Green brocolli man says, “The server is not correctly configured.”
I like the part about the MPCV touring the country showing “the next manned spacecraft” with the:
“isn’t it just a CEV test article that hasn’t flown”
“didn’t SpaceX already flown a Dragon capsule”
(maybe paraphrased)
Just a few months ago, I saw the MPCV capsule CEV test article with all sorts of signs saying “CEV is built near me”. Next to it was the flown Dragon capsule… No signs… Just an obviously burned-from-re-entry-heatshield capsule… Bigger than CEV.
I like how the green guy pronounces it “NASAr.” He’s even dumber than a Kennedy.
That’s an artifact of the Xtranormal text-to-voice software. In my experience, there is no way to spell NASA that will get them to pronounce it correctly.
Why is Broccoli Man in a cage?
Because NASA is going to explore Deep Space
Broccoli Man is in a cage because Obama has doubled-down on all of George W Bush’s policies, and the only thing GW hated more than Al-Qaeda was broccoli. He didn’t like it, was forced to eat it as a child, and as President wasn’t going to eat any more of it. Yet Obama wasn’t content just to eschew broccoli, as Bush did. He signed a Presidential directive to have broccoli leaders and lieutenants jailed and tortured.
Yet Broccoli man is right. Orion is expensive because it’s designed for deep space, which is a much more difficult environment. Imagine the vacuum of space in LEO, and then imagine even fewer atoms per square meter. Yes, the vacuum in deep space is even harder, so the Orion has to have a tougher hull so it doesn’t get dented. Worse yet, deep space has hardly been explored, so Orion has to be designed to cope with gravimetric anomalies, nebulas, tachyon emissions, and space pirates, all while scanning for asteroids with life signs and maintaining anti-matter containment of the warp core. That’s not easy.
While only Rand can answer why Broccoli Man is in a cage, I always assumed it was because that’s the only way Z Girl can get answers out of him without him running away like a typical dinospace advocate.
Z Girl seems to think that Dragon is better because it has been flown and its development is ahead of the CEV. But if I know Broccoli Man, he could point out that this means that Dragon is a used spaceship, all scorched and salt-soaked, whereas the CEV is brand spanking new, so new it still has that new spaceship smell. As Men in Black might ask, is this country going to fund old and busted or the new hotness, hotness so new that we don’t even know what model-year they’re going to slap on the CEV’s sticker? A long awaited vehicle hasn’t generated this much excitement since the Edsel.
