  • If you blink really fast the heat generated by your eyelids makes a very bright light that is very similar to sun rays.

    Fortunately for us the 4 astronauts were very well trained with this technique so they each took turns at lighting up the moon while the others took photographs.

    In other news it was probably not a good idea to call it the dark side of the moon hence why it’s refer to as the far side of the moon.

    Good luck with the blinking, stay hydrated.



  • I’ll be the actually guy because it’s pretty cool but there’s no fuel needed for the return since the moon’s gravity did the job to turn around Orion and with inertia plus Earth gravity Orion will essentially fall back to Earth.

    The whole thing is actually quite similar to throwing a ball in the air, it goes up slowing down until it turns around and comes back to you. On a different scale but the idea is quite similar so the only energy truly needed is the initial push (plus a few trajectory adjustement).




  • Please avoid calling people dumb on the internet. And whatever you just said about not being transparent and the reason for it is so short sightest I’m honnestly wondering if you know what you are saying.

    From the article I shared:

    “I would never be happy accepting a workaround and flying something that I know is the worst version of that heat shield we could possibly fly and hoping that the workaround is going to fix it,” Camarda said. “What I really hope he [Isaacman] gets is that if we don’t get back to doing research at NASA, we’re not going to be able to help Starship solve their problems. We’ve got to get back to doing research.”

    You honesfly think the new re-entry trajectory is not a workaround? Do you work there? Please provide some source. Sorry I forgot, I’m too dumb to understand, I don’t deserve full description of the issues.
