 @Nick_Stevens_graphics To spin already Australian quotage... #Australia at the rest of the world: That's not a thing that'll kill you. The Chang’e 6 spacecraft stack, with the lander and orbiter prominently visible. Image: CNSA @Nick_Stevens_graphics A friend pointed me at this... https://mechanical-engineering.gsfc.nasa.gov/files/GSFC-X-673-64-1F.pdf An old NASA manual on standards for engineering drawings.  Still one of the most amazing space exploration success of all times. Landing a probe in the hellish condition of the Venusian surface, and having it survive is still mind-blowing. Excellent in depth and downright scary article on the Titan submersible. "An accident waiting to happen"

 @Nick_Stevens_graphics It’s ultimately a story of world class hubris that resulted in 5 people getting killed becuase of an arrogant asshole and the people who enabled him. @Nick_Stevens_graphics it's sad to see how some people view 'break things' as the only possible way of innovating, and 'disruption' as the only way of being successful. There are other ways of doing either. Sure, they may be slower and probably won't get you the big headlines, but not everyone craves a headline about how their hubris got them killed. I really like the style of Chinese mission patches, and I'm sure I'm not the only one... Several have asked about the clarity of the air at the surface of Venus. It's really not that bad. here's an article that will help. https://universemagazine.com/en/the-last-photos-from-the-surface-of-venus-are-forty-years-old/ Did you catch yesterday's new Soviet #Space Substack? Read it online, or sign up: With information on Sputnik 2, N-1 relics and more! On March 17, 1988, the first Indian Earth remote sensing satellite IRS-1A was launched from Baikonur using the Soviet Vostok-2M launch vehicle. Note the unusual orange triangles/stripes on the boosters! Photos via the RGANTD archive. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v_suy7gARps "2001: A Space Odyssey" directed by George Lucas? This literally had me laugh out loud... Soviet Space Art. Climbing down from what looks to be an exceptionally tall Moon Rocket. |
