giddyap 1,569 #3 Posted August 29, 2022 @Pullstart Before I went outside to paint I checked the mail and saw your notification. Clicked on the live youtube with 1:30 to launch and then the 30 minute delay. If the launch window passes then the launch will be Friday. 50th Anniversary of the last man moon mission Apollo 17 will be Dec 7 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

giddyap 1,569 #8 Posted August 29, 2022 (edited) According to the video "Artemis 1 Explained" will be unmanned to test the systems. go back to Dec 1968 Apollo 8 man mission will orbit the earth and test the lunar lander but the LEM is not ready New mission to orbit the moon surprises everyone and without the LEM that will in the future make Apollo 13 a "successful failure". Apollo crew are the first to see "Earth Rise" and more important gives the USA the first lead in the space race since it began in Oct 1957 Edited August 29, 2022 by giddyap add image 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

WHGuy413 2,683 #18 Posted September 6, 2022 Alex has been watching and waiting for this to take off. He was off from school every day they tried to launch it. He was bummed when it got scrubbed and pushed back to a later date. One thing about Alex is he loves space and rockets almost as much as wheel horses. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
