When Scott Manley says it's dumb, it settles the matter. Poor VIPER šµ

Going to the toilet have always been an opportunity to relax a little, get away from a boring job, check the news etc, perhaps send a few messages, but with such a stillsuit this will soon be history, we must do our business at the desk, still working, only now with a tank in the suit filled with warm liquid splashing around when you go to lunch
-
Small transistors out of spec, big consequences. So delays for Europa Clipper, unfortunately.
-
Dammit why..
-
ATTEMPT NO LANDING THERE
-
Omfg thats like a major anomaly not sending the rover š¤ hmm
-
Great update information, Frasier, but those little otters were the real stars!
-
Angry has a great point that it would be far better to auction off the resources aboard ISS and keep in orbit. This would help develop salvage capabilities in LEO, as well as make all the resources and equipment that still has a lifespan available to other projects in space. The only cost to tax payers is keeping ISS in a stable orbit.
-
If the fish and otters don't get in on the vote, I'm going to be disappointed!
-
Stillsuits process the faeces, too.
-
Not really part of your show but related to the collection of water from urine. The state of our spacesuits is disgraceful. We still use the suits from like 50 years ago. WTF! How much could it cost to develop modern suits? A few hundred million? Big frigging deal! And one of the companies who was supposed to develop a new suit has pulled out. Hard to believe.
-
I just wish they would design these probes with a "kick stage" that can put it in a direct transfer to, in this case, Jupiter. It's stupid that we have to wait half a decade or even a decade to get there. And yes, it is possible. New Horizons passed by Jupiter just over a year after launch. Now, slowing down also takes delta V and adds mass and time, but it is fully possible.
-
No!!!
-
I read Dune 30 years back I think.
-
With the VIPER rover being cancelled we can only hope that the simulator Provides astronauts with a convincing ride. š
-
This new moon endeavor by Nasa is weird. It started as a sequoia, but by the end of the decade we'll have perhaps a bonsai
-
Pretty sure SpaceX already said they think they know what happened...Also FAA is likely to approve a return to flight for non manned Falcon flights very soon....And given NASA just asked SpaceX to come up with an ISS Dragon rescue plan it's a good bet it won't be long before Falcon is cleared for a return to human flight too. When it comes down to it SpaceX has fired raptor engines over 3,300 times in those 300+ flights with very few failures.
-
God damn it, I knew it be delayed, but I guess its better been broken here than Jupiter
-
NASA what the actual efff! a mass sim when everything built???? ARE YOU HAVING A LAUGH NASA!!!
-
testing 1, 2, 3.
