@coreyspowell Boring. We've seen this in 1968 #Apollo8.

The closest #Apollo mission to #Artemis2 was #Apollo13. In #Apollo8, the crew went into #orbit around the #Moon (and did ten orbits) whereas the current mission will be a #Swingby as the craft is on a free-return trajectory so there’s no need for a #TransEarthInjection burn or #TEI. Of course Apollo 13 only did that because of the accident. The current crew will be much higher above the lunar surface than former missions.

Jim Lovell Jr. starb am 7. Juli 2025 im Alter von 97 Jahren. Leider konnte er Artemis 2 nicht mehr erleben.
Er flog zweimal zum Mond, mit Apollo 8 (und brachte das legendäre Foto "Earth Rise" mit) und mit Apollo 13, das wegen eines Lecks im Sauerstofftank des Apollo-Raumschiffs zwar den Mond umrundete, aber nicht landen konnte.

@Earl They will not only see the Dark Side of the Moon, but might also see a total eclipse of the sun. (What a gorgeous experience to Pink Floyd's music!)

And I expect new pictures of earth rise, like Apollo 8 took in December 1968.

Wishing all the astronauts for #artemis2 good luck. This mission should be used for achieving the progression of mankind, through peace and true collaboration of nations, as it was for the #apollo8 mission, not submission or intimidation.

In "A Trip to the Moon", a 1902 film by Georges Méliès that I discussed with my students yesterday, the space travellers fly to the moon with a rocket carrying a passenger lander. That anticipates the form of the Apollo 11 landing on the moon with a rocket and a
