We srsly went to the moon in this contraption. Yes I know this pic is just a mockup.
Love the gold foil. It was a nice touch.

astronauts spent a week in this tincan
imagine the smell
There was literally a poop nugget floating around at one point and one of the astronauts was like "it's not mine!" The astronauts on the space station still keep around Apollo bags in case of a toilet malfunction, because the Russians won't let them use theirs (pic related)
yes, they did. but I suspect you're too fucking stupid to comprehend how.
You srsly need to work on that reading comprehension.
I cummed into your toothpaste 3 months ago and you are only now finding out lol
Woah he only found out now? He must not use much toothpaste
on this site, when someone says "we srsly" and "love the gold foil. It was a nice touch", I am inclined to conclude that they are a fucking moron who's about to start going on about how they cant see stars in the photographs, or van allen radiation, or even "the aether".
That's not reading comprehension, its my low opinion of the sort of people who post pictures of moon landers on Anon Babble.
And yet generations later we've never went back. The youth are more interested in chancing their luck at being a social media personality that couldn't even tell you who walked on the moon.
There should be zoomers in space that are preparing for the first Mars colonies, instead we get tiktoks of them asking how the mirror knows what's behind their hand.
Touch grass.
and what the fuck's that even supposed to mean?
Dude you need to learn to chill. If you dont control your emotions, someone else will. Its just a random ass thread on a random ass messageboard.
Touch. Grass.
Most astronauts are in their 40s, they should mostly be millennials these days.
It isn't gold. It is Kapton and aluminum foil. Kapton has a gold color to it. When aluminum foil is applied it gets a gold appearance.
I use kapton tape all the time.
I imagine the "gold" is actually polyamide film. It is orange and has a very high melting point for a plastic. When you metalize it, it looks gold.
Yep, as I said here
It is kapton with an aluminum foil applied to it. The kapton is a clear gold color. When you give it a metal backing it looks like metallic gold. It is really just aluminum foil with a transparent gold plastic layer.
It is super light weight and thin. Very high melting temperature. Reflects solar radiation and helps keep the parts under it at stable temperatures.
What does Kapton do?
They're in their 40s because the technical skills aren't developed at a younger age and we don't send many up into space so they have to pick the most qualified and esteemed of the very best.
By now space should be a legitimate frontier, the specialists should all already be up there and now through generations of good teaching and parenting people in their 20s should be candidates for space.
Astronauts being in their 40s is directly because of the lack of progress that's been made in space. The middle aged astronauts should be living on a semi permanent moon base performing their experiments on the moon.
It is a very high melting point plastic. It probably makes the foil resistant to tearing. I am not 100% sure why it was used but that would be my guess.
I use kapton tape on my racing drones because it is pretty much the lightest tape there is and also quite strong. It is paper thin like regular scotch tape but much stronger.
The Moon doesn't have grass.
You're completely misremembering that incident. This was all in 2008.
The WCS that failed was on the Russian Zvezda Module of the ISS, specifically, the Gas-Liquid separator that pulls dissolved gasses from urine. This toilets solid waste systems still worked just fine, meaning NO POO FLOATED ANYWHERE. The option for everyone, Russian, British, etc. was to use urine collection bags, or to use the Soyuz toilet. Since the Soyuz toilet only had a 3 day capacity, every astronaut, cosmonaut, opted to use the bags, instead of filling the toilet to capacity.
These aren't the same bags, at all, as the ones used during the Apollo mission, and they were for urine in this specific incident. For reference, this happened May 21 and was resolved June 2.
I’m with you, space is totally real and 100% heterosexual.
I'd say the same to you, but you're already there.
touch. grass. you. nigger. faggot.... kike
Ironically, it was for heat and radiation protection.
Kapton, despite being super thin, has an incredibly low thermal transfer rate, and is surprisingly resistant to radiation and electrical pulses.
It was probably one of only a couple reasons why the ship still had functional electronics when it got to the moon.
Also, in researching tape on the space station, I discovered their "mental breakdown procedures."
If a NASA astronaut (like the one who crashed a plane intentionally killing a dozen people) went insane in space, and started trying to kill everyone or end the mission early, the genuine directive is for the entire crew to mobilize to incapacitate them, and then, bind them with Grey Tape (another word for space Duct-Tape) and rope. If they continue to lash out, bind them to a wall bed or use the emergency tranquilizers that are supplied to the modules.
Space Madness!

They should be millennials.
Millennials have included people in their 40s since 2021. The oldest millennials will be 44 this year.
That being said, Gen Z, and Zillenials, DO make up a good proportion of NASA and other space faring companies.

Warren Homburg was 37.
Coby Cotton of Dude Perfect was also in a blue origin space flight, and is considered a "Space Traveler"
Great movie. Uses all Apollo/NASA data
We didn't go back because after Apollo 17, people stopped giving a fuck about the Moon.
I was alive and a teenager back then, and I remember trying to watch the launch of Apollo 17, and it wasn't being carried live - imagine THAT.
The Nixon bought the bullshit from NASA about "hurr durr space shuttle" and that killed any future moon missions.
Same thing has happened with what Elon did - the first manned Falcon 9 mission got TONS of coverage, now, no one pays attention to it unless there are some stranded astronauts up in the ISS.
Once we land on Mars, the same thing will happen - "ho hum, someone went back to Mars, so what, I think I need a pedicure..."
It wasn't being carried live.
It was being transmitted live, with an over 3 second delay, to earth, through the SEC.
The camera on the Apollo 17 was a Film camera, based around the same emulsion and development technologies of past decades.
There is over a gigabyte of engineering data on these Secondary Electron Conduction tube Television Transmitters, which ran off an Analog FM standard. A gigabyte of data in 1972 is equivalent to several terabytes today. An IBM 2321, the largest storage I could find from 1972, held only 400 MB.
It wasn't being carried live
Yes, people had gotten bored with the Apollo missions. The movie Apollo 13 touches on that when the crew thought they were broadcasting live but it wasn't being carried by any channels because not enough people cared. Then as soon as Apollo 13 ran into problems suddenly people cared again.
By Apollo 17 it was even less interesting to the public. Normies have always been retards distracted by bread and circus and not interested in actual things that matter.
