‘They never boarded’: egress baskets, cables and green screens

The claim

“Astronauts left on egress; the weightless video is faked.”

What is measured

Artemis I was uncrewed by design, so ‘astronauts left before launch’ is moot. The pad egress baskets are an abort system, not a launch exit. And continuous days-long microgravity can’t be done with cables or green screens. Artemis II flew crewed and was Navy-recovered in 2026.

What would show this is wrong

evidence that Artemis I in fact carried a crew who left via egress, or a demonstration that days of continuous, whole-body weightlessness can be faked with wires or compositing.

  2. Artemis I heat shield & the Artemis II crewed return. Artemis I (2022) was an uncrewed test (Moonikin + two mannequins); Orion reentered at ~25,000 mph (Mach 32, ~2,760 °C); NASA traced the link

  6. Independent stations tracked Orion during Artemis I. NASA’s Space Communications and Navigation program issued an open request and selected 18 participants to attempt to passively track the link
  7. Amateur reception of Orion’s S-band carrier. Orion’s main telemetry downlink runs on S-band near 2216.5 MHz. Amateur observers received it during Artemis I; one used two spare antennas from link
