It's carrying a robotic dog. Its supposed to help with astronaut morale and mental stability.

Sounds like it could be trouble if there's a mentally unstable pill-head on a future mission.

But for serious, I'm hoping to be significantly involved with manufacture of the fabrics for flame retardant shirts and pants for Astronauts for high-oxygen environments during manned Artemis missions. I too want to make something that goes to the moon! No repeats of Apollo 1, please.

So far NASA has been very slow to work with.

I sincerely doubt that

11/20/2022 11:11:28 AM

NASA is the new Tesla. Overpromise and don't deliver. Trust that people will have forgotten your previously-stated timelines.

11/20/2022 11:14:02 AM

Not that there’s anything wrong with that

What center are you working with? If it is JSC, that explains a lot.

11/28/2022 2:59:31 PM

I don't really understand the organizational structure. I think it's JSC by way of Jacobs Engineering JETS Contract. I've had several interactions with people from different units, I guess. They all have @nasa.gov email addresses, but it's sort of like they all work for different companies.

I refuse to believe the Coz has a real job

11/28/2022 9:36:54 PM

He doesn’t work for money, money works for him.

Not that there’s anything wrong with that.

Its def not MSFC if it is under the JETS contract, so I can at least wipe my hands clean of your grievances.

11/29/2022 11:18:47 AM

It's less of a grievance and more of an observation (with some surprise, given the publicly communicated timelines for manned missions), but in any case I'm glad you are in the clear!

11/29/2022 12:13:26 PM

Those publicly stated timelines make me laugh

11/29/2022 3:47:11 PM

We have their timelines documented in this thread.

Mostly for selfish NC State bragpoint reasons, I simply want Christina Koch to be first woman on the moon and safely make it back.

11/30/2022 2:39:02 PM

^Would be awesome. We'd probably have a statue of her on campus. EBIII (current aerospace building) would prob be renamed after her.

11/30/2022 4:43:33 PM

Sorry, marko, but that honor already belongs to Soviet cosmonaut Anastasia Belikova whose look beckons us into the cosmos.

11/30/2022 6:17:19 PM

I'm honestly surprised State hasn't named anything after her yet

11/30/2022 8:15:18 PM

Is she the first astronaut that has graduated from NCSU?

12/1/2022 10:19:50 AM

As far as I know, yes.

12/1/2022 3:18:15 PM

Monument now has bbehe approval. Get it done, folks who do things!

12/2/2022 7:27:35 PM

Oh, we back (from the moon)!

12/11/2022 1:12:06 PM

Picture perfect mission (aside from delays) from launch to splashdown!

12/14/2022 11:30:53 AM

GG, NASA!

12/14/2022 11:52:36 AM

But Helios did it better, BTW.

12/14/2022 6:15:44 PM

Except for the part when their junky destroyed a robot dog and killed a bunch of people. Entertainment section leaking into The Lounge!

12/15/2022 1:01:34 PM

Yeah, but they killed a bunch of people in style. I'm intentionally blurring the lines and attempting to confuse the people who don't share my entertainment preferences.
