Well, based on the launch price of $2,5 billion for the SLS, it’s payload capacity (to the moon) of 27500 kgs … the contents of a 13 oz jar of Nutella would be roughly $34,114 or so. And that’s without the weight of it’s container 😉 If it would be a glass, that would bump up it’s weight to ~21oz in weight, which would add additional $21009, for a total of §55123 for a 13oz glass of Nutella.

So the real question is: Who does consume a whole 13 oz jar of Nutella while being on a 10 day trip ?

But somehow I had the impression that it is a plastic container instead of a glass jar, so they saved at least a little for more important payload capacity.

Too bad, that would put the first finish astronaut into geostationary orbit then.

I would be fine with the minimum wage of 7.99 per kilometer traveled from mean sea level. Hell as a compromise I would be willing to start the measurement from LEO itself.

If required paying the minimum wage 7.99 per hour spent would also work.

Whatever is acceptable.

How and where can I start?

Which currency ? Minimum wage in Germany is currently at 13,90 € (~ $16.20) and will be 14,60 € (~ $17) at the start of next year.

Nevertheless, If someone ever has the opportunity to get into space while being on the job, I definitely would check for a high risk and hazard allowance at least (radiation, feasibility of catastrophic failure at launch and reentry into the atmosphere) and a night surcharge, in case of the 16 orbits the astronauts on the ISS, it’s night every 90 minutes.

But more importantly, if it is feasible to specify the location of the job - for instance at a specific site on the moon, the whole space ride could be classified as the commute, at least here in Germany we could get tax exemptions for the “Arbeitsweg” the (daily) commute to or from the workplace. For jobs that include traveling on the job, such as in transportation businesses, there aren’t any mileage allowances (“Kilometergeld” in Germany) unless the employees private car or public transportation is being used.

But back to topic, I guess Artemis IV, which would be the actual mission which would include a landing on the moon, is planned to launch in 2028. And I’m pretty certain that the crew would only include NASA astronauts. From the point of view as a German citizien that identifies himself as a citizen of the EU, currently there are only two Germans in the (rather small) pool of ESA astronauts (of only 11 over all) to which those tax exemptions and salary supplements may apply to. And I wrote a whole lot for essentially nothing 😆

I didn’t want to start a new thread. I think this fits in well here.

Just under a month after the “Artemis 2” crew landed, NASA has released a total of 12,217 images taken by the four astronauts during their flight around the Moon.

It’s tough here too. Go to view the results in an image gallery. Keep in mind that there are about 12,000 images

Even youtube is only letting me play stuff at 480p at the moment and I can normally play at 1080 with next to know issues so I think I will try a bit later and see if I can get to it, at the worst I can check them out tomorrow

Still can’t access but apparently they are working on organising and labelling them for NASA’s Image and Video library.
