I really hope they have an airlock thing they can toss the phones out of if their batteries swell. untested hardware + known issues with batteries diverting terrestrial flights https://www.forbes.com/sites/suzannerowankelleher/2025/07/08/fire-delta-emergency-landing-lithium-battery/
in an oxygen rich env?

this whole mission is a litany of "it'll be fiiiiine just launch it so we can keep some semblance of a schedule."
I'm certain NASA already has batteries in station.

I don't know what you're trying to say.
this isn't the ISS, so no station involved. does artemis have an airlock?
my larger point of nassa has absolutely transported batteries before, and absolutely has procedures for storage and emergencies
they're not just hoping for the best.

not mass produced shitphone li-on batteries.
I'm hoping for no tragedies, you're assuring me everything's gonna be fine as they fly around the moon on the biggest boondoggle of a spacecraft ever planned, with their fucking camera phones lol.
NASA, not nassa, doesn't have a stellar record regarding this stuff so yo do you sparky. And don't bother replying, gonna block you.
this is a stupid conversation.
It's NASA, if they decide it's that much of a threat then they can have an intern frankenstein together an adapter for their own certified batteries in an afternoon.
today's NASA couldn't frankenstein a functioning SLS from the old parts of the entire shuttle series so far.
also, do you really think the concern is recharging the batteries? or replacing them with certified batteries? pfft. the concern is li-ons bloating then catching fire in a high oxygen env, and having NO WHERE TO PUT THE SMOULDERING SHITPILE.
swapping them before launch isn't going to happen in a month, they'll simply fly with the risk.
stupid risks that shouldn't be necessary.
Chill, buddy.
NASA has been flying batteries on manned missions for decades. If your all-caps nonsense were a real problem, then NASA could just use something other than lithium ion like NiCad.
Chill, buddy.
pfft ok kiddo
NASA has been flying batteries on manned missions for decades.
yeah how many lion batteries in cell phones have gone up. Feel free to use your fingers and toes to count if it helps lol.
numpty.
If your all-caps nonsense were a real problem, then NASA could just use something other than lithium ion like NiCad.
you ever swapped the li-on i a cell phone for something else? no. phones are tailored to the battery chemistry they're designed for. also, ever done it in a hasty rush to meet a launch schedule?
do you expect the battery monitoring system to suddenly work with a new battery chemistry?
goddamn bro, try harder ffs
What, precisely, are you suggesting is different about cell phone batteries that wouldn't also apply to the batteries in NASA's DSLRs and GoPros?
it's also you, no yo.
