Spending way too much energy breaking down the timeline of Harry Potter’s life and death tbh.

Thanks!

Last I checked Orion had an NDS. Do you have a source for “they don’t have a docking port”? I try to stay abreast of space news, so if I missed something I definitely want to know about it

AFAIK the dragon and Orion could physically dock together - the NDS (NASA docking system) can be used as either chaser or target so there shouldn’t be any issue there. Orbital dynamics might be a problem, depending on what kind of issue there is. Realistically, if there is an issue that can’t be fixed the rescue plan is probably to deorbit the Orion and splashdown, unless for some reason that became impossible

Not at all, no. But they are going to do a 24 hour dwell in earth orbit to do checks before they burn for their free-return lunar orbit

The shield is ablative, so yes it is supposed to wear away. The problem isn’t that it wore away, it’s that it wore away in ways that were not predicted by the model. It “spalled”, meaning big chunks broke off.

There is 0 chance that they’ll be able to do “regular annual trips” without changing the architecture. Even if they could support the $4B+ launch cost of SLS + Orion every year, which they can’t, lockmart couldn’t produce enough Orion capsules, Boeing and their contractors couldn’t produce enough SLS cores, Northrop Grumman couldn’t produce enough SRBs and aerojet rocketdyne couldn’t produce RS-25 engines fast enough for even a 1/year launch cadence.

Apoliticism is a political philosophy in the same way that atheism is a religion

You know who doesn’t agree with this one? A majority of those polled that receive tips.

Edit: that isn’t to say that I disagree. Just adding context.
