> === THE CLOSEST APPROACH === <
The Orion spacecraft is now within 8,000 miles of the moon. Less than 3 hours until the closest approach.

>Artemis II Mission
Artemis 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.

Quotes from the current observations:
>“Something I just heard from the window team is ‘the more I look at the moon, the browner and browner it looks,’”
>“All the really bright, new craters — some of them are super tiny, most of them are pretty small — there’s a couple that really stand out, obviously, and what it really looks like is a lampshade with tiny pinprick holes and the light shining through,”
>“It looks completely different than the normal view we have of the near side,” Koch said. “It is the most striking feature of the west view that we had. Entire mountain chains that form its eastern side are very prominent, but they actually stand out more than I’m used to seeing even on the western side, and the whole thing just feels like a big bump. It actually looks like a large healing wound.”

Artemis II a trial mission, just as Apollo 8 moon orbital/flyby was in December 1968.
Apollo 9 was an Earth-only orbit trial of the Lunar Module.
Apollo 10 was a full rehearsal mission, with no descent to/ascent from lunar surface, journey to Moon orbit with CSM / Lunar Module docking
Apollo 11 was the first manned moonlanding.

Nothing such as this is ever done in 1 shot.

>“The terminator right now is just fantastic,” Glover said. “It is the most rugged that I’ve seen. From a lighting perspective, there are little islands. There are islands of terrain out there that are completely surrounded by darkness, which indicates some real variation in terrain. Up to the north, there is a very nice double crater. It looks like a snowman sitting there. And then on the southern edge, there’s almost like a hole. And then a wall of bright and then it goes back to the black beyond the terminator.”

If anons in this thread ever have access to a good telescope (6-8"+) or go to a night sky observing event, make sure you look along the terminator line. The coolest details are always along that line where you can see really sharp contrasts between hills and valleys, mountains and canyons and craters. For some of the really tall peaks you can actually make out the outlines of the mountains if your timing is right.

Everyone loves to give public R&D shit for wasting money on firsts/seconds/etc., but at the end of the day *someone* needs to do the really difficult shit that private companies won't justify doing because it's too expensive and will take too long.

The LHC confirmed the existence of theorized particles that determine why some stuff has mass and some doesn't, and the practical applications of that might not be apparent for a hundred years... but somebody had to do it for those practical applications to ever come about, and it wasn't going to be some private company that has no motivation to dump tens of billions of dollars and decades of construction into a purely scientific project.

the difference is that the islands are actually livable compared to the moon

also, if you want to go this route, then you must acknowledge that human death is inevitable with any exploration venture - BUT you all handle rockets with white gloves and expect no mistakes all. this makes any sort of progress very slow.

when people DO die on the moon or Mars, the question is: will you all keep with your exploration spirit?

I accept that. The general public is another matter. Every time we've lost astronauts the government shuts shit down for months or years to investigate and decide "whether it's worth continuing".

After the Apollo 1 fire operations were suspended for 20 months.
After Apollo 13 it was 10 months.
After Challenger it was 32 months.
After Colombia it was 30 months.
The entire fucking space program is 68 years old and we wasted 8 of those years sitting on our asses while Congress and the general public cried EEEEK! SOMEONE DIED! WE HAVE TO STOP THIS! IT'S NOT WORTH IT!

Yes, space is fucking hazardous.
Yes, we will inevitably lose people.
Yes, it is still worth doing.

Artemis III will be a docking test with the lander, Artemis IV will be the moon landing proper, followed by V the same year, and what they hope will be a continuous program akin to ISS rotating crews.

Serious but simple answer that I typed up for someone else:

The goal of Artemis is a successful test lunar fly-by that will lead to future missions where humans physically step onto the moon once again. They want to make sure they can pull off a slightly less ambitious mission first. It's been a long time. You can expect an actual manned lunar mission with Artemis IV. They're targeting 2028, it may be delayed though, as is typical with Nasa.

The Apollo program was a one time effort with tons of funding during the space race to beat the Soviets.
When it ended over 50 years ago, they shut everything down. The specialized assembly lines, custom machines, molds, jigs, tooling, etc. were scrapped/sold off.
Thousands of companies that supplied parts either went out of business or switched to other work. The remaining rockets were flown, used in tests, or turned into museum pieces. The engineers who had first-hand experience eventually retired or passed away.
We still have the blueprints, but it's like baking. Someone who's made the recipe dozens of times will almost always produce a better result than a first-timer following the exact same instructions.
Rebuilding takes time because we're designing/testing/certifying new systems from the ground up, using today's materials/computers/manufacturing/safety standards. The goal is, eventually, a permanent lunar base.

After we make it to Mars, it'll probably take a long time to get to other places. Ceres, Venus' upper atmosphere, Saturn's moon Titan, Jupiter's moon Callisto...after that, we're stuck in our solar system forever unless we figure out how to warp space-time.
>>
>>532562961
ask chatgpt

also they are going to land again, they say 2028 but im assuming there will be delays. but the plan now is to build a permanent base. there wasn't much point in going back until they were ready to build a base.

also the space shuttle was just absolute garbage that held nasa back for decades. space shuttle was supposed to be cheap access to space but it ended up being immensely expensive so they couldnt afford to do the "use the shuttle to build in orbit a spaceship to go to other planets" thing they planned for.

Have to wait until Artemis IV in 2028 for the landing attempt. Artemis III next year was supposed to be the landing but it was changed to an earth orbital docking mission instead to test the crew and landing modules.

Right, this time around with Artemis it's a different overall framing of the engineering and goals of the program. (Apollo back in the day was just 'land men on the Moon by end of decade')
Now with the newer launchers/rockets and spacecraft, computer technology, robotics it's a different approach, and with the goal of achieving a permanent-occupied manned 'station' on the Moon.

That's the main theory. A planet (Theia) around the size of mars hit the Earth very early on in its formation, forming the moon. The chunks of the Earth rotate around the earth and clump together. But it's not concrete, there are other theories.

yes it would have thrown them off the return path inclination-wise and inclination burns are a lot harder to get right than playing with the perigee

still orion has far more redundancies than apollo, orion has upgra precise ground ranging of their position and trajectory which apollo didnt have and orion has computers auto calculating burns and paths. they could have taken more risky paths in this mission
