> === THE FINAL 24 HOURS === <The Orion spacecraft is now within 50,000 miles of the moon. There's less than a day before they arrive.>Artemis II MissionArtemis II NASA's first crewed mission to the Moon in over 50 years. Launched on April 1, 2026, the four-person crew is currently on a ~10-day lunar flyby mission aboard the Orion spacecraft. This is the first time humans have traveled beyond low Earth orbit since Apollo 17 in 1972. The flight is testing systems for future lunar landings.>Live Coveragehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m3kR2KK8TEshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6RwfNBtepa4>Mission Trackershttps://www.nasa.gov/missions/artemis-ii/arowhttps://artemis-ii-tracker.comhttps://issinfo.net/artemis.html>The CrewReid Wiseman (Commander) - Navy test pilot and former ISS astronaut.https://www.nasa.gov/people/reid-wisemanVictor Glover (Pilot) - Navy aviator, first black astronaut to live aboard the ISS, and Crew-1 pilot.https://www.nasa.gov/humans-in-space/astronauts/victor-j-gloverChristina Koch (Mission Specialist) - Record holder for longest single spaceflight by a woman (328 days).https://www.nasa.gov/people/christina-kochJeremy Hansen (Mission Specialist) - Canadian Space Agency astronaut, fighter pilot and physicist.https://www.asc-csa.gc.ca/eng/astronauts/canadian/active/bio-jeremy-hansen.asp>What is Orion?Orion is NASA's deep space exploration spacecraft designed to take humans to the Moon and beyond.

>>532492803That's a nice moon you got there.Now look at this moon
>>532492671Not leaving the footstool, space-fag.
I hope they double checked their staging?
>>532493185>>532493198>>532493217>>532493236
Hope they get some good shots of the far side.
What is that?
>>532496164The bag of pot or the artemis plushie from sailor moon?
>>532496878Green stuff
>>532496917That epstein kush
45,000 miles...
>>532492671>This is the first time humans have traveled beyond low Earth orbit since Apollo 17 in 1972. This is pretty awesome. Perhaps the age of stagnation is over.
>>532500110It's kind of sad how little /pol/ cares desu. I've found it to be really cool.
>>532494100they won't, most of the far aide will be dark because they launched at a retarded time of the month
Does anyone believe this? I will once the Chinese do it. NASA is very suspect
>>532492671They should throw the nigger out the airlock once they are in lunar orbit so their can be a dead nigger on the moon.
Fake and gaySpace not even exist, the world is infinite
>>532500874Maybe a longer exposure?Well at least some of it will be partially illuminated.
>>532492671
They just did a burn
>>532492789Windows on spaceships is a joke. All the heat in the capsule will escape through them.
bumping for interest
>they're gearing up to take pictures of the moonThey're going to be way, way closer to the moon than LRO ever got during this flyby, which means these actually going to be the best pictures of the moon in ages (aside from the lander snapshots)
IM JUST NOT GOING TO BELIEVE THIS IS REAL HAHA, I KNOW, I KNOW! IM JUST NOT GONNA DO IT!
>>532500231because it’s not fucking real
>>532503023They should've gone with Linux.
JUST SHOW US THE STARS AND THERE WILL BE AN END TO THE HORROR
>>532494008>believing jewish lies>americanchecks out
>>532503023Stop being a faggot
>>532501814Cool headcanon Ahmed. Might be a neat setting for a fantasy fiction universe.
>>532502950What if the moon lost its gravity and they just keep flying into space lol
>>532504527It would be very dangerous.
>>532504527they'll return due to earth's gravity still being there
>>532500231You have to understand that this board became extremely brownified over the last few years. The only reason these subhumans are mad and trying to gaslight each other into thinking space is fake is because America did it. If it was China or Russia that did it they'd be posting about it non-stop and gloating about it just so they can exploit it for the anti-America propaganda value. It's all just cynical anti-Americanism at the end of the day.
Good luck and godspeed explorers
One guy was talking about the moon's description a few minutes ago. They can see it really well, even if the recording is shitty atm.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m3kR2KK8TEs
COME TO THE ACTUAL THREAD>>532492671>>532492671>>532492671
>>532504731Yeah, isn't space a white man's hobby? /pol/ talks about white greatness, but they ignore or deny this, one of white man's greatest achievments.
>>532504897You're thinking of old /pol/. This board has been overrun with jealous brownoids and anti-white/anti-west communists from reddit and elsewhere.
>>532505046That's sad. I miss the old internet.
>>532496917grapes?
The nigger is going to chimp out. The toilet problems and heat shield failure are just the beginning.
>>532504897>Yeah, isn't space a white man's hobby?Better start pulling those star trek toys out of your ass, faggot.
>>532500231it is cool and I care. lots of people care, it's just that the stagnation has been going for so long, we've already done missions like this before and the hope for future missions is extremely low. They still haven't built the fucking lander either, and gateway was just cancelled. NASA being a clown show ruins a lot of the hype that should exist.
space is real and fucks
Kek
>>532505552gateway was a meme that just overcomplicated the missions, it's better like thisthey should also go ahead and drop the SLS meme while they're at it when Starship is finally ready, it would be a lot simpler and cheaper to have a single vehicle
>>532501677I'm sure a Chinese spaceship heading to the Moon will work out about as well as the HQ-9 defense systems they sold Venezuela and Iran.
Before you, only 24 people have reached this moon. If you speak to anyone about this conversation or what you have seen over here, we will have no choice but to initiate the safeguard.Do you know what the safeguard is mr Glover?
>>532492671Nobody gives a fuck about your Star Trek fantasy you tranny.
>>532501677This. They can’t even decide whether to add stars or not to their pictures.
>>532493185Too many chromosomes>>532493185Aging cat lady>>532493217Zesty ass nigaa>>532493236Divorced dad who hits on 20 year olds
>>532506355Anon....
>>532503510Nope, because they timed the flyby to happen during lunar night for some reason. They will be in total darkness at the nearest approach
>>532506365>Divorced dad who hits on 20 year oldsB-based?
>>532500231bc it's just some stupid flybyI guess it's cool but we want bases and boots on the groundalso there's like 2 wars going on that keep people's attention in case u haven't noticed
These days I watch the moon from the window and I feel some kind of romance, thinking there are 4 people going around it in this exact moment>>532504731This is cope sadly, there is a lot of stupid people that aren't third worlders
>>532506415https://www.nasa.gov/news-release/nasas-artemis-ii-mission-leaves-earth-orbit-for-flight-around-moon/>During a planned lunar flyby on Monday, April 6, the astronauts will take high resolution photographs and provide their own observations of the lunar surface, including areas of the far side of the Moon never seen directly by humans. Although the lunar far side will only be partially illuminated during the flyby, the conditions should create shadows that stretch across the surface, enhancing relief and revealing depth, ridges, slopes, and crater rims that are often difficult to detect under full illumination.
You have 40 minutes of time away from your Nasa handlers. Wyd?
>>532492671Why isn't there a single photo of the Artemis II capsule from another satellite on orbit? I can't even one. Are you telling me not a single, commercial satellite operator thought it would be a good idea to snap a photo of the Artemis mission from space considering the "historic" nature of the mission?
>>532506584sexo
>>532505804I said the same thing in another thread. Thats why NASA didnt land this timeId eat my words if even one Artemis Astronaut films a LIVE video of themself then films out the window showing earth, sun, and the moon.
>artemis, houston: “shitters full”actual footage btw
>>532492671God bless Donald J. Trump and fuck Iran.
>>532506771cant make this shit up, literally
kek they're talking about the toilet
>>532492671>launched on April 1st>launched on April 1st >launched on April 1st>launched on April 1stif you haven’t learned anything yet, they love numbers/dates/anything symbolic. Best day to launch another 75 year space stop? April fools! >ISSthe real story is them having to bring the ISS down not this fake moon bullshit
>>532492671Space Is real but we have never been to the moon
>deorbitinghttps://www.scientificamerican.com/article/nasa-must-delay-deorbiting-the-iss-u-s-lawmakers-say/
>>532506611stop asking leading questions
>>532492671Any pics from outside the vehicle are obviously fake and gay. Tyey oughtta had space photo drones to photo the space around them.
