2:39:28 How did they release the SRC from the long line? Must've been some quick disconnect device that I cannot see. The time it took to separate the SRC was super quick 5 seconds lol.
Their coverage never fails to disappoint. How disappointing. I finally just muted the sound and turned off the subtitles. Acceptable video, but not up to the standards of the spacecraft reentries in the 1960s and the Shuttle program. Truly amazing what we Americans can accomplish if we're allowed. No other people in the world could bring a sample of an asteroid back to Earth successfully with a robot. I don't expect any surprizes versus moon rocks returned by Apollo.
It must be by design, but to what end is the disturbing question. They cut away the seconds prior to the chute deployment to black & white infrared red as the hyperbolic commentator seems to wet his pants with awe the moment the chute is declared deployed “You can see the chute opening”…..mmm no I saw over contrasted IR and the split second it was declared “open” the impossible as it is IR imagery to discern what’s what scrambles for the first and only time for that fraction of a second??? The first Artemis live images of the moon were by far less impressive and detailed than looking at the moon with the naked eye (let alone my telephone Nikon lens). Deployment of the chute at 5,000 ft above ground and touch down in IR? It is abjectly the last means of imagery to rationally feed the public to which this was the intended audience. What is the purpose of low quality and shaky cameras?
Uhhhh... "No other people in the world..." China just returned and recovered samples - robotically - from the *Far Side* of the Moon - something we COULD have done long ago, but we got sloppy, unimaginative, fat, and lazy. Our Apollo astronauts (about which many people are so uninformed now, that they think it must have been IMPOSSIBLE to do at all, when we did it). Both Gemini and Apollo were incredible programs that took 300,000 people to do - and people are denying - after astronauts DIED getting there (in the Test capsule - Apollo 1, and we nearly lost all 3 Apollo 13 astronauts) - that we even did it. This, even though the landing sites, the return launch platforms, and many tools, Rovers, and tracks are easily imaged (and have been, many times). Even the laser mirrors they put in place are still being used to measure distance - and you've got these morons marching up and down saying "We never went...van Allen Belts...and blah blah blah." Overwhelming ignorance. THAT is what we've become.
And then a crow swept in and stole it. Everyone on the recovery team screamed, the crow startled and dropped it so a seagull swooped in, caught it and ate it. Seagull pooped it out 12 hours later and the world ended. 😂
Can you imagine if they found microbes in the samples that are unlike anything from this Earth? Bet they wouldn't tell the public until ten or twenty years from now.
No, it isn't. Japan has already visited 2 asteroids, and China has done something we never did - returned to Earth samples from the Far Side of the Moon. They didn't bring back a lot, like our Apollo program did. The Apollo astronauts brought a HUGE amount of rocks, regolith, pebbles, and mineral samples back from the Moon's near side, which - even after all this time - scientists from all over the world are still studying, as our tools improve. But even the U.S., in its prime, couldn't get samples back from the Far Side. This should show us how far we have slipped - we are catching up to Japan and China...
They can't help themselves, they always have to use words like Osiris to show their sinful alliance with the devil. Hell has room for all sinners. You reap what you sow in the end. Read the Authorized King James Bible for the truth about it.
Not impressed with the sketchy re-entry footage. NASA either can’t or won’t be bothered to better film live re-entry footage than it could 60 years ago. The technology on laughable conflagrations of “stunning footage” has certainly make a giant leap, for whom I don’t know, other than not for all Mankind. P.S. The whole world knows Artemis is a joke of concept and launch system. Even Boeing hates it and wants out. Fund Space X to do the entire job right and get out of way.
Why do you need a Geologist? There is a very specific reason why you would spend billions on this specific "asteroid:" It is very clearly a constructed object. It's very old, but definitely built. Even Its shape as an "asteroid" shows clear geometric qualities, like a gigantic space vessel. This has nothing to do with the "origins of our solar system," and you know it. Looking at the images already sent back to Earth from the camera, the metallic objects scattered everywhere, and the superstructure on and in the object are clearly visible. Even after whatever the image curators contracted by NASA to "process" the photos, like all pictures from everywhere else we have images from, these objects (scattered all over the surface, and sticking into and out of it) are unmistakably artificial. It's an interesting near-Earth object - I wonder who built it, how long ago, and what its function was?
