Listening in to the live Artemis II feed. I love the way they talk about everything (jargon, acronyms, plaing English) . Like a bit ago, an astronaut was talking emotionally about how beautiful the views were of the approaching moon, and Houston's CapCom person responded plainly “Copy. Moon joy.”

I was listening to the Apollo 11 chatter in real time (exactly 50 years later) and there was a lot of that then too.

Some of the back channels going on that the astronauts didn’t hear was great mundane stuff.

Being in Mission Control must be like being the sober one watching your mates experience an amazing mushroom trip. “Man you can see everything is all connected we’re all one” “sure, jay’

I bet they actually hold classes on therapy, specifically for that kind of thing

Where do you get this? I've looked on the NASA app, on their YouTube live feeds, all I get is external video of the ship, or a visualisation, and silent views of mission control. Where is all this live chatter?

From here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=m3kR2KK8TEs

Lots of quiet stretches, then occasional conversations, long or short.

instead of pointless shit that money could've went to funding social programs. we shouldn't celebrate space exploration, bc it only takes money away from things that actually matter.

That you think money is limited, and that space exploration hasn't been immense for science and invention, explains why you hold such a silly position.

And, lost of recent toilet troubleshooting. A recent exchange:

Houston: "For the toilet wastewater vent lines—we would like to try providing warm content to the wastewater vent lines, ideally through a series of crew donations, and then immediately followed by a dump."

Houston (cont'd): "So we were wondering if you think that is something you could support this evening and if you were to suggest a time we would like to know what it is."
