Around the Moon and Back in Ten Days There is a rocket on Launch Pad 39B in Florida. 98 meters tall. 2.6 million kilograms. It leaves the ground April 1st with four people aboard. They will fly around the Moon and be home in ten days. No human has done anything like it since December 1972. Victor Glover will be the first person of color beyond low Earth orbit. Christina Koch the first woman. Jeremy Hansen the first non-American to reach the Moon’s vicinity. Commander Reid Wiseman, a single father, told his daughters: four people on Earth get to fly around the Moon right now. He could not say no. On April 6 they circle the Moon at 6,000 miles. It will look like a basketball held at arm’s length. On the way home they hit 25,000 miles per hour. Farthest. Fastest. Ever. They will not land. That comes later. Apollo 8 first, then Apollo 11. Same logic. Prove the capsule. Trust the capsule. Then trust your life to it on the surface. Four people. Ten days. No landing. The most important test flight since Chuck Yeager broke the sound barrier. It leaves the pad Wednesday. Gandalv / @Microinteracti1














Howard Lutnick: The states run these elections. If they want to use the U.S. Postal Service, they're going to get a barcode from the USPS, and they're going to put that on the envelope, and we will have one envelope per vote.
