Welcome to the Colorado AR-15 Shooters Club Discussion Forums.
Artemis Moon Rocket Launches Tomorrow
Giant rocket launch tomorrow morning! Unmanned mission to orbit the moon. It is supposed to be as loud as 10,000 jet engines. This rocket is larger than the Saturn V that took man to the moon.

How many years is this project behind schedule?

Modern liberalism is based on the idea that reality is obligated to conform to one's beliefs because; "I have the right to believe whatever I want".

A World Without Guns <- Great Read!
I don't think it's larger than a Saturn V, but does have more thrust.

This is gonna be a window rattler, but I think it's gonna scrub.
Hey Nostradamus, got any winning lotto numbers in your crystal ball?
----------------Saturn----------Art
Propulsion--- 3 stages------ 2 stages
Height ----- 363 feet------- 212 feet
Diameter --- 33 feet------ 27.6 feet
Weight ---- 6.5 million lbs.------ 5.75 million lbs.
Thrust ----- 7.5 million lbs. ------ 8.8 million lbs.
So smaller over all - but the crew module is bigger with longer duration.

Smaller, lighter but with more than a million pounds more thrust.
No matter which way you spin it, that's a win.

I would hope there would be some significant performance improvements over half a century of development.
The Saturn used what was essentially just scale-up of early proven engine designs to get something functional before Kennedy's deadline and not decades later.
We will see soon if all that NASA and contractor computing and design modeling power devoted to Artemis was up to snuff.

It's also interesting to see NASA again involved in a space race. But this time instead of the ruskies, they're racing against Elon.
And like all governments, they'll cheat if they need to by having the FAA keep Elon's tests on the ground.
