I remember clearly the last day we launched humans beyond earth orbit in December 1972. I was very sad to see Apollo end. But I never in my wildest imagination conceived that it would be over half a century before we would even try again.

Wonder if there is a betting market on if they actually Launch on schedule

Probably but that so stupid. It could be delayed for weather or boats/planes breaching the stay out zone.

Wonder if our resident moon denier will drive down to the Cape Wednesday to watch the largest CGI effect in history?

I don't know but we are a little more than 48 hrs. of sending humans back around the Moon and it seems no one is talking about it.

Think it will get off the ground this time?

I don't know. Going to Space is hard. There are so many variables to make it happen.
I've been a space geek since I was a kid. I've seen launches scrubbed for everything from heavy cloud cover to boats sneaking into the stay out zone. To bad weather down range in abort zones.

It'll eventually happen where it's Wednesday or the day after etc...

Bet the traffic on the Space Coast will be insane today.

Today should be a national unity day for all Americans so I am taking a break from all political commentary (unless someone wants to accuse the US of „colonizing the moon“ of course )

Peace all! Godspeed Artemis II

Believe it or not, there are 1 or 2 engineers still at NASA that were part of the Apollo program. Passing the torch in progress. I can't imagine how they feel.
