not unexpected, but a bummer

      for sure, don’t want to see any cuts there. But the number of unknowns still strikes me as too high

    Agency still needs to figure out astronaut fashion

    The auto-read subtitle is weird. They must have scrubbed it from the article, which makes sense as nothing about it indicates anything in regards to fashion, they just still also have improvements with the spacesuits to go through, which isn’t unexpected as the procurement is new to NASA (I suspect previous ones were designed fully in-house).

    Ther is no mention of the lander. Isn’t it supposed to be a version of that thing that SpaceX still has in the “Explodes 100% of the times going up, never mind coming back, and forget about landing” stage?

      Hating on the muskman is great. But being so stupid not realising why SpaceX launches vehicles they know gonna explode just makes you the biggest dork on the instance.

      SpaceX launches and lands shit every week. Its such a routine it doesn’t hit the news. Signalling SpaceX is a failure because of their experimental flights succeed in gathering knowledge while they explode is such a stupid take. I see it way too much here.
