The countdown to the Moon is ON! 🚀🌕
NASA confirms all systems are GO for #ArtemisII. After years of prep, we’re less than 24 hours from seeing humanity return to deep space.
đź“… Launch: April 1, 6:24 PM ET
🚀 Crew: Wiseman, Glover, Koch, & Hansen
🛰️ Status: 80% favorable weather
This isn't just a test flight; it’s the bridge to our future on the Moon and Mars. Who else is staying up for this historic moment?

I've a live stream of the event on my website Canavu.com. Just look for Canavu Starline News for a live stream of the event.
Godspeed, Artemis II! đźŚ
To Jeremy Hansen, Reid, Victor, and Christina: You carry the dreams of a planet with you. Canada is beaming with pride to see a Maple Leaf heading toward the lunar horizon.
Wishing the entire NASA and CSA team a "nominal" countdown and a safe splashdown in the Pacific.
Ad Astra! 🚀🌕

For the Fedi-Space Fans đź”
Mastodon has always been a hub for space enthusiasts (shoutout to the #Spacestodon community!).
Whether you’re on astrodon.social, spacey.space, or your local instance, this is our "Apollo moment." We’re moving from visiting the Moon to staying there. Artemis II is the bridge to Artemis III—the actual landing.
The "Moon Mascot" 🧸
The crew isn't going alone! They’re bringing "Rise," a small plushie designed by a student from California. As the "Zero-G Indicator," Rise will be the first to let the crew know they’ve officially reached weightlessness. It’s a beautiful nod to the "Earthrise" photo from Apollo 8.

The Distance: They will travel farther from Earth than any human in history—roughly 10,300 km (6,400 miles) beyond the far side of the Moon. https://youtu.be/IqcuV11xp0U

Why Artemis II Matters 🌕
Unlike Artemis I (which was uncrewed), this is the ultimate "stress test" for the Orion spacecraft and the Space Launch System (SLS) rocket.
Life Support: For the first time, Orion's environmental systems will be keeping humans alive in deep space.
The Trajectory: They’ll use a "free-return trajectory," meaning Earth’s gravity will naturally pull them back if something goes wrong.
