Which show was it where they were racing to Mars, two ships fighting to be the first country to plant a flag, one of them won, only to find North Korea were already there.

Anyway, yeah, that.

All I can think of when I hear Artemis

Surprise Starlink launch during my vacation

 

[prof]

Yay, more space junk scheduled to go up this week. I'm in Cocoa Beach atm, and enjoy watching launches, so looking forward to it.

 

[prof]

My phone camera sucks for this kind of thing, but launches are always really cool in person. You can feel the ground rumbling.

Artemis II rolls back out to the launchpad starting tonight.

Assuming it doesn't tip over on the way there, they are targeting an April 1st launch, the available launch window is a couple hours each day from April 1st until April 6th.

There are no plans to do another full fueling test or dress rehearsal as far as I know. The plan is to fuel it on launch day and as long as they don't encounter problems, they'll send it.

We are heading down, do Disney, do KSC, and hoping to see a launch, but at least will see it on the pad.

 

[StevenK]

I like to think I'm not superstitious in the slightest, but I'd still rather not climb on top of a missile on April 1st

 

[lithy]

No stopping allowed so taking pics out the window on the road to Playalinda Beach.

 

[Lagduf]

Hope they can launch on schedule and good on you for taking the family to see it.

Here is a running update on countdown procedures. Both stages are fueled and just being topped up as necessary to make up for evaporation. Currently doing crew closeout, crew is loaded in.

And the live NASA stream, I don't think it embeds because it is live.

Got a bit clearer pic and I'll stop for now, sky is clearing and weather is looking good, I think the main concerns are winds at the moment.

The NASA stream fucking sucked. Camera guy missed the liftoff and just stayed on the plume. Then during the rocket separation they cut away to the crowd!
