Artemis II launch

Hergé

As a kid I was fascinated with all things space related. I distinctly remember getting home from school and watching the Challenger launch in 1986, you can imagine just how devastated I felt when it exploded.

I was watching breakfast news this morning and the Artemis II launch was shown. I was quite surprised by just how emotional I felt. Thankfully they made it into orbit and will hopefully complete their mission and return home safely.

I would love to see a launch in person, the noise would be incredible.

Hopefully the return to space will endure. I'm sure it will rekindle my interest anew.

  • Having been to Space Center Houston and seeing the moon landing mock-up I really think they filmed the moon landing.

    If after 60 years of space flight with the advance of computing, engineering and tech - why haven't they been back ? maybe they never got there 

    So the grainy tv picture of the day are no longer - now with 4K TV can we expect a CGI creation in a few years time ?

    Strong evidence, both pro and con.

    Yes, there was the ability to phone, to the Moon, being a doozy. However, the United States Government has access to technology TWENTY-FIVE YEARS in advance of public sale. Back, twenty years ago, George W Bush had access to to 1T Broadband Speed; we still don't even have such speed now, even with Fibre Optic.
