Today is April 1st but it's also launch day for the Artemis II mission! We are finally preparing to launch people to Moon for the first time since the end of the Apollo missions.
God speed to the brave souls onboard!

Artemis II launched successfully, I am so glad I got to see this.

TLI went as planned, so Artemis II is definitely on it's way now. This is sweet.

Did their "translunar injection burn" (if I have that correct) and are on their way to the Moon and back. Apparently it's physics steering from here on in.
Brought back memories of watching the Apollo missions in my distant childhood. I did not think it would take this long to go back.

I wasn't paying attention in the lead up to this and didn't realise this was a manned mission.
This is awesome.

Re: Artemis II launch countdown
So apparently the $20 million space toilet is broken.
That's gonna be one smelly space capsule by the time it gets back.

Say, do you want it to be a threesome with your wife? Or a foursome with your wife and sister-in-law? I'm up for either.

Re: Artemis II launch countdown
And it's broken again.
https://www.cbc.ca/news/science/artemis ... -9.7153491
But not fully broken, they can still take a dump in the toilet but peeing is out because the drainage lines are iced up. Astronauts are gonna be peeing into bags until they get back to Earth or the drainage lines unfreeze.
Assume an average amount of pee per person, so about 1.5 litres per day or 6 litres total and that's about 60 litres of urine floating around in the capsule by the time it lands. That's gonna be one hell of a mess if the pee bags leak or explode during re-entry.

All it means is that they down to Apollo bathroom tech. Not something they wouldn't be ready for.

Re: Artemis II launch countdown
It's an amusing note that the Artemis II crew barely acknowledged Trump yesterday while being pretty vibrant today with Canada's PM Carney.
I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro's great stumbling block in his stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen's Counciler or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate, who is more devoted to "order" than to justice; who constantly says: "I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I cannot agree with your methods of direct action"; who paternalistically believes he can set the timetable for another man's freedom; who lives by a mythical concept of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait for a "more convenient season."

The moon hoaxers seem to have gone mostly quiet but the flat nuts are having a conniption fit. Not only can't they accept it went into orbit they scream the return has too be fake and claim things like AI generated video.
