I'm much more excited for those moons than for mars due to their liquid water! They believe that under Ganymede there is a massive liquid water ocean under its crust, and many others. -
They are RIGHT NOW on the way to the moon, they will reach it for a flyby tomorrow (April 6, 2026). In this mission they will do a lunar flyby with humans for the first time since the last Apollo mission, it has been about 53 years ever since. The most powerful rocket NASA has ever lunched in history, slightly more powerful than Apollo's mission Saturn V rockets, but much more reliable and safer. They had done this same mission without humans onboard in November 16, 2022. It uses the European Union Agency service module, which provides propulsion, electricity, thermal control, and life support essentials for NASA's Orion spacecraft. Orion is the whole vehicle: the crew module on top where the astronauts live, and the European Service Module underneath that powers and sustains it. Together they make Orion capable of flying humans beyond low Earth orbit, something no spacecraft has done since Apollo. This flyby mission is a big step before new missions that will actually land. Artemis II proves the rocket, the spacecraft, and the systems with humans onboard. Once they do a flyby around the Moon tomorrow, it will mark the return of humans to lunar space after more than half a century, opening the door for Artemis III to put boots back on the surface. This is the first time a women and a black person (that guy there) will reach lunar orbit, and it's the furthest that they ever went away from earth. - Main page (With live streams): https://www.nasa.gov/mission/artemis-ii/ - Watch their location in real-time: https://www.nasa.gov/missions/artemis-ii/arow/ - Best photos (gets updated): https://www.nasa.gov/gallery/journey-to-the-moon/

Maybe you're trying to actually learn, and they are using LLMs/AI to do their homework for them.

Let me give this example of making tens of millions with high certainty: Rarely nobody will get to be an institutional trader at the top firms unless you come from a top economics university and even there you have only a couple of chances of making it there. Luck is a multiplier of your effort. Some people obviously are so lucky they are literally born from an old money billionaire family, others are lucky enough to not have had a shitty childhood that fucked with their mental health or some other trauma through their lives that cripples them and turns them into homeless drug addicts. Not even mentioning genetics. Just overcoming by itself the hopelessness itself to get yourself going on some path that your brain is telling you that feels risky is very hard for most people, there is a lot of fried dopamine circuits to overcome and being able to handle dedicating yourself consistently towards money consciously, at the same time that you're struggling with your current survival already. But somethings WILL INDEED STACK THE CARDS IN YOUR FAVOR, but it's not a guarantee that you will make tens of millions within a decade. Like not being a consumerist slave, or having a good job to begin with that allows you to save and live below your means. That already is such a massive advantage. The feeling that it feels even easy/trivial to make a lot of money comes from the compounding effects of success, but also the feel of living being hard is equally true, the compounding effects of poverty. Some people naturally feel more confident. But some will use their confidence to get stuck chasing women and getting drunk, others might use it to pursue a doctor's degree and be wrecked by the routine, or perhaps have a small private practice that never truly makes enough money for them to have "no fucks given" money. Some people feel just fine going through some crazy work routines and they are perfectly confident and their dopamine circuits are not fried of trying to sooth themselves, and they are able to logically follow steps for months and years. That is something some people find hard because you have to let go of all of your personal interests and way of behaving when you're in that mental space of being at home and not doing school or work stuff, that mental space creeps in, as opposed to getting a job that you just show up to or even if the job requires a lot of brain power like programming. What if your personal inclinations are not aligned with anything that will make substantial money that will likely make you 10 million within a decade? Does even that "Diary of the CEO" guy have enough money to live his lifestyle without having to sell out like a whore to grifters? What is success here really? Also there are plenty of those blabber mouths out there that you can listen to them for hours, and they tell you all of those platitudes and mindset things that Leo Gura has already covered a decade ago, meanwhile they give no actual analysis of what are the actual next steps you should be taking. That channel specifically has just sometimes some good guests. Most people are not gonna benefit from listening to a literal CEO interview of a 100M company, we need to listen to a guy making 5-10k range talking about the specifics of what he does. I'm pretty sure a lot of very rich and "successful" people out there they have been since young educated and developed the kind of personality that they have no concerns for anything but their career and business, and they do it in a way that isn't trying to be too out of the box otherwise that also cripples you as the wannabe entrepreneur that spends time on passion projects here and there, but also not too strict, otherwise they become a bureaucrat that inflates his lifestyle to live pay check to pay check and never building wealth to dedicate himself to any other pursuits, or perhaps, to him, life is literally all about the bureaucracy and they don't even want to build anything that will give them a multi-million dollar exit to live from, or a business that is more low touch, because their consumerist golden cage is good enough to them, to live in some overpriced cramped up apartment in New York or something. Or coming back to the programmer example, he/she might not have still the emotional and organizational skills to pull off certain things business-wise because it's emotionally ingrained into you and even the knowledge you have of the world, and their mind is about having high discipline and being in the mental space of programming a specific set of specifications and knowing how to prioritize based on what the stakeholders want, but they wouldn't take the risk themselves to try to find that market fit because they might be already struggling with survival and feeling too overwhelmed to even use their coding skills for any kind of business of their own, because they know they are just highly specialized. And then, when people do pull off, they might put themselves in a situation they work many times as hard as if they stayed employed but earning roughly the same and not really building equity or saving enough money to have "no fucks given" money, like the book below speaks about. Business is a fucking minefield as much as dating, health and spirituality. "The E-Myth Revisited: Why Most Small Businesses Don't Work and What to Do About It" by Michael E. Gerber

This is a question that I've struggled a lot with too that kept me from taking action in the market, this feeling of not wanting to be unethical. I think you just have to see how others do it in practice, and see how far you wanna take milking your customers. It happens mostly through seizing the information advantage you have over their ignorance and nobody ever thinks that's unethical in general unless they are doing an extremely conscious analysis of human survival at large. The problem with marketing is that you might end up having to promise results that are not typical, but with cleaver rapport you can get around this. I think the ethical stance is one that you teach your customers of the risks at the same time you hype them up. Unethical marketers will try to sell dirt to people and hype them up to even get in debt to buy their bullshit course that they know most people, specially in that situation, won't ever make a penny from it for example. There are some kinds of marketing and products that are so bad they are straight up scams such as casinos, but somehow that shit is legal in many jurisdictions and SOME PEOPLE DECIDE TO BE SCAMMED BY A CASINO WILLINGLY. As a casino owner would you try to educate your customers of the mathematics that makes it impossible for them to make money overtime? No, you end up focusing on "it's for fun!", "Oh, see some players give good reviews that they got money!". They are literally ignorant of the negative mathematical expectation of the probabilities built into the casino's algorithm and they are incapable emotionally of even being taught of the realities of the market. My point is, some clients are so lost, that you can't even help them make a good decision for themselves no matter how you try, and the market doesn't find it unethical at all when your customer willingly makes bad decisions even though you tried to warn them. I think my ethical rule of thumb is: What would I do for a friend?

They made a timeline website of all the photos of the mission (I'm not sure if it's actually all of them). https://artemistimeline.com/#only-one-chance-in-this-lifetime This one here is from where I found the original high resolution images (official nasa flicker account): https://www.flickr.com/photos/nasa2explore/albums/72177720307234654/with/55212398219 There is this other one: https://www.nasa.gov/artemis-ii-multimedia/ -

I would go to the moon. The moon is doable in terms of human health and tech reliability. But not anywhere else on the solar system, at least for now, unless they get the tech reliable and they solve cosmic radiation shielding. Mars or other celestial bodies such as Venus are a whole different beast of endurance. For a 9 day trip like they did the radiation dose is about 12 mSv, 3 full-body CT medical scans roughly, but not exactly, because those rays are more energetic. I would NOT go to mars. 6 months of travel time, 2 year of round trip due to the alignment. A thousand times more cosmic radiation exposure due to the amount of time (nobody experienced this before), not even in the International Space Station or the moon trips (which was never over 12 days). There is a theorized disease called "Cosmic Alzheimer" that those extremely energetic cosmic rays overtime would destroy the brain of anybody spending too much time away from earth's magnetosphere during the travel in deep space. The moon is very close, once they get there for long-term habitats they can build a shield of 5 meters of dirt and they will be fine, but the travel to to mars it's too expensive to get that much shielding. If something goes wrong they are fucked harder than someone stuck in Antartica during the winter, at least you don't suffocate to death and get bombarded by cosmic rays for months. But so far there are people living in the International Space Station for decades, and it seems like they figured out well the life support systems, but there is always the safety of leaving anytime they want. -

Yeah! They are back and alive! I was concerned that they could have died, I believe it was the most dangerous part of the mission the re-entry. Their top speed at re-entry was of over 25,000 Mph (40,233.6 km/h), likely only losing to Apollo by a rouding error, one of the fastest crewed vehicle within our atmosphere in history. Their heatshield had to withstand temperatures of over 2,760°C (5,000°F) -

Frankly, it's to have skin in the game the overall philosophy of humans in space for its own sake, as opposed to just robotics that we have been mastering already with satellite technology and rovers. But practically, robots CANNOT do the same work humans can, we are much more agile and flexible than robotics even for just scientific work. For example, operating the Martian rovers is painfully slow due to the speed of light. The goal is eventually building a scientific and industrial base on the moon which will work as a stepping stone for other human missions across the solar system, for example a refueling station, eventually manufacturing so it cheapens even further space exploration due to the low gravity of earth making lunching from there cheaper, and short distance from earth (in this mission took it 6 days to arrive there). There are valuable resources on the lunar soil that are not found on earth in abundance such as Helium-3 that is useful for fussion energy reactors. But frankly, most likely space resources will only be useful to humans in space, because of the gravitational cost of lunching and landing on our planet. Currently this mission was to test the entire transport and survivability setup of humans onboard with modern technology. NASA actually lost a lot of their know-how from the Apollo lunar missions, but it was also dangerous as heck for today's standards it wouldn't be acceptable. This exact same path and setup was already tested in 2022 successfully but unmanned, so it wasn't just blind risk. We spend billions per year in scientific and engineering research already for all kinds of things such as the International Space Station orbiting earth for almost over 27 years now, or subaquatic exploration, Artic/Antarctic region research outposts, etc. It's just the natural consequence of the availability of the technology that it will be used by our human curiosity and greed for achievement and as a consequence a lot of important great scientific and engineering problems are solved. Just like the military did drive human technological development, the scientific and extreme environment exploration drives mankind in a peaceful manner. We are still risking our lives, but not to be killed and die in a war. Those astronauts up there, most of this crew were fighter jet pilots. They are already used to taking risks onboard aircrafts/vessels as their livelihood. -

😂 Was that real? I saw a snippet, but I don't remember seeing in the official live streams I saw, I missed it then. I know they did bring Maple Syrup, and they said they ate some Maple Syrup cookies outside of schedule just after they did sneak behind the moon to hide out from us. 😜 Maybe they also gorged on that Nutella back there. -

This forum has an extremely doomer and cynical mood about mankind. To quote the astronaut Victor Glover 6 minutes before losing signal and being disconnected from the rest of mankind: -
Lucasxp64 replied to Lucasxp64's topic in Society, Politics, Government, Environment, Current Events
😂 Yes. Fuck. Those guys managed to go the the moon but can't fix their toilet. They couldn't shit for a couple of days now into the mission, and a couple of hours ago they can't piss anymore, so they need to use bags now. At least they have a private toilet to do it in. So far it seems like no critical system has failed, other than an hydrogen tank that went slightly out of nominal values so they decided to cut it off from their system, but it wasn't necessary anymore anyways to the mission at this point because they already have their systems primed. -

We are gonna lose signal with them anytime now. -
Lucasxp64 replied to Lucasxp64's topic in Society, Politics, Government, Environment, Current Events
They will. But it's more of a test mission to make sure we can make the travel safely. We already did this same mission in 2022 but fully unmanned. NASA likes to take its time those days to make things safe. They have plans for new missions that will land on their timeline before 2030. Any time now within a minute they are breaking officially the record of the furthest humans have ever gone. -

I'm completely baffled that very few people in this forum are talking about it, excluding another one 4 days ago. When it comes to recent news, most are still just posting war and trump shenanigans. This is a mission of historical proportions of the future of mankind in space, at least the technical feasibility of using modern day safety standard for moon missions with humans onboard. The Apollo missions were brutal, they were barely surviving. -

But for anyone reading this: Don't be mistaken. That that guy is a religious zealot and belittles people (and with bad arguments), and full of right wing rhetoric mixed with what was supposed to be math content. He gave in fully to his ego. Like he was making a critic about another math YouTuber and his arguments are so weird, literally the mind of a Victorian-era person, including the snark references that are literally imperialist. Rarely anyone ever uses blatantly obvious imperialist rhetoric, too antiquated even for today's right wingers/conservatives. I just found funny/interesting his mannerisms, it's this quintessential hyper-formal cartoonish Victorian-era style.
