Are we sure that's water in Reid's bottle? :lol:
Victor Glover needs to be our generation's Neil Armstrong.

How did he make it about himself? “His friends” are the astronauts. Getting to see them means they are alive. It’s just another way to say that the astronauts made it home safe.
Brain fart...didn't even think "friends" meant the astronauts.

Speaking of them... They're about to start the PC in Houston.

What did he say?
Everyone else said the launch or different points of the return through our atmosphere (ex. When they saw the chutes...when they got 4 greens from the 4... when they saw them getting picked up). Amit say they're and said it was easy to pick one, getting to see his friends tomorrow. Everyone the past 10 days has been about the nixon and what it means. He made it about himself. It was jarring to see and the moderator quickly took another question.

The other jarring moment was whoever answered a question about Jenni and Andre getting an assignment to a future Artemis mission (per Apollo precedent). They said they trained just like the other 4 for this mission and NASA considers them to be a part of the A2 crew. Obviously Jenni's assignment would primarily be controlled by CSA. Most assume Andre and Jessica Meir will walk on the moon. (I really hope they aren't laying the groundwork to screw Andre.) And honestly, Andre probably should've had this mission and Victor the moon landing.
So yeah....Amit just confirmed my initial opinion of him with the answer to favorite part of the mission. What a pompous arse. If that's truly what it is, get the hell out of NASA.

The Artemis ll mission manager played baseball at State. Matthew Ramsey.
I knew I recognized that name...

The cadence answer could have been from 45 years ago. I really hope NASA doesn't lose institutional history and develop a perpetual "go fever" again.
Yep, flipped over. Have they said when the crew PC back at JSC will be?
Wow.... and that's it for the 24/7 feed. Just Front Pitch Guy giving an underwhelming sign off.

That explains it. A Columbian woman was running it.
FIFY
Yeah....shocking.

Hire a new recovery director.
Damn I figured Hansen would need the chair since it's his first time.
What would be the justification to spend that money for your viewing pleasure? Would you rather that than an extra few minutes on the moon?
quote:

Because the bottleneck is bandwidth. NASA is recording very very high quality video and pictures. They just aren’t live-streaming 6 cameras at 4k
I'll just add that they had a PAO get interrupted because the setup overheated. Everything is a tradeoff and I think we'll appreciate it more as the raw footage comes out.
I highly doubt the scheduled 9:30 PC is going to be on time. :lol:
You've got to think this will be addressed before A4. If they can't do it, step aside and let the SpaceX recovery team do it.
We might go back to the moon again before they get these heroes out of the water.

At this point I’d wouldn’t be surprised if those orange floatation balls start turning blue.
