Artemis II Launch - we're going back to the moon!

[timeshifter]

Hope you're watching the Artemis 2 launch today, at 6:42 PM. This is exciting and a big deal in my opinion. We're sending humans back to the moon. I know we're not landing on the moon this time, but they are going to go to the moon and orbit it a few times, and I understand they're going further out than any previous missions have gone.

So this is really exciting, and the launch is scheduled for later today, Monday, April 1st.

I saw it launch from Fort Myers, so wild. I was watching it on the phone and after take off, I looked in the sky to see if I could see it and then seconds later, there it was. 3 hours away!

Off topic but I'm ex RNZAF Royal New Zealand Air Force, last year the RNZAF got new C130J Hercs replacing our C130Hs'. Last year a group of about 20 of us retired personnel were able to get onto RNZAF Base Auckland and do a tour over the C130. So heres all the old buggas looking at this flash new aircraft and all taking photos of the flushing toilet that this aircraft has. The C130H had what was called a honeypot. It was a bucket behind a curtain.
