Underpants

ACD at Orient. I was at a wedding reception in London when that one flew in 😁

But until this week they hadn't. Frustrated? Nah. Curious.

You've gone off on another one Zico 😁. I just found it surprising that it took longer. Ive only got myself to blame but I didn't really need an in-depth explanation. Nonetheless thanks for the leg work you put in.

😁 You're easy like a Sunday morning.

Where were you at the beginning of this conversation? 😁. That info would have saved everyone a lot of time. An extra 40k miles further explains more than all this nonsense these pseudo quantum rockets scientists did with their googled validation protocols, gravitational pulls and driving to Blackpool analogies. Fatolive talking to Undies, @Zico@kent_white 👍

The reason it takes the same time is that we have speed limits to obey and the roads are packed with folk doing the same. But we can get to Blackpool quicker if we want. As far as I know there's not a million other people going to the moon and there's no coppers or speed limit in space.

You wouldn't make a good defence solicitor. You've told me things and supplied me with information that Im aware of. Thanks. But you have slightly changed your tune with your progress calculator. There are plenty of ways we measure progress. I get that. But none of us are rocket scientist or rocket engineers. I'm sure if these guys were in this conversation they would bore us all to death with the heat sensor light for the Artemis 2 toilet. But the big glaring lack of advancement to Mr. Joe Average on planet earth is that it took longer to get there. That is a fact. Ages ago on here I was asked what I would like to see with regard manned space travel? I said going to other ther side of the moon would be a start. That has just happened. Even taking into account all the advancements in tech. I find it odd that it was a slower drive. Maybe because of the price of fuel they had to put it on cruise control because of the cost 🤔

I can only go off what you wrote. You said progress isn't measured in distance. I said it is one of the components in measuring progress. And are you seriously telling me that the extra horse power in the apollo missiond back in the 60s was because of the Soviets? It was a space race but it wasn't one were a few extra MPH would have made a difference. Anyway at least we went slower back to the moon in a slightly bigger and nicer boat. Might have to wait another 50 years before we set foot on the moon, or anywhere else for that matter, again. That's progress for ya!

Utter bollox. Distance is one of the components you measure progress in. As is speed. With every mode of transport this has been the case. fuck me in 60 years we went from not being able to fly to putting a man on the moon (allegedly). In the 50 years since we've been back once and it was slower.

57 years on you would have thought that Artemis II would have got to the moon quicker than when Armstrong and his gang went. Some might say we've gone backwards with manned explosion.

Built for the size of the mission. You wouldn't go across the Thames on a Cunard liner.

👍 Birmingham City introducing themselves.

Kill, kill, kill the bill!

If you say so. All I said was that piece of halibut was good enough for Jehovah!

FFS! Another itemised breakdown of our evolution from a square wheel. This was never my point.
