Wonder which side is the dark side? Or if this is infrared? The moon can have over a 500 degree temperature differential from the poles to the equator. Of course it depends on which side is exposed to the Sun.

Orion continues its journey back to Earth on day 22 of the 25.5-day Artemis I mission. Orion’s return scheduled for Sunday, Dec. 11, 2022. A few key milestones for Orion remain, including the entry system check outs and propulsion system leak checks on mission days 24 and 25, respectively. Orion will travel at around 25,000 mph while reentering Earth’s atmosphere, testing the world’s largest ablative heat shield by reaching temperatures up to 5,000 degrees Fahrenheit – approximately half the heat of the sun. The heat shield is located at the bottom of the Orion capsule, measuring 16.5 feet in diameter, and sheds intense heat away from the crew module as Orion returns to Earth. The outer surface of the heat shield is made of 186 billets, or blocks, of an ablative material called Avcoat, a reformulated version of the material used on the Apollo capsules. During descent, the Avcoat ablates, or burns off in a controlled fashion, transporting heat away from Orion.

Meh. If I was one of the main people who that story was based on, I would be extremely embarrassed at that movie's depiction of me as an unprofessional, overly emotional attention-seeker.

Hollywood's morals are so corrupt, that even when they intend to tell a story about good role models, they still manage to turn the characters into poor role models.

Been awhile since I saw it, so I don't remember the names of the characters.

This scene below blew it for me. A full-grown adult who yells at her boss in a crowded room, jumping from complaints about the dress code to complaints about her salary to complaints about the coffee, and then screaming and crying at 30 co-workers? That's straight-up embarrassing for an adult to be portrayed that way, no matter what the reason is.

Yet to Hollywood, that is heroic.

Good role models settle their differences with poise and eloquence, not by screaming at the moon like a hyperactive child.

It's unfortunate that the overgrown children who pass for Hollywood writers these days have no idea how mature people actually act.

Follow-up: if you're interested in a more detailed explanation, the following is two videos with poignant examples of the ways that Hollywood writing has become less mature over the years, especially in the realm of how the heroes/role models interact with others around them:

Thanks for the feedback Bearcat. Ok, I remember that part of the movie. I told my wife after seeing her run to the bathroom about four times I think. I told the wife this is going to come up in the movie somewhere. I also wondered how far the bathroom was.
About that scene that you posted where she had the melt down and it was raining that day. I'm almost 70 years old and if that had happened to me, I would probably have used a few choice words for my Boss after he asked me why it took me 40 min. to go to the bathroom.But hey that's just me.
After reading you comments about Hollywood and this movie being based on true events. As I know and probably you do to, Hollywood will put stuff in the movie that did not happen, so I did a search and came up with this.

Although “Hidden Figures” is praised for its diversity and female and Black empowerment in the movie and in real life, it has been criticized for its whitewashing by film director Theodore Melfi.

In one of the most dramatic scenes of the film, Johnson’s white boss becomes aware of her having to run back and forth to her old building to use the “Colored” bathroom since there wasn’t one in the new one. Her boss, portrayed by Kevin Costner, then picks up a crowbar, goes to the bathroom and proceeds to smash the “Colored Ladies Room” sign as an act to renounce racism.

In reality, this heartwarming scene never happened and was just a way for Melfi to reassure the audience that “white people who do the right thing” exist.

Despite his seemingly positive intentions, Melfi created a scenario with the sole purpose of making a “white savior” look good, diminishing the actual achievements made by Johnson. In real life, Johnson used the white bathrooms along with everyone else and was never questioned for it. This is just one example of filmmakers shielding white viewers from the racist reality of, in this case, the space program.
https://highschool.latimes.com/fountain-...ace%20era.

The other two movies that you posted. I really don't care for those kind of movies and any other movies that use a lot of computer done stuff. I did watch the new Top Gun movie two months ago and it was almost as good as the first one even though they used the computer a lot for the movie.
Sorry for the long reply 04-cheers

This was one of the main goals with the JWT from the beginning. To be able to test their theories on the age of the universe.

The 13 billion number they currently agree to cling to was going to be put to the test by this telescope and not surprisingly they will soon have to raise those estimates AGAIN.

The more time they have to use and tinker with the JWT the more and more they will have to change their current models.

Dr. Kaku wants to find ways to predict earthquakes in order to save peoples lives and Globalists want to kill us. Why don't they make up their minds. *rolls eyes*

In the end Globalists will get their wish. The Bible says that a third (or is it two thirds) of the people of the earth will die in Armaggedon. No Covid needed.

I believe in total (all of the tribulation, the trumpet and bowl wraths and Armageddon combined) the text suggests it adds up to half the earth dying, which would equal about 4 billion people if it started today.

Even after all that many of the remaining survivors will be judged and cast into hell in the sheep-goats Judgement.

Quote:We'll soon learn the identities of the first four people to journey to lunar realms in half a century.

On Monday (April 3), NASA and the Canadian Space Agency (CSA) will jointly announce the names of the four individuals flying on the Artemis 2 mission. Events will stream live from Ellington Field, near NASA's Johnson Space Center in Houston, at 11 a.m. EDT (1500 GMT).

You can catch the NASA webcast here at Space.com, via NASA Television(opens in new tab). If the CSA streams its own event at its headquarters near Montreal, we'll provide that as well.

This will be the first crewed mission to travel outside of Low Earth Orbit since 1972!

The lunar flyby will also set the record for the farthest manned flight from our pale blue dot, surpassing the Apollo 13 mission.
