I didn't know there was a tracker page. Cool. Thanks.
Oh, so NOW we like lens flares?
Those are real lens flares
It seemed relevant to the Artemis Mission.
I just watched that on YT was very interesting
They're having more troubles with waste plumbing
Before SLS, there was the Ares V concept, though COMET was what Mike Griffin really wanted:
A single launch scenario.

The Saturns—working moonships—were killed…and what took over the pads? A much ballyhooed tile-covered contraption that was going to be reusable and cheaper.
Uh-huh.
No hint of Lunar Starship…it is the hold up.
….as I knew it would be. Oh well…Starship can always be the scow needed to haul off Orion’s W/C contents.
A single launch scenario.

But could Starship go to the Moon, land and do a mission then return to Earth safely?
I remember reading a science magazine article at the time about all the competing proposals for the Space Shuttle and how the government ended up going for the lowest bid rather than the best or most versatile design.
But that's usually the way. Lowest bidder usually wins as long as they meet the brief
NASA wanted a much smaller design that would fly frequently and cheaply, but then the Pentagon waned in on it with the requirements to fly large spysats. That settled on the Rockwell design pretty quickly which just happened to be the most complicated device ever made and America lost the ability to make the mighty F1 engines and thus Saturn V. With SLS we’re still living with those bad choices. But.. to quote an old Star Trek episode “everything works”. Anyway feels nice not having to be nostalgic about space flight, finally.
Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover, Christina Koch, and Jeremy Hansen have now traveled further in space than any human in history.
What an incredible moment.

Moon joy!
well at least theres no alien civilazations and colonies on the moon since the last time earthlings went to the moon
