Artemis II

[MrSwerve]

I wasn’t alive for the moon landings, so I’m finding all this rather exciting. They’re now out of Earth orbit and on their way towards the moon.

(Save your conspiracy theories!)

Lovely to have something positive and exciting on the news for a change.

Ai
It's all being done in an underground studio just off Cwmbwrla roundabout.

Strapping myself into that rocket is something way out of my comfort zone; being the first person to try something doesn’t appeal to me, happy to let others go first. Fascinating science though.

The numbers are mind boggling for this mission. Artemis ll was filled with 2.6 million litres of fuel. Estimated spend on the mission $107 billion.

I wasn't aware of the huge scale of collaboration with the European Space Agency with this mission. Just not picking that up with BBC (might have missed something). Anyway......https://www.esa.int/Science_Exploration/Human_and_Robotic_Exploration/Artemis_II_mission_begins

Bet they didn’t have to queue at Tesco to fill up like I did this morning.

Bet they could see the queue from space.

Neil Armstrong first stepped onto the surface of the moon on my 16th birthday in 1969. That has been an extremely fond memory and makes me feel a very , very small part of an unforgettable day.

Bet you didnt fill the tank with $3 million worth of unleaded neither.

When I saw the launch on the news yesterday, my first thought was it takes some balls to strap your arse to a tank containing 2.6 million litres of highly explosive rocket fuel while someone else lights the fuse.

They could have taken Trump and Nety with them and dropped them off on the moon, I'd add Starmer and Reeves as well
