Lovely Peeps! Your cool #history for the day! 🚀 (You might want to watch with sound off. The music has words & I found it difficult to hear the music, read the text, AND focus on the signing.) If you want to just enjoy the signing, the full text is within this post. 😊 "Everyone’s talking about Artemis II. The first humans to travel to the moon in 50 years. Historic mission. But nobody’s talking about the #Deaf men who made it possible. In the late 1950s, #NASA had a problem. They needed to understand what weightlessness does to the human body. But every test subject kept getting violently motion sick. So they came to #Gallaudet. Eleven Deaf men. Most of them had lost their hearing to spinal meningitis as children, which also damaged their vestibular system. Their inner ears couldn’t be overwhelmed. They were immune to motion sickness. NASA put them in centrifuges. Zero-gravity flights. A rotating room for twelve straight days. One experiment on a ferry in choppy Nova Scotia waters. The researchers got so seasick they had to cancel it. The Gallaudet Eleven? They were playing cards. Their bodies gave NASA the data it needed to send humans into space. No #Gallaudet_Eleven — no Mercury. No Mercury — no Apollo. No Apollo — no Artemis II. Sixty years later, four astronauts just flew 252,000 miles from Earth & came home safely. They stood on the shoulders of eleven Deaf men most people have never heard of. Now you know!" #Artemis2 #ASL #History #TIL #Nyle_di_Marco

@thanetric@mastodonapp.uk But so to would Artemis 2. In the reference frame of the Solar system's barycentre, Ted and #Artemis2, whilst not co-moving, have similar paths now that they are both on Terra. We'd need to pick a reference frame closer to home, where Artemis 2 is now stationary and Ted continues to move. WGS-84 is the obvious choice, I think. I suspect Ted is already being measured in it. I *definitely* wouldn't pick one with a billionaire as the origin point. The billionaire hopping onto a private (or even public) jet would make it seem like Artemis 2 was moving once again. Aside from complicating what is already a non-inertial frame, this seems like cheating to keep raising Artemis 2's total. (-: Artemis 2 does get legitimate credit for a few thousand extra km, though, because the service module took its own path around the globe after separation from the crew module. @GetCarter@mastodonapp.uk #astronomy #physics #GNSS #GPS

I don’t like to share Substack articles, for, well reasons. But this is a great one and really encapsulates what I’ve been feeling for the entire #Artemis2 #ArtemisII experience. The whole time from launch to splashdown I’ve been feeling pretty emotional about it and I really couldn’t understand why. The just general awe and inspiration I’ve felt from the crew. The sense of wonder and exploration that I’ve not felt since I was a kid. It made me feel insignificant in all the right ways, not in the way that I don’t matter, but in reminding me that the scope of my problems can feel huge and be simultaneously nothing in the grand scheme of things. I didn’t know I needed this mission, but I am coming out of it a better person because of that crew. To sum the article up, this statement resonated with me the most but I highly recommend reading the entire thing. the feeling of watching something go right and realizing, somewhere deep in your body, that you had forgotten things could go right. Because when something actually goes right, when the people in charge do their jobs well, speak in full sentences, make decisions that protect people instead of endangering them, the reaction can feel strangely emotional https://lizplank.substack.com/p/artemis-ii-is-competency-porn-and #Space #NASA

Capsule is on full shutdown, doing gas safety checks. Still waiting for the "front porch" inflatable. #artemis #artemis2 #nasa

nobody mentioned bedazzling the outside of the hull guess that's what they got up to on the far side #artemis #artemis2 #nasa
