      I just want to live to see if there are weird fish on Europa. But we attempt no landings there.

      Astronauts jobs are the first ones that should be automated. I blame the Moon for this—it is just close enough to be kind of reachable, and so human space flight derailed what would by now be a flourishing program of autonomous exploration of the entire Solar System by probes

      The US space program is like NASCAR with better helmets. You go real fast in a loop 200 times and then wrap yourself in the flag.

      There's something oddly of the moment, too, about feeling proud of getting back to where we were some 60 years ago. We can now fire guys into low earth orbit again! But not all of them, yet.

      The cost of the modest manned program we're pursuing now would pay for about seven New Horizons missions, is why I'm griping. Seeing Pluto up close is way cooler than sending another tang-drinker to our great trailer park in the sky.

      Getting some pushback that our 2020 capsule is way better because it has the metaphorical equivalent of cupholders and good lumbar support, unlike that dangerous racecar from the 60's. But that just makes it more lame. It's a dad space program now.

      I wrote a thing 15 years ago about our dumb space program, and it's only gotten dumber since. I guess it's time for an update. https://idlewords.com/2005/08/a_rocket_to_nowhere.htm …pic.twitter.com/JyXefVTf0U

      A lot of the coolest stuff in the Solar System is around Jupiter, in a radiation environment that would cook people alive. Even if we spent the planetary GDP on rockets, astronauts could never go there. Real space exploration necessarily means robot probes—the kind we build well!

      The most hospitable off-Earth environment for human beings is not on Mars, but Venus. You can float along high in the Venusian atmosphere at a comfy temperature and normal pressure, as long as you don't open the window (because of the hurricanes of acid) https://sacd.larc.nasa.gov/smab/havoc/

      The fact that they gave the capsule a touchscreen adds all the more dad energy. Vision blurring due to excess G forces? Why, simply raise your arm and drag the slider on the MuskBar to reduce thrust! But be careful not to tap the volume slider, because Journey is about to come onpic.twitter.com/OxSFVU3s4X

          Touchscreen-compatible gloves. Which is a fancy way of saying "conductive thread in the fingertips".

          This is nuts, the exact opposite of the previously reduced wisdom in rocket control design - build simple, bullet proof, solid state. The last thing you want to see when stuck in space is a software error. And the idea you can simply tap the screen at mach 3 during launch 😂😂

          Crew Dragon launch and reentry are pretty much automated, and the few controls you'd want to operate in that environment have physical backups. The touch screen controls are for orbital maneuvering, particularly docking, which is at very low accelerations over tens of minutes.

          i don't see any controls on the touchscreens (help me out if im wrong). looks informational only. if it really does have inputs, that makes it even worse though.

          Does it seem odd to anyone else that one set of displays shows 13:46:14 but the other shows 13:46:15? Clock sync between workstations seems too obvious for them to have overlooked...
