Wednesday afternoon, we’re strapping four people to the top of a giant explosion-on-a-stick and hoping we can get ‘em to whip around the moon a few times before falling back down. I’ve seen oddly little excitement or even news about this. We’re going back to the moon! Sure, best-case scenario for this launch is orbiting, not landing, but it’s the furthest off this rock we’ve attempted to go in my lifetime.
Norwescon early arrivals: Launch is scheduled for “no earlier than” 6:24 p.m. EDT, which is 3:24 p.m. here. If I’m done running errands and am in my hotel room, I may be up to hosting a small watch party for those who aren’t otherwise busy with setup at that time (unless, of course, someone with a suite wants to host). I’ll post if I do decide to do this. If not, find a TV or a livestream somewhere!
