NASA: Artemis I [3 Sept 2022, Saturday, Launch info]
NASA ^ | 09/02/22

Posted on 09/02/2022 7:30:00 AM PDT by SES1066

All eyes will be on the historic Launch Complex 39B when the Orion spacecraft and the Space Launch System (SLS) rocket lift off for the first time from NASA's modernized Kennedy Space Center in Florida.

Artemis I will be the first in a series of increasingly complex missions to build a long-term human presence at the Moon for decades to come.

The primary goals for Artemis I are to demonstrate Orion’s systems in a spaceflight environment and ensure a safe re-entry, descent, splashdown, and recovery prior to the first flight with crew on Artemis II.

“They’ll spend a trillion dollars to get that first black woman on the moon”

The race to watch—who will win?

(1) Artemis landing astronauts on the Moon

(2) California completing the high speed rail train between Los Angeles and San Francisco

Great artist’s rendition.

How much of that came off of the Shuttle?

Used pinball machine parts!

What could go wrong?

And yet we’re told that 50 years ago we landed AND TOOK OFF FROM THE MOON (WITHOUT A SUPERSTRUCTURE HOLDING THE ROCKET STEADY) AND DID IT WITH COMPUTERS THAT COLLECTIVELY HAD LESS POWER THAN ONE OF TODAY’S IPHONES.

With a DSKY unit which was not working correctly, the AGC definitely appears to be a complete fake. But if this Apollo Guidance Computer was a joke it was because the engineers intended it to be so, and not because they were incompetent. The engineers placed incoherence absolutely everywhere. All the electronic interfaces were stuffed with intentional errors. Xavier Pascal

And...

Well, we had snow on the Summit yesterday morning.

And all the while I thought this Artemis thing was a piece o' cake.

Daffy from lala land. :)
