What's it doing in space?

So they shot a dildo into space... nothing out of the ordinary.

Top comment: Something, something your moms dildo

Worked on Atlas V for years. Loved the NASA launches but hated not knowing what Space Treaties I was breaking. Being a free agent is great.
Morovech
It's crazy how these form in nature like that
jharrison94
What's its purpose?
AmericanAirlines
To fuck OP's mom

It looks like a penis.

It looks like he's saying "Just fuck off"

Indeed, while I like to think he's saying: ''Just fly off''

NASA shipping OPs mum her new dildo.

That wasn't the only rocket that went off last night.

Obviously fake. I've played a lot of Kerbal Space Program, he should've dropped at LEAST two empty stages before clearing the tower.

America's future of manned spaceflight makes me sad.
Supernerdtastic
That Boeing & SpaceX will be providing flights to the space station saddens you?
BrettTheHitmanCart
I recently visited the Kennedy Space Centre (I'm South African). You go into a room where they simulate the control room for Apollo 11 (1/2)
BrettTheHitmanCart
for the moon landing mission and it fucking gave me goosebumps. What an experience. (2/2)

What is its payload?
SirusKing
Spy satellite. Probably. It's classified.

I got Jeb stuck on the Mun very early in one game. 15 years later, I brought him home!

I sent a Space Navalcraft to colonize Duna. All of the equipment was defective and the Carrier crash landed on the return trip to Kerbin.
MakeItAGoodOne
I have half a dozen stranded kerbals that I will bring home some day.
areyoutoocynicalfortherealworld
You won't and you know it. You have to live with the knowledge that they are floating out there with only their thoughts for company.
Adambailey6
Stay strong and thank KASA for developing to self recycling envirosuits that provide an endless supply of food/water/air.
GodlessWes
Ahh yes rockets and space shit just what I like.
notaballoon
Except it's not, it's a fucking stupid spy satellite or some shit. "Oh look at me, I threw some dumb garbage ten feet into orbit" Fuck this.

Man how bout that falcon heavy launch the other week? Space is gettin exciting again

Wait, we did a launch thing? Why did I not know we had a launch thing?
Supernerdtastic
Cos you dont look at the nasa site? Pretty sure they have all launches on the calendar.
AllegedlyTonyDutch
We used to have spaceplanes and went back a step. Also. I make more impressive shit in KSP. :P

"carrying into orbit a classified payload called CLIO for an undisclosed agency of the United States government" WTF?
gandalfofmanycolors
It's usually the NRO that depends heavily on ULA for the launch of spy satellites. I could be wrong for this instance though.
Automatvapen
Negotiations with the Martians failed. They demand a Renault Clio as a peace offer.

dominaeleonora
So...as an American, the govt used my money to purchase a satellite that they wont tell me the function, purpose, or placement of? WTF?
Aesaar
Do you really think every detail of the things the govt uses tax money on should be public knowledge?
dominaeleonora
No, there is never black and white, all or nothing. But where do we, the funders, get to decide "NO."?
irwinjr
When you elect your leaders.
TheWrathFromHighAtopTheThing
It's not your money as soon as it goes to the gov, man. If you don't like how it's being spent and the majority agrees with you (1/2)
TheWrathFromHighAtopTheThing
elect someone else (2/2).
SirusKing
All governments use "Your" money to buy what they want or need. It is likely another spy satellite which obviously they cant tell you about.
dominaeleonora
Right. Over Africa. Where we're sending 3000 personnel. Awesome. Follow your money, friends.
SirusKing
Wait, what? "Over Africa"? o.o I don't think you know how satellites work.
dominaeleonora
I know how geosynchronous orbits work, where they "park" a satellite wherever they want it.
irwinjr
Satellites can stay over one position on the planet
LoneDirewolf
I'm glad we're finally putting together a mission to bring back Clooney. That beautiful son of bitch needs to be saved
PrfctDrk
I haven't seen it yet!!! Thanks a lot
HarlequinRogue
Ah, that must be how he's winning the bet against Nicole Kidman!
QuantumWolf
Thanks for the spoiler, jerk! I haven't seen the movie yet and didn't know which one doesn't make it.
wilybeaman
At this point it's your fault. It's been out for a while.
DocNormalday
In his defense there is more than one movie with Clooney in space. i.e. Solaris.

It's been out for nearly a year. I apologize for the spoiler but you should've seen it by now
CarrotSharpener
A year is not fucking long enough. When you get to like 30 years you can assume everyone who was gonna see/read something has done it.
LoneDirewolf
It's not even 90 minutes long. If you can't manage to find 90 minutes out of a year then I'm not sorry. Watch it in 30 minute chunks

Our space program is NOT dead
HandsOfCobalt
Orion capsule test launch (Delta IV) this December, capture asteroid in lunar orbit (SLS) around 2020, people on Mars (also SLS) around 2030

aveleo
And we've been using their rockets forever. Our space program is focusing on heavy lift now, with an eventual goal of getting to Mars.
SaintMaceToTheFace
If we contract the little shit to private companies and focus on big Rockets I'm cool with that
dualplains
We no longer have lift or carry vehicles, but there's a lot more to a space program than how you get there.
dsurik
+1 to capitalism
HandsOfCobalt
Orion capsule seats six; December test will be unmanned. Also, we're going to CATCH AN ASTEROID AND ORBIT IT AROUND THE GODDAMNED MOON JFC
copingcabana
No, but Jebediah is.
RandomAbscessMemories
Never.
ProfessorMosby
YOu bastard!
logicalchemist
Don't worry; he respawns.
rkymtnthunder
Our manned program is. Hopefully SpaceX (and others) will resolve that so we can stop depending on the Russians!
Supernerdtastic
Out from under the rock brah, SpaceX & Beoing confirmed manned flights.
rkymtnthunder
Confirmed...I'm just saying I can't wait for it to actually happen!
RazgrizSeed
According to someone I know that used to work at NASA, their focus is to convert the facility to cater to private sector. It will be the 1/2
RazgrizSeed
First official spaceport. He said they paved the way for commercial projects, now they can hand it over. Much like with aviation.
Supernerdtastic
As long as there is oversight, I'm okay with this. SpaceX is awesome.
copingcabana
Thanks to common core, the next gen won't get us to Mars or even the moon, but we'll be in the same solar system. And that's reasonable.
Klingon00
But just think of all those countries without a space program. They will be able to reach the same solar system too! Yay equality!
RandomAbscessMemories
...what does educational standards have to do with NASA funding?
copingcabana
Less about funding, more about success.
RandomAbscessMemories
Somehow I don't think that will be determined by anything anybody learns in k-12. It's basically daycare with history of slavery lessons.
copingcabana
That's exactly why we haven't been to the moon in 40 years.
thealmightythor
Who said it was? NASA just contracts launches now instead of building the spacecraft themselves. Much more cost effective.
Beepity
ULA isn't cost effective.
BrassKicker
On another note, in 2012, 0.5% of federal spending went to space sciences, with about 40 times as much going to defense.
SaintMaceToTheFace
Ok. We know
SukhoiSuperjet
NASA should have done this years ago, Americans should not be travelling in Soyuz capsules to space.
SirusKing
Besides, years ago only russia and other major nations could contract them to each other, since no one else had rockets capable of it.
SirusKing
Why not? Because you are extremely nationalistic?
SaintMaceToTheFace
Because we don't want to depend on a country that thinks Putin is a nice guy.
Aesaar
Why not? The Soyuz is an excellent spacecraft.
SukhoiSuperjet
I agree, its by far my favourite spacecraft. But the world superpower and self proclaimed winner of the space race, should fly its own stuff
ThePeoplesCartographer
I hate to be the one to tell you this but the Russians make the engine for the Atlas V.
noideaforafunnyname
HEY! BITCHES! They are bringing back the space shuttles. They don't want to be dependent on Russia anymore.
SukhoiSuperjet
They are not.
noideaforafunnyname
Yes they are. Nasa wants Boeing and SpaceX to build new vessels. The deal is worth 6,8 billion dollars.
