That is a janky assed trajectory. How do they do the first Earth Orbit entirely north of the equator?

Sounds easy enough. They are even taking the scenic tour.

Hooray! It's Nov 16, 2022 in my world and Artemis I launched today.
Every time I see one of these kinds of clips on youtube I think of Star Trek II and the little video clip Dr. Marcus does for the Genesis project proposal. :-)

Why show a static system... the earth and the moon are dynamic no?

[Eckendenker]

Maybe Scott Manley can explain this trajectory. Doesn't make sense at first glance.

I like how it slingshots itself using the gravity of heavenly body. It is but humanities slingshot the David used to slung of the Goliaths of the great behemoth outside of human realm and possibly understanding. If only our pebbles and force where enough to slay every question of the human mind to the stars above.

What a joke. You can't land on a rainbow.

No se si creerme que el ser humano este ya tan mamao como para acer eso tan perfecto con un satélite cuando ni siquera podemos hacer coches electricos asequibles para todos

that trajectory. Are they showing the curve because the moon was stationary in the video or are they actually curving the trajectory? Not judging their calculations. They obviously know a lot better. I'm just a confused student

Well... quite bad animation frankly. The moon orbits the Earth, that fixed representation is quite spaghetti.

But, according to "moonlanding deniers" we can't reach the moon with today's technology... 🤣👍
