I was thinking outside; external module. Apollo could "store" external modules for launch in the fairing, then dock with them in space (ie, moon lander/moon ascent). That's enormously complex of course though.

Watch his recent NJ speech for a couple of minutes.

I would, but that's a couple minutes more than I can stand. Given that I don't want to stab my eardrums with an icepick, I'm going to trust you on this one.

Yes, but Gemini and Apollo were 50+ years ago. Airlocks are likely safer for everyone since ISS and shuttle spacewalks all used them. I think the ISS one also allows prebreathing in the hours before spacewalks to minimize chances of the bends.

And good point about hardening the electronics and equipment. That has to be a requirement regardless I guess since a depressurization could happen on any flight. But depressurizing then repressurizing them during flight increases the risk of something happening compared to not doing it.

So who on the crew will perform the spacewalk?

“We’d say all four of us are doing it — there’s no airlock and it’s being vented down to vacuum” inside the spacecraft, Isaacman said.

Interesting choice. Some sort of airlock module attached to the hatch seems like a better idea, but maybe that isn't possible. Hope those EVA suits work well since there's a 4x chance for failure with all 4 of them facing the harshness of space. Same goes for the internal capsule controls/modules/computers.

If somebody doesn't find that rhino birth scene funny, we can't be friends. I still shake violently watching that.

Promise him Secretary of State if he stays in the race until election day, keeps on message (stupid conservative arguments), and works swing states hard. Then...just don't give him State. Or anything.

Top sign = Trump said it. Nothing that flows from his mouth hole is reliable, accurate, or true. So you know this isn't either.

OK politicians sure do like wasting taxpayer dollars on unwinnable court cases.

Still moving faster than I-95. I'd stick with it.

You should listen to doctors, not the "right" or "left." It's clear from your comment you are not taking a doctor's advice.

I mean, if this is what you believe, you can still invest in bonds in a 401k or brokerage account. Even if I believed this about stocks crashing, I still wouldn't put any $ in an annuity.

Also, predicting the stock market and making huge decisions based on that tends to not go well.

You know who probably lobbies for this hot, unconstitutional garbage behind closed doors? Not the religious right.

Lawyers.

HB71 should be called The ~~Shithole State~~ Louisiana Attorney Employment Act, because this is going to need a ton of lawyers.

Lawyers to sue about its unconstitutionality.

Lawyers to defend its constitutionality.

Lawyers that represent Islam, Pastafarianism, Hinduism, etc. that want all aboard this state-promotion-of-religion train.
