell yeah, the Voyagers are fawking awesome and shows how well that stuff is manufactured. Here's the NASA article from back when they did it, too cool.
Not the best source but this is cool, they’ve had to dig out the original tech manuals to figure out the process to fire the aux engines to re-orient the spacecraft.
lol shit, I saw the date on the article and thought it was new, damnit.Hell yeah, the Voyagers are fawking awesome and shows how well that stuff is manufactured. Here's the NASA article from back when they did it, too cool.
Haha sites like that are frustrating because while what they say can have accurate info, it's always presented as "new" stuff with no date mentioned by design. Still awesome stuff, but shame on them for being just another dilution of the truth like every other media company in existence these days.lol shit, I saw the date on the article and thought it was new, damnit.
I live in Southport NC. When there was an evening launch, we used to head over to the beach to watch the Shuttle take off from Florida. If conditions were just right, you could see the boosters drop off and watch the shuttle zoom away in the sunlight. Good times!Successful launch and booster landing, and fawkin incredible views from the ground. They launched during twilight, so the rocket flew up into direct sunlight and created the awesome "jellyfish" effect you get to see a couple times a year
Grabbed both Hail Mary and Artemis on Amazon. Thanks for the recommendation. I liked The Martian so will prob enjoy those.
Any mention of why they scrubbed?
Saw a headline this morning that mattel is gonna make some spacex toys. I think that's pretty rad.
