"Orion moonship fires up its engines to leave Earth behind" by @cosmiclog / @alanboyle - #NASA #Artemis2 highlight of flight day 1 was translunar injection #TLI rocket burn to add speed to leave Earth orbit & fly around the Moon. Problems fixed including a pump on the space toilet that needed water. Alan linked to an article he wrote 13 years ago as NBC Science Editor on how Apollo 10 showed NASA's need for a real toilet. https://cosmiclog.com/2026/04/02/orion-moonship-fires-up-its-engines-to-leave-earth-behind/ #NASA #Artemis2 #Artemis #Moon🌕️️ #Orion #space

I missed #Artemis 2 #TLI event because I was sleeping (1:30 am here), but now I can't sleep no more (stagional illness, cough, the usual things...), so I opened the stream to see what's going on, and it seems they are about to stream directly fromt he capsule!

Translunar Injection #TLI burn complete. NASA mission coverage reports "looks like a good burn". This positions Orion to fly by the Moon and return to Earth without an additional de-orbit burn. #NASA #Artemis2 #Artemis #Moon🌕️ #Orion #space

Translunar Injection #TLI burn has begun, according to NASA mission coverage. Burn time updated to 5min 50sec. This will commit Orion to fly by the Moon. This is planned to be precise enough that there will not be an additional de-orbit burn. #NASA #Artemis2 #Artemis #Moon🌕 #Orion #space

This old space nerd is looking forward to hearing a capcom tell the Artemis II crew the words that haven’t been sent up to a spacecraft since the early hours of December 7, 1972:

“You are GO for TLI.”
