In the 1960s, NASA studied crewed Mars flyby missions using Apollo hardware. They were seen as stepping stones to crewed Mars landing missions. In the 1980s, the concept briefly returned using Space Station tech. From No Shortage of Dreams. 🛰️🔭🧪🚀🪐🌏👩‍🚀🌌 spaceflighthistory.blogspot.com/2019/12/revi...

And I guess this applies to Butch, Sunni, Don and Nick up on the International Space Station. What happens if they are busy you know with actual work and don't complete this on time? Do they get fired? And if the DO get fired, does that mean that the "rescue mission" is off? Asking for a friend.

So one would think, this command applies to NASA & its Astronaut Corps, including those on the ISS (I wonder too if Nick , DON, Butch and Sunni decided they were too busy and DIDN'T do this in the allotted time,would they be FIRED?) I could imagine the fun some of them could have with this request.

Musk threatens to fire federal workers who don't respond to an email. Makes no legal sense. Like Trump, he seems to be doing it for shock and awe. Even if it makes no sense. How could the government even read and respond to all these?

Interesting thing for the President to say about a person who, according the government’s lawyers, “has no actual or formal authority to make government decisions himself” and “only has the ability to advise the President, or communicate the President’s directives.”

The other reason most likely is that they are not sure if Endurance will be ready in time. There were doubts about this from the beginning, hence the references to spacecraft readiness, FRR in first announcement. Some internal mission ops voices apparently said "April" without cutting corners...

This should be a huge red flag to countries other than just Ukraine. Predatory weaponization of interdependence is something the US can probably exploit in the short term but the rest of the world will, rightfully, avoid American solutions if that's our modus operandi

NASA has backed off from plans to hold a pair of news briefings Monday for the upcoming Exp. 73 missions to the ISS, with the Crew-10 mission briefing delayed to at least March 7. No reason given, but maybe NASA doesn't want to talk about the ISS right now…

Remind me who voted for Elon Musk? How he’s getting round conflict of interest rules is a mystery. Here’s hoping this is the same nonsense chat as Rogozin’s Twitter storm and doesn’t shorten the life of the ISS.
