This reminds me of the Saturn V. If I remember correctly, no one knows how it works anymore.

Lol, NASA literally left an instruction manual on how to go to space, and return safely. The contributions those folks have made over the years is related to just about everything you depend on these days.

People just choose to ignore the documentation, as there is less political mileage in throwing money into space these days. =3


NASA wastes billions and billions of dollars on space projects that will likely never fly. Rest assured, there’s still plenty of political mileage to be had from space money.


Is Artemis really that upsetting... =3


Honestly yes. Imagine the cool stuff we could have had if that money was put to good use.

This, I'm so sick of this "no one knows how x works anymore" when it comes to ancient technology. Aerospace engineering is a whole field, do people seriously think we've just forgotten how to get to space?
