Yup

What is that supposed to mean? It's the most useful metric.

What do you mean? We have quite a few probes in deep space now - heck even geostationary satellites aren't in LEO.

I am not arguing for the Apollo Missions and related theater, however.

Must be one of those van allen belt guys.

Nope, although I am well read on that as well. Just one of those 'the tech simply wasn't there' guys.

Was referring to parent comment. Regardless, it was wartime-like spending that made it work. If you look at how massive the Saturn V guidance computer was you'll see the tech was there, but just barely: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6mMK6iSZsAs (31:00 is where they get to the ring)

It’s depressing that that’s the most useful metric, seeing as it’s halfway to literally anywhere in the fucking Universe and yet we refuse to go beyond it anymore.

It's what launch vehicles do after all, lob things into space where vacuum-optimized propulsion can be used.

If I were POTUS, I would be tempted to create a special office or award for Elon Musk. I would be tempted to give him funding to do whatever he thought would help.

He has the money except for maybe the mars colony, he'll figure it out by then.

Musk is a charlatan and a faggot
