Artemis II launch 🚀 🌙 👀

The Space Shuttle orbiter's landing gear tires used a heavy-duty bias-ply (cross-ply) construction, optimized for extreme loads, high touchdown speeds (around 220 mph / 354 km/h for main gear), and the stresses of landing on a runway.a86212
howthingsfly.si
Key Features of the Construction:
Bias-ply design: Layers (plies) of fabric cords were laid diagonally (criss-crossed at opposing angles, typically 30–45° to the centerline) from bead to bead. This maximized strength and load-carrying capacity, unlike radial tires where cords run perpendicular to the tread.5ea543
howthingsfly.si
Multiple fabric layers: Sources indicate each tire incorporated around 16 different fabric layers in a bias-ply arrangement for the main gear tires (with higher ply ratings overall, e.g., 34-ply rating for main gear tires). The plies were commonly made of strong nylon cords (such as nylon 6,6).79b530

Typical tire components (standard for high-performance bias aircraft tires, confirmed for Shuttle use):
Inner liner: Butyl or halobutyl rubber to retain pressure (nitrogen-filled).
Carcass plies: The main reinforcing fabric layers.
Beads: High-tensile wire bundles to anchor the tire to the rim.
Additional elements: Sidewalls, tread, chafers, flippers, apex fillers, and belts (nylon or similar) for added durability and stress distribution.7c642f

Inflation: Main gear tires at ~315–340 psi (very high pressure); nose gear at ~300 psi. Filled with nitrogen for stability across temperature extremes (from space cold to landing heat), low leakage, and non-flammability.a82d81
NASA
Additional Specs:
Main landing gear tires (two per gear, four total): Larger and heavier-duty (e.g., size around 44.5 × 16.0-21), designed for massive loads (up to ~132,000 lbs / 60,000 kg force per tire). Typically single-use due to wear.325d8d
NASA
Nose gear tires (two total): Smaller (e.g., 32 × 8.8), often rated for multiple landings (up to ~2).a783f5
NASA
Wheels: Forged aluminum for strength and lightness.e06590

These tires were custom-engineered (e.g., by manufacturers like Goodyear or BFGoodrich in various iterations) and far more robust than standard aircraft tires—handling loads several times higher than a Boeing 747 while enduring single high-speed landings.8ebbdb

Bullshit baffles brains.

They can literally say anything, because it’s untestable. Brilliant really.

2.5 million people have flown on it...and they weren't hand picked and didn't all have funny handshakes.

Is it the fucken ark? 2.5 million people!, all getting salmon. Was Jesus catering?

I've seen that one. Not sure whether it was cgi though.

Thinking about it, it probably was. They were always faking things back then, even though actually doing the thing they were faking would have been orders of magnitude easier and wouldn't require a conspiracy involving tens or hundreds of thousands of people, with no credible whistleblowers emerging from the scams.

So let me get this straight; by that rationale, everyone who works in the factories, chemists, hospitals, delivery drivers, made the packaging, printed the labels and the package inserts etc that handled the convid jabs - they must've all have known that it was a scam and were all 'in on it' but kept schtum?

That's what you're saying right, but just in context of the NASA scam?

And best not forget the NASA whistleblowers...I would say gone but not forgotten, but obviously they have been forgotten.

Your use of a strawman, when there's been high temperatures and no rainfall, is irresponsible. You want people to die.

No, I am saying that everything you haven't personally seen or experienced is a scam and never happened.

Thus independent amateur observers witnessing the products of the various space programmes, tracking the ISS... Hubble and WEBB telescope outputs... GPS... etc... the nations who were in a position to pierce the deceptions and benefit from doing so but didn't... the media, NASA themselves... they are all in on it!

I'm pretty sure I am doing this right.

Not forgotten. Discounted.

You'll note (or should have done so) my reference to credible whistleblowers.

No you're not.
Per my convid analogy...you can see how the vast majority of people connected to a scam and actually be involved in it to a degree, need not be aware that it is a scam.

Look at Ground Control at Houston for example - there may be 1000 people in that room, checking monitors for temperatures, trajectories, fuel consumption and all manor of data points. Perhaps none of them are in on it. Perhaps 3 people are. The data they're monitoring could be from engines being run in a warehouse 20 miles away. They will swear blind it was all happened as we're told it was. They don't know any different. Generations of people who knew, or knew someone who knew them will swear blind because 'aunty Meg knew someone who...' And that becomes history.

When you don't believe there was a scam, you will never believe the credibility of anyone.

All scams are created equal? That's a bold claim.

I agree.
The Deliveroo drivers and lettuce-pickers employed by NASA at Mission Control... the "technicians" and "engineers" who barely spoke English and who came across on small boats to work in factories across the country, who manufactured the components making up the rockets, orbiters, landers and such... they were all easily duped. They had no idea what they were doing or how the equipment was supposed to work.

It was just like what happened in the laboratories of Pfizer and Moderna. In fact, it was probably the same people! Deliveroo drivers and boat people, I'll bet.

When you don't believe the "evidence" presented which posits "it is all a scam"... because the "evidence" is unfailingly disproven on scientific grounds time and time again... or discountable as mere grifter anecdotes with no corroboration whatsoever... time and time again... you start to really think about the issue of credibility.

If I could just receive one piece of unequivocal evidence of a hoax, maybe I'll give it serious consideration... alas, because there is no more evidence that the Space Programme is a hoax than there is evidence that the Space Programme is real, I don't believe in either. The Programme itself and the idea that it was a hoax, neither is credible, because there is no evidence to support either than can not be refuted.
I think there are about 3 people in the World who know the hoax is itself a hoax and thousands of people are suckered into believing it.

Hey. I am doing this right after all!

Interesting - you seem to suggest that the higher qualified amongst us are less susceptible to being duped.

When the opposite is more often true.

(GOAT, can you check that Airhead hasn't eaten Loz and taken over his account?)

Lol.

Are you truly equating engineers with "experts"? That's hilarious!

You know there's a difference, right?

Tell me you are kidding around and know there's a difference.

(GOAT, make him tell us he knows the difference.)
