India is the first nation to touch down in the area, just days after Russia’s failed attempt.

    All of the kids are holding up pictures of an american space shuttle that isn’t even designed to land on the moon. But its good that those kids have something to look up to.

      The space shuttle is very photogenic 🤷

        True, it was the sexiest spacecraft humanity has done so far. Now we only have flying space dicks, sometimes with some smaller space dicks attached to its sides. Quite poetic.

          Yeah, feels like we have taken a step back almost, we went from Apollo to shuttle and back to basically Apollo as far as overall look.

          The closest thing to the shuttle that has a planned Q1 2024 launch date is Dreamchaser. It’s much smaller than the shuttle and not nearly as capable, but it at least looks cooler and lands like the shuttle.

          If you look closer, you can see that the space shuttle is actually riding on a giant flying space dick, with two smaller flying space dicks attached on the sides.

          True. Unfortunately it seems like the shuttle design is not as perfoment as the traditional rockets. Maybe when we have orbital platforms.

      At least they’re not wearing NASA t-shirts.
