NASA’s Artemis II Crew Eclipses Record for Farthest Human Spaceflight (thank you Elon Musk for making this happen by shaking up NASA with stiff competition)​

Four astronauts aboard NASA’s Artemis II test flight around the Moon made history at 12:56 p.m. CDT on Monday, traveling 248,655 miles from Earth, surpassing the record for human spaceflight’s farthest distance previously set by the Apollo 13 mission in 1970. At its farthest point, crew inside the Orion spacecraft will have traveled about 252,756 miles, before looping back toward our home planet, setting the new record for human spaceflight.

Following their record achievement, crew provided brief, emotional remarks. The world heard from CSA (Canadian Space Agency) astronaut Jeremy Hansen aboard Orion:

“From the cabin of Integrity here, as we surpass the furthest distance humans have ever traveled from planet Earth, we do so in honoring the extraordinary efforts and feats of our predecessors in human space exploration. We will continue our journey even further into space before Mother Earth succeeds in pulling us back to everything that we hold dear. But we most importantly choose this moment to challenge this generation and the next to make sure this record is not long-lived.”

***Editors Note: In a real treat for the astronauts that likely exceeded anything they’ve experienced in their entire careers, they were allowed to speak directly to none other than the 45th and 47th President of the United States - Donald J. Trump.

2 Points:

1. Elon NEVER gets cucked. HE does the cucking.
2. Artemis II owes a HUGE sense of gratitude to Elon for changing the staid old rocket launching aerospace industry and filling it with a can-do spirit that was seriously lacking before his timely entrance.

You're right, that's why it's HIS rocket that went to the Moo—

oh wait

I don't know how you're able to willingly and carefully craft that huge pile of shit of an argument

Technically speaking, the major rocket stages did not go to the moon. BUT, Elon was with the crew in spirit because they know that it was his SpaceX that lit a fire under NASA’s arse and motivated them to finally do SOMETHING!

No truer words have ever been spoken

Weak copycats. Nothing tops the original:

Blah Blah blah blah…

A much more important event is detailed in our next story:

FCC Set To Vote on Easing Satellite Power Rules, Boosting SpaceX's Starlink​

The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) announced Wednesday it will vote on an order to revamp satellite spectrum-sharing rules that would benefit low-Earth orbit broadband providers - and SpaceX stands to gain the most.

“By discarding last century’s satellite regulations, we could see billions of dollars in benefits for the American economy and broadband speeds many times faster than what is available today,” FCC Chairman Brendan Carr said in a statement.

The proposed order would raise the power levels that low-earth orbit (LEO) operators are permitted to use in frequency bands shared with incumbent geostationary orbit systems. For SpaceX, whose Starlink network already spans more than 10,000 satellites, the change would mean substantially faster and more reliable service.

As of March, Starlink’s constellation comprised more than 10,020 satellites in low Earth orbit, accounting for roughly 65 percent of all active satellites worldwide, with more than 10 million subscribers reported as of February.
