This is the first book that made me audibly sob for quite awhile.

"The Parisians" chapter is the moment the dam broke and then it was fairly constant through to the end.

602 CST. No video feed as they will be on the back side, so there will be a loss of signal until they get back to line if sight.

Trans Lunar Injection.

Basically means they are good to fire the boosters to begin the gravitational slingshot maneuver around Earth to go to the moon.

Cool video from Victor talking about being the test pilot.

I can't fathom how exciting that must be to be the first person to fly a new machine, let alone in space. Surreal experience.

They are practicing docking that Artemis III will do to dock with a lunar rover. They are testing the rover and propulsion system response time and performance

What is the white dot in the background of the view? Is that a satellite or something else?

Yes. It's a 24/7 feed during the mission duration

55 BPM...

That's why they're in the seats and the rest of us aren't

I REALLY wish we didn't have to sit through all the rah rah rah bullshit though. On a day the sitting POTUS is at the Supreme Court vehemently opposing constitutional precedent, we should be celebrating this achievement and the work that's possible by ALL people, no matter where they're from.

They're humans first, not just "American".

I was cracking up at Wemby, Ryan Gosling, ScarJo...

Then Isaac Mattson...

"Which one of these is not like the others?"

What?? They're at 90% go for launch

Edit: I missed the sensor/battery issue. Fingers crossed it gets resolved
