NASA needs a cheaper way to fly Artemis past Artemis 4 and 5 sp with Starship doing the TLI and LOI burns might be time to rethink the Aries 1 rocket, I would have to be way cheaper than the 4.5 billion spent on SLS per flight and only funded through Artemis 5 the Aries 1 with a Centaur 5 upper...

Is it just me but might be time to rethink the Aries 1 rocket Having work at NASA during the Constellation Project where the Aries 5 upper stage would do the TLI burn and then the Altair Lander to do the LOI burn it looks like we need to look at that again. With the Moonship doing both the TLI...

Jerred Isaacman sort of let the cat out of the bag when he referred to the connecting ridge as the landing site for Artemis 4, I am wondering if any one here has tried to find it in Orbiter and knowing that the closer to the South Pole the surface mesh seems to be a mess. we might need to work...

with flight 12 of Star ship it would be nice to see and updated version 3 in orbiter . Keep in mind version 3 would also be used as Moonship

Hello just an update on these SLS rockets in production. NASA has not yet changed their plans to cancel Artemis after Artemis 3. Yes NASA said it had a new faster plan but no new contracts changes have been announced. there is a contract for Orions through Artemis 8 so if this all get canned...

Something is wrong with my Moon in Orbit just see a black hole no texture any ideas

I have a copy of a Space X Dragon designed to land on the Moon, couple this with the Deep Space Dragon and makes a cool looking addon but it seems to be unfinished. Yes the landing legs work but thats about it not much control in Orbit or landing. I was thinking about using a Dragon XL with...

NASA released the new Artemis ll mission patch on Thursday . It follows the shape of the Artemis theme patches and it shows the Earth rise from the Apollo 8 mission should fly in February of 2026 so with the rocket stacked waiting for Orion seems to be getting close

Might be time to take a look at a new way to the Moon with stuff already flying and some modifications of Dragon One of our orbiternaunts sent me a Dragon Lander and looks really cool but has RCS issues . there is some talk about launching Orion on a Falcon Heavy and having it dock in LEO...

Looking for some help to update my Falcon9 with dragon 2nd stage paint job

Just watched the CRS launch last night and would like to see a new cargo Dragon. I do have one but not a lot to it as when you call it up the trunk is already loose from the cabin and could use those lights and a launch scn Ok was able to use the attachment manager to connect the truck looks...

Just some new updates about Artemis. the GAO has released a report with state that only 4 SLS's are funded at this time but there is a decadal survey through Artemis 8. The Artemis plan seems pretty up in the air for now with the uncertainty about the Artemis 3 flight the report states that...

Artemis II is moving along with the ICPS stage at KSC and the Booster core stage close to being shipped

A few years ago I had a chance to meet JoAnn Carr , she had wrote a book about her time in Houston. I did see this picture of the group of wives and daughters who still meet at times in central Texas

June 5 1966 was the EVA day for Gemini 9A.. it was called that by NASA do you the deaths of the prime crew Elliot See and Charlie Basset replaced by the backup crew Tom Stafford and Gene Cernan both went on to play a big part in the Apollo program. I wonder today about what role the prime crew...

On a trip last week took us by the US Space and Rocket Center really had some cool stuff to see. The first thing you see on the road is a full scale Saturn 5 standing up right. As old as I am I have never seen one in its launch position.. Going inside the Apollo suit for backup Commander Dick...
