You're a bad man, NASA wouldn't lie. The issue with the cable cars is that the decibel pressure at that distance would be utterly lethal, so they had to have been evacuated long before launch. Which is odd, because this should be obvious. So why did they actuate them? Maybe to give something tangible for the controlled opposition crews - who knows? I'm not sure any of it matters anymore, the press reading vast majority just nod their heads as they eat their morning Cheerios. I'm now convinced that every single space mission has been faked.

Another real wakeup call.

The Airbus website for the ESM is very proud of the total number of rockets on board ESM at - you guessed it - 33. In our faces over and over and over.

Even without accounting for insulation the 2000 gallon LH2 tank would occupy 8 by 8 by 8 ft. A 4 degree Kelvin fluid requiring frequent mechanical stirring, delicately shoehorned in with a three week supply of compressed air and liquid water for four pseudo-adult actors, LO2 tank, plumbing, avionics, "thermal control system", 33 rockets and 7 miles of apparently massless wiring. Even Airbus' non-schematic shows nothing of the sort.

No janky Caucasian Apollo-grade LO2 gasifier or fuel cells work for today's diversity NASA. Just a big explosive scuba tank of air (charged at, what, 50000 psi?) and freeze-boil-proof water.

Nothing stinks in Denmark either.
