HERE'S WHY THE ARTEMIS 1 LAUNCH WAS SCRUBBED MONDAY NASA contracted Rockwell to build the orbiters for the space shuttle program. James Myers, a retired space shuttle engineer for Rockwell and Aerojet Rocketdyne, called it a 'nightmare,' spending two years putting the tiles back on the orbiter. STS-1’s original launch date was targeted for November 1979, but it didn't launch for another two years, according to .īefore launching, the orbiter Columbia spent 610 days in the Orbiter Processing Facility, where teams replaced heat shield tiles. That’s why NASA is conducting the Artemis 1 test flight without astronauts before flying a crew, possibly next year. NASA’s new human spacecraft Orion can fly autonomously. STS-1 was the first time NASA launched a new spacecraft on its maiden voyage with a crew onboard.

Challenges for inaugural flights of space shuttle and SLS The program’s approval happened while astronaut John Young was walking on the moon during Apollo 16 in 1972. Less than a decade after Saturn V’s last mission, NASA began launching a new reusable vehicle under the Space Shuttle Program. In fact, I demand it! NASA, I await your call.The three Space Shuttle engines of Columbia firing up on Apon STS-1, the inaugural flight of the space shuttle. I'll give them, say, eight more flights, but then I want the Shuttle Transport System shut down for once and for all. Now, realistically, they cannot simply turn off the whole program. We cannot let this type of trickery stand. I am demanding NASA shut down the Shuttle program. And this one is CLEARLY faked! My course of action is clear. Not a word as to WHY NASA WOULD HAVE FAKED THIS IMAGE! Our tax dollars paid for this picture! Hundreds of billions of dollars of American citizens' money has been sent to NASA, and really what do we have to show for it? NASA's promises, and a bunch of pictures. During STS-101 Atlantis will fly as the most updated shuttle ever, with more than 100 new modifications incorporated during a ten-month period in 1998 at Boeing's Palmdale, Ca., Shuttle factory. The new cockpit is expected to be installed on all shuttles in the NASA fleet by 2002, and it sets the stage for the next cockpit improvement planned to fly by 2005: a 'smart cockpit' that reduces the pilot's workload during critical periods. The new 'glass cockpit' is 75 pounds lighter and uses less power than before, and its color displays provide easier pilot recognition of key functions. JSC2000-E-10522 (March 2000) - Eleven new full-color, flat-panel display screens in the Shuttle cockpit replace 32 gauges and electromechanical displays and four cathode-ray tube displays. but here is the complete caption on the NASA page for this image. It would give some innocent reason why NASA would add stars to a photograph. A paradigm shift this big could rate a NOBEL! Maybe this was just a mistake, and the caption of the picture would say something about it. If I was really breaking new ground here like Galileo or Einstein did, then I had to be careful.

Was this mission faked in some way? Was the whole Shuttle project faked? Does NASA even exist?Īt this point, I wondered if maybe I was making too much of this. There's only one explanation: Someone at NASA faked the photo!!! They added in stars later, for what nefarious purposes only the Top Brass at NASA must know. Even the Moon would look dull and dim if the Earth were exposed correctly. The Earth is THOUSANDS of times brighter than the stars. Third, and worst, the Earth hangs fat and bright right smack dab in the center of the viewports! The bright Earth could not possibly be exposed correctly and have the photo still show stars in the windows. Why? Because otherwise the reflections block the view. Whenever you see astronauts taking pictures out the windows, they are always RIGHT UP next to the windows, not a few feet away. Second, those interior lights would reflect inside those windows, again drowning out any outside sources.
