Debris strikes Space Shuttle... (https://chiefsplanet.com/BB/showthread.php?t=210403)

It's 2009; where the **** is my Hover Craft/RocketMobile?!

Oh, that's right; that money went to fund greater consolidation through advanced satellite-tracking technology and deployment!

Thanks NASA! Thanks, you over-bloated sonofabitch!

I'm aware that space is dangerous.

I'm also aware they've been doing this shit for very long time. Yet the same problems keep popping up over and over and over. It's unsatisfactory.

I guess our space program is not up to Fraz's standards yet, we should be way better, you know like.. ????

Frikkin idiots at NASA!

How did the space shuttle get radioactive, fuqtard?

You're the perfect example of scientific education in the 21st century...

I think it got radioactive from the Van Halen belt, Mr. mikey23545. That is where the radio waves come from and when the space shuttle flies in there, it picks up those radio waves and gets some radioactive on itself. That's where it got it.

Now that is just too friggin' cool.

Rep for you.

You know...there really isn't <i>that</i> much for me to do at the shop today...

I mean, when it comes to blowing sh*t up, nobody is even in NASA'S league. By my count, so far, they have blown up sh*t on at least 4 planets and a moon. And that's not counting any secret missions or the military ones. Nobody's better. Not the Ruskies, not Red Adair, not anybody.

Still, I hope they've figured out a way to launch rescue missions in a reasonable amount of time. Mr. Donger, you said earlier that the launch window on this mission was 5 minutes or something? Was that weather related? Do you know whether or not there are any restrictions (other than the obvious availability of equipment and personnel) on launching rescue missions?

FAX

No, the limited launch window was not weather related. Since this mission is to the ISS, it has to be caught in orbit (obviously) and there are some very specific time windows that allow an efficient launch, chase and docking.

Seriously, why all the NASA hate?

They actually borrowed that line from Alan Shepard.

IIRC the "tile repair kit" is basically a patch plate and a molly bolt, with some glue and foam and stuff. Just enough to get them back to earth... but I'm pretty sure it can only be used on a flat-surface hole. If they get hit on the wing edge like they did with Columbia, they're f**ked.

Reiterating what's been said here: launching space vehicles isn't easy. It's complicated physics coupled with complicated machinery. Don't you think, if they had a safer, better, and more economical way to do it, they'd be doing it? In order to lug up giant payloads, they needed a bird with a big hangar, and thus they could no longer just shove stuff on the tip of a rocket where it was safe from debris.

This thread makes me wanna go watch "The Right Stuff" again...

BTW, Orion 15 is scheduled to land on the Moon in June 2019.

So I guess if these astronauts die on the way back to earth because they STILL can't figure out how to fix these tiles, you won't have a problem with it, right?

Go **** yourself.
