Artemis II

Perfect launch. I was excited to watch. First manned moon flight since 1972. The company I work at provided some fuel controls that I have done some minor work on. I hope every thing goes fine and all four astronauts return safely.

Loved it! US rockets for research! Hoping this test flight is a great success.

Good thing they got the toilet fixed…..peeing off the back porch isn’t an option in space.

About frigging time! I could never understand NASA and other world wide space agency's obsession with Mars. With all the moneys spent on landers ,rovers,etc over the past 50 or so years we could have a thriving colony on the moon making money for whatever. In addition, we could be launching all those probes from the moon at a lot less money trying to get out of a gravity well that is earth. It wasn't like Mars was going anywhere. To heck with searching for signs of life. Humanity needs to get off earth and the moon is a ready made life boat.
