Will $1.6billion Let NASA's New Artemis Program Become Reality?
YouTube ^ | Tuesday, May 14, 2019 | Scott Manley

Posted on 05/14/2019 1:23:27 PM PDT by SunkenCiv

After a revised budget proposal from the Whitehouse added another $1.6billion mostly to pay to stop more SLS delays NASA announced that their plan to return to the Moon in 5 years would be named 'Artemis'. Which is of course the best name for any lunar program, so good in fact that NASA aren't the first people to use the name of this goddess for a space program. So let's have a quick tour of other projects with the same name. Realistically, the budget may not happen, for obvious political reasons, but I hope the name stays.

Yeah, I prefer his channel, not least because, even though he's all-in on the AGW hoax, he doesn't bring it up in every ****in' video.

I really think we should’ve continued to aim for Mars rather than the moon. Seems halfhearted to me. Stupid PR stunts like mandating gender of the astronauts in this program also seem silly.

We shouldnt be wasting money on science when we should be spending 93 trillion on fake science

Von Braun's plan was to use the Saturn V booster to assemble a Mars mission in LEO, and estimated (probably a very good estimate) that it would take ten S5 launches to complete the assembly.

If we go to the moon first, wouldn't it be possible to mine a sufficient amount of soil, put it up in orbit, and fashion a shield so that it could be used to protect astronauts from solar radiation on their way to Mars?

Or are we just going to tell the Mars astronauts that they will most likely die soon after their visit?

Why?

Name two good reasons we should go back to the Moon or even go to Mars?

I would think we have learned enough about he ill effects of weightlessness and other than that exposure to radiation, to know that without some means of mitigating both of these the trip is without merit.

Are the chicoms going to colonize the Moon or Mars? How about India? Russia?

1. To gain the high ground.

2. Because it's there.

In 20 years the US will have a permanent scientific presence on the Moon; also a number of US companies will have permanent facilities there, not least because they'll have to build stuff for the the permanent scientific presence; China, India, and probably Israel will also have at the very least put people there, even if they don't wind up building permanent facilities; I doubt that Russia will accomplish this, their plan for putting one cosmonaut on the Moon just long enough to plant the flag and take some photos never made it to feasibility, and they haven't improved with age.

The reason effects of long-term weightlessness was studied was to figure out what to do about in during long-duration missions, such as human missions to Mars.

Reasons:
  1. Rare Earth metals are not so rare in space; tourist travel will also take place, and will become more commonplace after there's a destination, such as a Las Vegas on the lunar surface, and orbiting zero-G hotels.
  2. It'll be fun to watch your head explode.
