Would be curious to see the settings used there. Modern sensors are miles ahead of old film in terms of dynamic range but looks like they've struggled with making a clean pic with Earth in shadow.
Looks like the sun is obscured by Earth. Hence the halo in the bottom corner. You can see Aurora Borealis on both poles at the same time (there was another storm yesterday plus they cranked the shadows up; ISS is too low for you to see both polar regions at the same time) and it's actually night time on the visible part of the Earth; that's Gibraltar at 7 o'clock, one can clearly see the city lights of Madrid, Barcelona and Lisbon and the countless smaller settlements along the coast.

FYI, the heat shield on Artemis I suffered more damage than NASA anticipated, so they're going for a different reentry angle for this one. Future missions will use a redesigned heat shield.

>I just hope Artemis 3 doesn’t get canned.
Does he know? 
Artemis III is now targeting 2027 for a low Earth orbit docking test with the landers. The landing is Artemis IV in 2028. The good news is that Artemis V is ALSO targeting 2028. The new NASA admin is focusing on increasing the launch cadence of SLS to at least two flights per year alongside a proper moon base by 2030.

It's going to go nowhere, better focus on the here and now instead of fictional fantasy stuff. The economy needs to get fixed. I'm not saying space is gay (it is tho) but the only shit that matters is satellites for consumer and military operation. Everything else is a drain of money

The timeline could be 100k years because that's how long it would take to explore a planet anyways. Maybe we could mine them for resources, but that doesn't require sending any people anywhere and can be done all remotely through drones.

Put too much faith in robotics award. You still need people to maintain them when they inevitably break down. There's a reason why mining on Earth hasn't been fully automated yet.
Wouldn't it be better to exploit the nearly endless resources of Space? This weird crabs-in-a-bucket mentality will get us nowhere.

none of that will EVER happen in our lifetime or the following thousands of years. The best we can do is send a few people here and there, everything else is a hype and grift for investors. Also comparing a fucking wooden boat to a complex spaceship that takes years and millions to make is wild, and each boat then would have 50% mortality rates which I'm sure the insurance companies would happily cover for space expeditions (not). The best you will get is these wunderbar one off missions of zero value to anyone

I'm being serious, where are you going to get the money to send enough rockets to make it profitable? Especially with how dangerous each flight is, it's too expensive to make it solid like current one off flights. So you cut corners, but that means taking a risk that's too expensive arm for anyone to cover. You get one off missions like these, a d you'll be happy because no one minds spending a few billions here and there once in a while lmao
Replies: >>102957 >>102973

It shouldn’t be dangerous it’s just the way we do it at the moment is because the government chooses contracts to launch their shit. Space X can do hundreds of flights a year for starlink just fine. As soon as shit can be fabricated on the moon it’s becomes exponentially cheaper.

SpaceX is good at launching satellites. For a minimum operation on the moon you need to launch supplies daily, sustain life, and be able to bring back the material which is a lot easier.
There's also no proof of any value on the moon besides the soil content, it's like trusting the soviets of their rare earth deposits reports etc. all fictional in the moment
Replies: >>102973
On the topic of SpaceX I'm looking forward to their accounting books, apparently they are very "profitable" because they don't take depreciation and amortization into account lmao

The Artemis missions cost billions because NASA contracted Boeing and Lockheed Martin to make the SLS rocket and the Orion capsule, respectively. Since it was a cost-plus contract, the contractors weren't incentivized to keep costs low, and I'm sure you already know about the various stories of delays and cost overruns regarding other programs from those defense contractors, so a NASA contract wouldn't be any different. Not to mention that the rocket and spacecraft are expendable after one mission.

>>102958
>There's also no proof of any value on the moon besides the soil content
The real value of the Moon is that you can use it as a base for infrastructure to support other space missions. It takes around 8-9 km/s of delta-v to launch to low Earth orbit, but it only takes around 6km/s of delta-v to go from the surface of the moon to low Earth orbit. It could be as low as ~3km/s if you use aerobreaking using Earth's atmosphere (Obviously, this requires your craft to have the appropriate hardware to do so). The end goal would be to build a mass driver on the Moon, which would take care of the delta-v costs of launch and ejecting from lunar orbit. 
TLDR: you can launch stuff cheaper from the Moon to LEO than from the Earth to LEO, which would open the way to more efficient space exploration.

I haven't heard anything about that. If anything, now they aren't profitable, mainly because they acquired xAI. Interesting since they're targeting a 1.75 trillion IPO in the summer.
