(update stream)

I keep the feed muted until it gets close, buncha vapid stuff right now. We'll hear from better NSF & NASA people in a bit.

Nervous as fuck about this launch, I don't trust SLS at all.

GO FOR LAUNCH

… I supposedly saw the last Moon launch when I was a toddler, I don't remember that. 54 years since.

Please just do it right.

CLEAR LAUNCH!

The toilet saga on Artemis is *gripping*! They've managed to reboot & it seems to be nominal? But imagine if it wasn't! They'd have to do the Gemini/Apollo solution of throwing it out the hatch.

"We have over 900,000 lines of code"

That is not the statement of power you think it is, buddy.

They are now walking astronauts thru getting into BIOS & resetting a PC.

No course correction today, the TLI burn was dead on!

Apparently is a burning smell from the toilet.
CAPCOM: "We're comfortable with you still using the toilet."

It is also *SO* cramped in there. You watch them weave thru each other, & they have 6 more days‽

@mdhughes we went from going to the moon on 4K of RAM to astronauts having to worry about whether or not USB boot is enabled on their computer

@crimsonfall @cinebox @mdhughes It's NASA so it very well could be Ada. We had to use it in my old lab.

@mdhughes I don't remember any of it. But we're here now, and that kinda *matters* doesn't it.

@bazbt3 @mdhughes Nobody believes me, but I watched and remember everything from Apollo 11 through 17, plus Apollo-Soyuz. My dad worked for a sister company of Rocketdyne and space launches were a Big Deal in our house.

Glad we’re going back. Just wish we’d done it 40 years ago.

@larand @mdhughes A Big Deal. Oh yes. :)
