Can you see our Moon rocket lift off from your backyard? Skywatchers in Florida and southern Georgia will have a shot. Check out this map to see when you should look up! Artemis II is targeted to launch no earlier than April 1.

Another realization: Apollo 8 flew to the Moon on Christmas. Artemis 2 will fly to the Moon on Easter.

Artemis II Launch – Important Information for Residents & Visitors The Artemis II launch marks a historic moment as NASA prepares to send astronauts on a 10-day lunar flyby. We are excited to welcome visitors from near and far to experience this incredible event right here in Titusville and we will have extra personnel out in the field. Be sure to check out our video for important details and please take a moment to review the post-launch exit plan to help ensure a safe and efficient departure for everyone. Post-Launch Traffic Exit Plan To safely move large volumes of traffic out of the area, predetermined routes will be in place: •North of Harrison Street: Travel north to Garden Street, then west to I-95 •Sand Point Park / A. Max Brewer Bridge Area: Travel to SR-46, then west to I-95 •South of Harrison Street: Travel to Cheney Highway (SR-50) or SR-405, then west Important Traffic Notes: •Depending on traffic conditions, westbound traffic on Washington Avenue at Cheney Highway and SR-405 may be restricted, directing vehicles south toward Cocoa via SR-528 west. •The A. Max Brewer Bridge may close to vehicle traffic if pedestrian volume becomes too high. These measures are in place for everyone’s safety and to help move traffic as efficiently as possible following the launch. We ask for your patience, cooperation, and safe driving as we manage this historic event. Thank you for helping us make this a safe and memorable experience for all. #TitusvillePd #ArtemisII #NASALaunch #SpaceCoast #nasa #TitusvilleFL #LaunchDay #TrafficAlert #SafetyFirst

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.

If you were born after 19:45:58 UTC on December 19, 1972, you have not been alive during a time when a crewed lunar spaceflight was underway. This is approximately 75% of the global population. That could change as soon as Wednesday evening with the planned launch of Artemis II. Hundreds of thousands of people near Kennedy Space Center will see the launch with their own eyes and likely millions will watch live online. If you can't make it out in person, I hope you'll tune in and watch as NASA makes its first attempt to send Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover, Christina Koch, and Jeremy Hansen into space and around the Moon this week. It is not often you have the opportunity to witness a historic moment in real time. Please watch and soak it in, and after launch, look up at the Moon and smile knowing that our great return to the lunar environment is well underway. Godspeed, Artemis II!

When your opinions contradict the Bible, it's not the Bible that needs to change.

Eternity is way too long to be wrong about Jesus.

God is Good

When Christians take the Bible seriously, it’s usually not unbelievers who get annoyed… it’s lukewarm Christians that do.

Jesus didn’t come preaching tolerance; He came preaching repentance.

Lord, bring spiritual awakening to Iran. You have the power to bring real and lasting change.

Going to church doesn’t make you a Christian, but being a Christian should make you want to go to church.

After overnight data showed an interruption in helium flow in the SLS interim cryogenic propulsion stage, teams are troubleshooting and preparing for a likely rollback of Artemis II to the VAB at @NASAKennedy. This will almost assuredly impact the March launch window. @NASA will continue to provide updates as they become available.

Jeremiah 29:11 says, “For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope."

Stop looking for the perfect church. Instead, go worship the perfect God with a congregation of flawed people who need grace just as much as you do.

The other eleven disciples didn't completely reject the faith, and stop believing in Jesus for the rest of their life, because of the actions of Judas. If the actions of others wreck your faith, then you must honestly ask yourself, “Was I worshiping Jesus or people?"

"Not only so, but we also glory in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope." - Romans 5:3-4

There's plenty of people willing to disciple your kids for you. Kids can either be discipled by celebs, ideologies, and politics, or they can be discipled by you, the Gospel, and the church. Choose the latter. Don't subcontract your child's discipleship out to the world.
