Well, if all things are a go… the Artemis is scheduled for launch around 6:24 eastern time.
This rocket is said to be more powerful than the Saturn which was used during the Apollo program.

I’d love to be there just to hear those engines roar.

Another deception...

If launch was near or after dark would be able to see it from here if clear skies and if a northeast launch trajectory.

Probably be too cloudy this evening to see from here at the state line.

Put your tin hat back on.....

Our country needs a national goal like a space program. Remember when kids looked up to astronauts and aspired to go into space? It was a good thing.

I wish my kids would have experienced watching the space shuttle launch on a television set that was rolled into science class like I did--even the Challenger explosion--which I watched live in Ms. William's class.

I don't know much about this launch because I've been slammed at work but I will certainly watch with the sons who are still at home.

Absolutely!

American pride!

MAGA!

When I was in Grade 7 our science teacher put Star Wars on during lunch break in his classroom for a couple weeks.

It was pretty cool.

The United States did put humans on the moon.
If the United States was unsuccessful,, then Russia would never have abandoned the race.
The moon landing took THOUSANDS to make it possible… if it was all a charade,,, someone would have blabbed.. people like to talk and become famous from writing books.
The single most powerful piece of evidence are the refraction mirrors that were placed on the moon during the Apollo missions.
Every observatory on earth, is able to project lasers to them… they are important for studying earth to moon distances.

I’m a space nerd so definitely looking forward to it

Can you believe some people even believe the earth is round too???

I pray that all goes well. We do not need another national embarrassment.

That does sound cool. Did they wheel the TV in on one of those carts?

We should start a new thread on which is the best Star Wars and why.

Yup, the tv came in on a cart and vhs player on the shelf underneath the tv. That was the only time I have watched the Star Wars movies.

What were the other national embarrassment(s)?

Those carts were awesome! I loved the 10-15 minutes it took the teacher to figure out what cord went where to get what they wanted on the screen. Free time!!!

Heck ya!!

Was at the tax preparer today and he was watching the moon launch prep, then he showed me pictures of the challenger explosion he witnessed from his house....Another friend that lived there for awhile commercial clamming in sight of the launches said the sound was so loud he could feel the vibration and shock through his body...

Said he felt like a dinosaur, tonging clams with 16 th century technology while watching a moon launch....lol
