New photo of Earth taken from Artemis II.

The astronauts' view right now. Artemis II reaches aphelion. After this, it will drop back to Earth where it will perform its TLI burn that will send it to the Moon.

Artemis II launches today so I've mapped out the detailed flight path for those interested NASA won’t show you this level of detail

LFG!

Wow. The first Canadian on a lunar mission. What a historic day!

This photo was taken by the crew of Apollo 17 19,473 days ago. If everything goes well, we should have a new one in 6 days.

The coolest orbital animation I've seen of Artemis 2 Just really shows you how far away they're flying today and also how precise they need to be to go to the moon

I’m pretty certain NASA uses the metric system…

We go back to the Moon today!

Properly scaled diagram of the journey of Artemis II. Inertial frame of reference. No, the mission won’t land, but it will be going a tremendous distance from Earth. The green circle is the ISS orbit… Made it for this article: planetocracy.org/p/artemis-ii-i…

Artemis II's approx 10 day journey using a hybrid free-return trajectory

Artemis II: For the first time since 1972, the clock at the Kennedy Space Center is counting down towards a crewed mission beyond Low Earth Orbit. Liftoff is targeted for Wednesday at 6:24 PM EDT (22:24 UTC), with a 2 hour launch window. NSF will bring you live stakeout coverage starting 7:24 AM EDT Wednesday.

It's ridiculous that NASA is launching a mission around the Moon this week that will send humans farther into space than ever before and it's getting almost no attention. A landmark moment in the history of our species. History books will care about this moment even if you don't.

Artemis II is scheduled to launch on Wednesday evening.

PROJECT HAIL MARY in IMAX 70mm, taken by projectionist Taylor Umphenour. This is what the movies were made for.

Jax Forrest finished high school in December, wrestled half a collegiate season, and just capped it off as a true freshman national champion. Insane.

Rocco just has no offense

These are some cheap-looking NCAA Wrestling Championship belts! My fantasy football league has a nicer championship belt!

Penn State has 164 points and have obviously locked up the title. The record of 177 points is well within striking distance for the Nittany Lions who have 6 finalists. Each win is 4 points, major is +1, TF is +1.5 and Pin is 2. So lots of combinations to get over 177, but 4 champs locks in a new record.
