·Cool stuff. One of my wife’s former coworkers is working on the Artemis program. “Testing” mostly the hardware for tools they use in flight nothing flight specific so to speak. It’s a company in my state the astronauts actually travel here to train on the tools during 2nd shift. It appears they go for days without sleep even in training.
I didn’t get any top secret information other than after 72hrs without sleep the couldn’t properly calibrate the one of the particular tools they would be using but it became kind of a joke as I guess it was made not to work right to test their frustration levels.
Anyway he is quite pleased with his job we will be going out for dinner again I’m going to get my moon swatch in space one way or another.

··"I cut it TWICE and it's still short!"9 mins after launch, in orbit 18k mph. Wild ride.
Such a great launch.
Edit:
Love the new camera gear

·Definitely a cool moment watching the launch and continuing to watch the live feed. Find it extremely interesting after watching a lot of documentaries on the space race,different launches, and deep dives into individual missions, seeing it live is a totally different experience.
Was also on a text thread with guys from my German Marksmanship Club (shooting Olympic 10m Air rifles/pistols) and their thoughts on watching the Apollo missions live at the time and now seeing the Artemis launch.

··Ash @ ΩFIt’s a really surreal feeling that there are humans on the way around the moon for the first time since an era when the entire computer power of the craft was less than that of the new X-33s

I'm not sure if y'all would find this interesting, but this is what is flying on Artemis II! Wheee!
Curious to see if anyone took his Breitling Navitimer Cosmonaute as an extra wrist watch...
Those new space suits surely have lots of pockets... 😉

·Indeed, TLI Trans-Lunar Injection burn was successfull and there might be a OTC Orbital Trajectory Correction burn but the spacecraft is heading to the Moon with a speed of 10000 Km/hour.
NASA announced Artemis III is going to be a testflight for the lunar lander in Low Earth Orbit comparable to Apollo 9 in March 1969.
