So they are on their way home.

What an amazing feat. I cannot wait for the next few years as we send more and more stuff to the moon.

Great links… Thanks.

I really want to get my hands on the raw files, as some of the post processing is not the greatest!

Just finished watching the latest epsiode with Tyson and Greene and wow.

Orion Artemis 2 splashdown scheduled for 10:08am tomorrow morning with the official NASA coverage from 8:30am.

Scariest part of the whole mission for me with the issues encountered during Orions previous unmanned re-entry.

V3 Starship and super heavy static fire testing coming up in the next few days.

And Blue Origin is progressing with their Mark 1 Endurance moon lander. Hopefully will launch q3 this year.

Note that this isn’t a version of their Artemis HLS lander that will land on the moon. Cannot support human landings as built.

More of a test article for the future Mark 2 lander that will carry astronauts as a part of Artemis 4 or 5.

Ain’t it grand what humans and science can accomplish when it isnt being a complete basket case of fuckwittery as it too often ( and concurrently ) is.

Slightly concerning that no comms apparently working with the crew?
