Artemis II launch ๐Ÿš€ ๐ŸŒ™ ๐Ÿ‘€

If only there were some way of patching in radio transmissions into a telephone system...

Also on the wishlist: transmitting pictures through the air so that they can be received on equipment that displays those pictures.

Ah! One day maybe.
TIL that the Apollo Moon Landing Hoax began in 1929 when AT&T pretended to have a High Seas Radio Telephone System.

I had no idea how deep the rabbit hole goes...



It's pretty wild stuff.
 
The moon was in the beautiful blue sky all day today but couldn't photograph it just barely visible so must be some sort of projection ๐Ÿ‘€๐Ÿ‘€๐Ÿ˜†View attachment 161931
Well, like Apollo, then had the technology in the 1960's, but perhaps they forgot.....

Bat signal.webp


Perhaps recreate one now with an intricate staircase instead of a bat, so we can summon your presence in an emergency....:)
 
The first car phone appeared in 1946.
Presumably your car had to have a cable connecting it to the telephone system.
Not in Ireland it didn't ๐Ÿ˜† but my Dads 85 Renault 25 had one and each car got better and better in the 90s we got to carry our fones everywhere ๐Ÿ‘€๐Ÿ‘€ im so glad we never lost the technology for mobile fone use ...#not really they are a load of cock ๐Ÿ˜†

You are in the wrong thread.
 
Of course. The subtlety is saying, why did they pretend that man was a woman :unsure:
An utterly stupid fucker who projects their own thoughts into every situation to suit the narrative.. id like to think that diversonaut hates Trump but for all we know she could be looking on with awe and admiration ๐Ÿ˜† I really hope not ๐Ÿ‘€

Did you see Trumps space interview with them? Talk about tumbleweed!
 
Exactly what the crew was thinking. They were frantically moving the microphone away from themselves! Kinda hilariousโ€ฆ.
I try ignore America as much as humanly possible... this is the same sort of really shit soap opera drama my mam watched when I was a kid .. I believe none of it .๐Ÿ‘
 
For a little more contextโ€ฆ
In a 2016 video story published by the International Business Times UK on YouTube, Don Pettit says the following:

"I'd go to the moon in a nanosecond. The problem is we don't have the technology to do that anymore. We used to but we destroyed that technology and it's a painful process to build it back again. But going to Mars should be one of the next series of steps that humans do. The first step should be going back to the moon for a number of technical reasons and exploration reasons. And then after that, Mars, maybe high orbit in Venus atmosphere, maybe going to Europa. There's all kinds of targets to go to, places of interest in our solar system. The only limit to human future is our own imaginations."
I read an article recently equating the moon missions with the Concorde. We donโ€™t currently have any commercial flights any where near the speed Concorde was doing. So it could be argued that we never did. And anyone who argues that we did will only reinforce the opinion that we never did. Seems to be how the human mind works. Right, I am not going to have a beer nowโ€ฆ๐Ÿ˜

We don't use Concorde any more because it's not financially viable...not because we can't do it now because we "destroyed that technology and it's a painful (eh?) process to build it back again"

Remember was JFK said? "We choose to go to the Moon in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard." So fuck off Don ๐Ÿคฃ

And I've been on Concorde so I KNOW it exists ๐Ÿ˜Š

So, doesn't that amount to the same conclusion tho?
Anyway you can't fool us with all that โ€ฆ"Mach 2โ€ nonsense!

Of course not.

One thing NASA has never been short of is money.

Concorde was a commercial vehicle. They could build a thousand of them now if it made financial sense. But NASA saying it's too hard to do what they claim they've done multiple times...not buying that.
 
I've been inside the prototype Concorde at the Fleet Air Arm Museum. It's a horrible thing. Tiny and pokey, like being on a school minibus. Buggered if I'd have paid all that money just to get to Merka a bit quicker than usual.
 
The holograms they portray or fast jets at airshows to fool the paying public are proof of concord innit ๐Ÿค”๐Ÿ˜

I've also met a U-2 'dragon lady' spy plane pilot and they pee in their space suits to prove they went up that high ๐Ÿคฃ

Comfy leather seats....smoked salmon followed by fillet steak, with unlimited champagne at 8 o'clock in the morning. Was in NY to have breakfast in a diner with my sister - well, it was lunch for me.
 
I took a snap of something purported to be Concorde from my seat on a real jet.

It just shows you the elaborate lengths British Airways went to in order to fool the public.

You don't have to.

2.5 million people have flown on it...and they weren't hand picked and didn't all have funny handshakes.
How can you possibly be so gullible? ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿคฃ
 
There were twenty Concordes built. Ten built in France and ten in Britain. All still exist except two French ones. One that crashed in 2000 and was scrapped and another that was cannibalised for spares. The last one to fly was the British no. 10 which is now in a museum in Scotchland.
