We better get a copy of the project so NASA won’t lose the technology like they did with the apolo 11

It’s been a while since TED is just another tool to the propaganda machine.
Aren’t you people sick of the pushing of this lame narrative?

The engineers at NASA are the GOATs of Earth!!
Great marketing on demonstrating to the world how NASA will always be there to help us in our most challenging times 🙂

I heard the ventilators were actually killing the covid patients from multiple MD. Some sort of relation to high altitude sickness and the machines exacerbating the condition. If this is true, no celebrations are due here. In fact 37 days would be a very high turn around for NASA…historically speaking. How long did the Apollo air filter take? 😄

The Dutch media, various youtubers, twitchers, and the dutch police are trying to drive me to suicide. They have hacked my phone, laptop, and computer and are echoing whatever I do over the internet. I want my privacy back so I’ll keep spamming until I die or they release me. They have been stalking me for over 3 years now.

How did it take them so long? A group of F1 teams went from startup to first ventilator produced in 100 hours.

Congrats. I’ve been around Nasa, sometimes designing electronics for some of their projects, and I’ve always been very happy to work with the various teams. I loved going to the facilities, and learning of some of their very exciting programs. Yes, it may receive government funding, etc… but (no offense to some government employees) – Nasa still thinks forward. They are even cool with outsourcing space projects – so yeah, I’ve always loved the people there and their diverse interests.

Haha, how a propaganda machine that is NASA, invented something for a virus so serious, one needs a test to know whether or not they have it. By the way, easy to use, less parts which are easy obtainable, isn’t revolutionary. The same people taking vaccines, are the same people believing they’ve landed a rover on a conceptual rock millions of miles away. The irony begins when I start getting replies about how dumb I am. Please try not to let this trigger you, one day you too may get the chance to fly to distant rocks.

JPL can show 4K video from Mars but can’t provide a quality video for TED? 😜
