Let's have a good space/astronautics thread. In this thread : vehicles, stations, engines, modules, launchers, equipment, astronauts, etc. everything related to space exploration.
any burgan?

I can't believe that these Rails are not perfectly made. I mean, you can build and buy rockets and dont build or buy an even railway?
>>2467595
I just realized that they probably were even and perfectly alined, they just were in use for quite a long time..

Do they remove them ?
>>2468794
The three astronauts in that picture would be dead a few years later

I assume that's the red spot on Jupiter? It looks like cream just added to coffee
>>2508486
Yes. The photo was taken by Voyager I circa january 1979.
>>2464647
I got you. What do you want to see?
>>2517039
Salyut Programme!
>>2474033
Space shuttle had a lot of flaws, no argument there. But damn if it didn't look cool.
>>2517039
Lets have some of Vostok and Voskhod, those two don't get enough coverage.
>>2517039
Everything !!!!!!!

A lot of Salyut is too low-res for /hr/ but I'll post what I can

and yet nobody ever duplicated it. I wonder why? Are trash cans not in plenty?
>>2517764
You can't be that stupid.
The lack of detail while in super focus
proves it's a small object close up.
Detail focus proves a great deal about an objects size.
If the scratches, imperfections and details are only huge, then it's a small object.

You would do well to search for Analysis of the Wedding cake UFO by Rhal Zahi and read it. Maybe you'll understand afterwards. Maybe.

Does anyone have a good collection of spacesuits/flight suits?
>>2522071
amazing... open the thread even i can see anon's all ready posted loads... it be nicer if you showed us yours collection that is
>>2483264
This picture always blows my mind; given how crisp and clean the image looks, and that there's nothing to immediately date it (aside from the identities of the men and the Apollo 1 patches) makes it look like it could have been taken last week. Shit's crazy.
>>2508486
It's due to gases being fluid, though not a liquid. Under the correct circumstances, they behave the same., such as turbulance in liquids or gases.
>>2487406
anyone have info on where this is?
>>2518389
What an amazing piece of technology.
>>2517039
Boeing Defense (or commercial), Orbital Cygnus, or Lockheed Martin satellites in integration or packaging stages would be cool.
