Hey NASA, if you ever decide to launch me into space, I’ve got a few requests. When I get back to Earth, please don’t pick me up in an inflatable, then tie a rope to me and swing me around the Pacific to a helicopter. I know the budget is there, so why not have a small yacht pick me up? I’d even take a Carnival Cruise over an inflatable.
I wouldn’t be thrilled if I stepped out onto Carnival Cruise, but it’s better than an inflatable.
I’m just saying, there’ll be a discussion back at the office first thing Monday morning.
lol 😂

First deplete the Earth; next the Moon; Mars a never dream. Why is it so important to create a permanent station on the Moon? Meanwhile, congratulations to the four courageous astronauts and all the teams who made this happen, I hope for scientific knowledge, not to plunder Moon resources.

Just look at that thing and the videos supposedly from within. There’s no way 4 people, all that gear were doing all that in that thing. No way would that not tumble through re entry. At speeds claimed no human could withstand that.

The woman on this crew is in fact Sharon Christa McAuliffe, the teacher from the Challenger shuttle. Wow, right in your faces. It easier to fool people than to convince them they’ve been fooled.

The entire video is an AI simulation. Who would believe this? The green in space is gloomy, the images are blurry, and even on Earth’s surface they don’t have a camera with real, clear images.

The US Navy helicopter has the capacity to lift a tank. Why not lift the capsule to a ship or aircraft carrier with everyone inside, and then safely open the capsule with all the astronauts inside at the same time, instead of risking sinking the capsule with the astronauts inside, as has happened in the past ?
