Artemis 2 Trajectory Animation

This is the path Orion and the Artemis 2 astronauts will take during their mission around the Moon in late 2024.

The Artemis 2 mission will have a crew of four. Three will be NASA astronauts: Reid Wiseman as commander, Victor Glover as pilot and Christina Koch as a mission specialist. The fourth crewmember is from the Canadian Space Agency: Jeremy Hansen as a mission specialist.

The selected crew include the first woman and person of color to fly to the Moon. Additionally, the Canadian astronaut will be the first person from a country other than the United States to fly into deep space.

Can’t wait to see the mission accomplished in the next months 🚀

So we went to the moon 60y ago but its seems hard to go there with new technology..im confused

[unbalconsurlavallee]

Yes but with a flat tire model please.

I want to see that HVAC system and them suits that do these Space walks so easily 👀👀👀👀👀👀 only been 60 years of the exact same question with no answer.

Im really excited for the colonisation of the moon

[abvmoose]

How about taking just ONE of the 8 rovers they sent to Mars over the past 30 years and instead just send it to the moon instead. They could remote it in near realtime and give us 4k video of Earth rotating around its axis in never before seen footage. I wonder why they won't do that....

I counted it’s a 20 day mission in total

I always will say Apollo no matter how dangerous was way cooler. The way that they decided to go to the moon in just 3 days using a more powerful rocket and orbiting with men after just a few missions on an Apollo 8. Now it will take 2 weeks just to do a flyby and with a less powerful CSM, I don’t care how inclusive it is it just isn’t as exciting knowing we’re going for a downgrade

there's no lunar gateway space station on the moon

* space nerd intensifies * i love this

Furthest a human has gone from earth? Or did apollo 11 orbit further

[hammond]

That's all they are going to do? The last time we went to the moon it only took 6 days round trip. If they won't land, why send people? Probes can gather data, cheaper.

[spaceboy]

I thought it takes 3 days to get to the moon? Why is it 8 days?

[AntiFurryNatio]

A fly by mission is just waste of time and money.
Landing and experimenting or impact mission is of some use...
NASA just wants to flexs its budget, space race mentality


Change my mind

[communistpropagandist]

I feel like you could go there faster if you just went straight to the moon the first time. Just point the rocket at the moon.
