NASA Launches 1st Manned Rocket to the Moon In 50 Years: the Artmetis II

[LUNATIC666]

we are not going anywhere, its just a distraction, to what is really going on in the world..

if you really believe that we have landed on the moon, and been to space, good for you..

I want tojo and a pajeet, now nigger!

If we had been there we would have started migrating there by now, or at the very least had started exploiting it for money somehow.
...anyway , everyone knows it's a hollow metal ball being driven by a crew of Nazis.

Artemis II Launch Day - First Mission to Moon in 50 Years​

Apr 1 2026

"The Orion spacecraft’s SAWs (solar arrays wings) have fully deployed, completing a key configuration step for the Artemis II mission. Flight controllers in Houston confirmed that all four wings unfolded as planned, locking into place and beginning to draw power.

Each solar array wing extends outward from the European Service Module, giving Orion, named Integrity, a wingspan of roughly 63 feet when fully deployed. Each wing has 15,000 solar cells to convert sunlight to electricity. The arrays can turn on two axes that allow them to rotate and track the Sun, maximizing power generation as the spacecraft changes attitude during its time in Earth orbit and on its outbound journey to the Moon.

The next major milestones are the PRM (perigee raise maneuver) and ARB (apogee raise burn) that will increase the lowest and highest points of the Orion spacecraft’s orbit and prepare the spacecraft for deep‑space operations.

Following the burns, NASA will hold a postlaunch news conference at 9 p.m. from Kennedy Space Center in Florida. Following the news conference, the Artemis II crew will begin preparations for Orion’s proximity operations demonstration. This demonstration will test the ability to manually maneuver Orion relative to another spacecraft, in this case, the interim cryogenic propulsion stage after separation.

Coverage on NASA+ will soon conclude, however 24/7 coverage will continue on NASA’s YouTube channel, and keep following the Artemis blog for live updates of key milestones throughout the mission.

Artemis II Launch Director Charlie Blackwell-Thompson conducted one of the most important steps before liftoff: the “go/no-go” poll for the team to proceed with the final 10 minutes of the countdown known as terminal count.

A unanimous “go” across the board signals that Artemis II is fully prepared to proceed toward launch. This moment represents the culmination of years of planning and hours of meticulous pre-launch work, bringing the mission to the threshold of history. " Source

I live about 100 miles south of the launch and was able to go up on a roof and see the launch for about 3 - 5 seconds due to it being mostly cloudy… awesome site…

good

 

[Smokinrav]

Nice way to waste billions. Even i love space and astronomy, and love watch this, its just huge waste on an entertainment.

Yeah, totally not worth it. A congressional boondoggle.

Except...

We wouldn't be having this conversation without it.

Key Benefits and Milestones by Era

1950s-1960s: Foundations & Imagery

1957: Launch of Sputnik 1 (first artificial satellite), initiating global telecommunications, tracking, and orbital monitoring.

1959: First weather satellite (Vanguard 2) and first photo of Earth from space (Explorer 6), launching meteorological forecasting.

1960s: Development of digital computing for spaceflight (Apollo program), paving the way for modern microprocessors.

1970s-1980s: Remote Sensing & Imaging

1970s: Launch of Landsat program, providing essential data for land management, agriculture, and environmental tracking.

1970s: Development of water filtration systems, later adapted for purifying water in developing regions.

1980s: Commercialization of space began with private launch providers, reducing costs for communication satellites.

1990s-2000s: Global Connectivity & Discovery

1990s: GPS (Global Positioning System) becomes fully operational, enabling global navigation.

1990s: Launch of Hubble Space Telescope, providing revolutionary insights into cosmology.

2000s: Continuous operation of the International Space Station (ISS), facilitating microgravity research on materials, biology, and human health.

2010s-Present: Commercial Spinoffs & Deep Space Exploration

2010s: Advancement of private space industry (e.g., SpaceX), significantly decreasing launch costs and launching mega-constellations like Starlink for global internet.

2020s: Artemis program (moon-to-Mars) drives innovations in life support and in-situ resource utilization.

Bullshit and lies

Agreed, just like Trump losing the 2020 election.

Well Floyd had plenty of experience in flying high, just not aboard rockets.

Shame the fucker never had a space suit or maybe he'd breathe better

 

[SirCelestial]

Cool stuff. Heard their toilet malfunctioned but were able to fix it. Would of been one shitty ride around the moon if it stayed broken. Pun intended.

 

[THE Racist Messiah]

Thank you for the update @DeathHand . With all the problems here on earth, WHY?

Gotta know what those pesky chinks are doing on the far side of the moon

 

[Fäthër Cörpsë]

Agreed, just like Trump loosing the 2020 election.

You’re saying Trump didn’t lose the 2020 election?

I read it was the fart fan controller. That would’ve been a smelly condition to endure.

Yeas! Agree. I was just thinking about man on the moon projects. Are the benefits good enough, only to have a photo in man into moon. All the science can be made with remotely and probes.
BUT i am a fan of all things in space, so i love seeing man on the moon. Little bit a paradox.

Loose - Lose, Tomato - Tamato.
Figure if spell check can let it go so can every English professor on this site can also.

Two different words, two different meanings.

You didn’t answer my question: do you think Trump did not lose the 2020 election?

Absolutely, don't you? Or do all the failed court cases mean nothing.

Yes he lost in 2020. Thems the facts. Whether ppl want to admit it or not, that’s on them not me.
