By Perfect Blue Go To PostThe summer is when the first images should be coming. It’s a long way until then, though.
If it’s anything like Hubble, they’ll need to find a reference Star to focus and test against. Jus curious what the first image they release will be of.
How do they even choose what’s first in priority?
JWST sunshield deployment and tensionining is going to begin soon and take a full 5 days to complete. This is the trickiest bit.
Watched a video last night about theories of what happened before the Big Bang and that shit had my head fukt up for the rest of the evening

@reilo … fucking awesome news

hard sci-fi based around that sort of shit is trippy af too
So kind of a variation of the multiverse where stupidly large black Holes trigger constant big bangs over time.
There's loads of theories about what happened before the big bang. There's the whole membrane theory that our universe only came about as a result of membranes of other universal planes touching.
But I'm more curious about what happens after the heat death of the universe.
If you have an oled - use it!

On Saturday, the observatory, the James Webb Space Telescope, completed a final, crucial step around 10:30 a.m. by unfolding the last section of its golden, hexagonal mirrors. Nearly three hours later, engineers sent commands to latch those mirrors into place, a step that amounted to it becoming fully deployed, according to NASA.bam, they fucking did it
By Smokey Go To PostIncredible
sensational
Props to that NASA team.
5~6 months of calibration and in 15 days the engine maneuver for L2 orbit insertion.
The calibration schedule:

Would be funny if after everything went well, the easy part, the burn to put it into L2 orbit fails and it floats into space fully operational.
If you had Bezos/Gates/monkeNFT money would you be a space tourist knowing that the actual astronauts on the ISS probably think you're a wanker?
if i make it to space ahead of the hundreds legit elite humans who don't pass through the selection process because of nothing other than my sleazewealth, best believe i'm hittin a tiktok dance on the ISS
might do some premium scumbag shit and say "it looks flat from here" for the livestream too
fuck it i won

By Laboured Go To PostEverything I've read suggests living up in space is fucking unpleasant in every conceivable way.can't put a price on staring down at the poors
By Laboured Go To PostEverything I've read suggests living up in space is fucking unpleasant in every conceivable way.About 100 times worse than living in a submarine, which I wouldn't be able to do for 2 days. Great view tho.

Anyone who thinks the earth is flat is an attention-seeking numpty.
By Laboured Go To PostEverything I've read suggests living up in space is fucking unpleasant in every conceivable way.It's incredibly bad for your health and the universe is constantly trying to kill you with high energy cosmic rays that shred your DNA and some could fry you instantly. I mean it's just a matter of time before a major CME from our sun wipes out a large amount of our electrical infrastructure on earth. Shit could get real bad if a carrington class CME happened during the winter.
there's good degree more accommodation for astronauts than the avg sub goblin too i'd imagine
once other countries start getting their feet wet in space and accessibility to platforms goes up, there's gonna be some true shitshows

By reilo Go To PostDidn't we conclude that the human body shrinks/regresses in space?Yep every muscle in your body atrophies without gravity and that includes your heart and even your eyes can stop working. There needs to be some series genetic engineering if we as a species ever hope to survive in space. Imagine splicing in the ability for humans to photosynthesise so we barely have to eat.

Artificial gravity seems more likely?
By Fenderputty Go To PostArtificial gravity seems more likely?China already done crispr experiments on human already babies so it's closer than you think. It will be a combination of the two but artificial gravity still isn't close to as strong as Earth's.
I believe (could be wrong been a while since I read up on it), but space stations need to be extraordinarily large to support artitifical gravity close to earths.

Yea but if refuelable rockets become a thing, those large stations could be economically built in space
Great video on the effects of no gravity on Humans and the calculations needed to make a rotating space station.

Interesting that nausea is biggest reason scaling down is so difficult. Great video thanks
The International Space Station (ISS) will continue working until 2030, before plunging into the Pacific Ocean in early 2031, according to Nasa.
In a report this week the US space agency said the ISS will crash into a part of the ocean known as Point Nemo.
This is the point furthest from land on planet Earth, also known as the spacecraft cemetery.
Many old satellites and other space debris have crashed there, including the Russian space station Mir in 2001.
Nasa said that in the future space activities close to earth will be led by the commercial sector.
Dope af . Here is the star
It’s 100x dimmer than what our eyes can detect and Webb makes it look like something that is next door to us. Also just casually picked up galaxies chillin in the background. For an alignment photo. Imagine when it’s up and fully operational.

When the mirror alignment process started in early January, the ground team pointed the telescope at HD 84406, what the scientists described as a very "boring star" in our Milky Way galaxy. The star, 100 times fainter than what can be seen with the naked eye, was chosen not for its scientific significance but purely for its brightness and location.
"There's no way that Webb can look for 2,000 seconds at any point in the sky, and not get an incredibly deep field," Rigby said. "This is going to be the future from now on. Wherever we look, it's a deep field. Without even really breaking a sweat, we're seeing back in time to galaxies that we're seeing the light as it looked billions of years ago."
