Artemis I going to the Moon?

[ABMax24]

6 years after it's originally proposed launch date, NASA's Artemis Spacecraft is finally launching to the moon on August 29th. The first flight will be un-manned but will hopefully allow humans to return to the moon over 50 years after Apollo.

Watching that video looks like they already did it. Can’t tell fact from fiction anymore.

You can tell this is real though. Cause it looks so fake. -Elon musk

Stanley Kubrick much? lol

I'm not sure if they went or not, but I loved the interview of Neil Armstrong on Johnny Carson where he says "you watched a movie" or something along the lines. I don't know whether they went or not but how did they film it and transmit to earth live.

I'm pumped they're going

Launch postponed? Fuel leaks and possible crack this morning

 

[ABMax24]

Yeah, the launch has been scrubbed. Issues with engine #3.

Next launch opportunity is Sept 2.

Musk must be laughing.

The moon landing was a movie produced by James Cameron! But he’s such a stickler for details he made sure it was done on location! Lol

[ABMax24]

Off to a great start, at least 1 hydrogen leak already repaired. Might be a rocket, or a giant bomb.

 

[niner]

Will it be visible here in Alberta?

 

[ABMax24]

No, not at all. Launching from Kennedy Space Center in Florida. Live online though.

Looks like the launch time was moved up, 10:35pm MST (Alberta time)
