Artemis II launch "Go For Burn"

https://www.nasa.gov/blogs/missions/...ntdown-begins/

NASA's Artemis II mission is now going ahead. It's due to take off this Wednesday with the four astronauts Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover, and Christina Koch, and CSA (Canadian Space Agency) astronaut Jeremy Hansen. It is due to orbit the moon and return.

This signals a new Space Race era, largely with the Chinese programs who may yet put the first woman on the moon. The problem NASA faces is having to re-negotiate it's budget on an annual basis, so this mission requires success,

Launch can be watched in the link above.

Humans are leaving low Earth orbit and heading back to the Moon for the first time since 1972. In just days, NASA will attempt to launch Artemis II, the first crewed lunar mission of the Artemis program, flying around the moon!

For those of you looking for a one stop shop to get caught up before this historic mission, you’re in the right place. We’ll talk about the crew, the rocket, the spacecraft, the mission profile and go over the timeline so you know exactly what to expect for #artemis2 .

One of the problems facing Artemis II is that some would like to see this mission scrubbed or fail; they have a strong desire to see the Chinese lunar landing scheduled for 2030 preempt Artemis II. NASA plans to build a permanent Moon base as part of its Artemis program, with construction expected to begin during Artemis V in late 2028. I suspect that there will be obstacles put in the way to hold the Americans back, which will allow the Chinese a clear passage into space. Time will tell.

Here is a tailgate party for tomorrow’s launch (technically later today, as I am up late).

This chan is imo the best that I’ve seen for coverage and commentary for rocket launches. He plans going live a bit before T-4 hours, which is when the travellers will go take their seats for the start of the two hour launch window, 0624 EST. Figures he’ll be on for 8 hours.

Am posting this mainly as a signpost to his “tomorrow” livestream, as I expect to be both sleeping and then hella busy then, medical appt. mid pm.

3 orbits, doesn’t sound like much, but they will be testing the mythical warning ”Don’t come back to your Moon! ☠️”.

I am reminded: in the alternate reality past and future Nasa space program series, For All Mankind, the competition between US and Russian permanent moon bases in seasons 1 and 2 on the opposite sides of a crater where ice was discovered, and within sight of each other, might presage future moon surface events between nations.

Don't Fly To The Moon with Microsoft
==============================

Even on NASA's Artemis II mission around the moon, astronauts apparently still have to deal with broken Microsoft Outlook. One of the crew members, Reid Wiseman, jokingly reported that he had "two Microsoft Outlooks" and neither worked. 404 Media reports:
On April 1, four astronauts from the U.S. and Canada embarked on a 10-day flight to loop around the moon. Spotted by VGBees podcast host Niki Grayson on the NASA livestream of live views from the , around 2 a.m. ET, mission control acknowledges an issue with a process control system and offers to remote in -- yes, like how your office IT guy would pause his CoD campaign to log into Okta for you because you used the wrong password too many times.

One of the astronauts, Reid Wiseman, says that's chill, but while they're in there: "I also see that I have two Microsoft Outlooks, and neither one of those are working." Astronauts are trained for decades in some of the most physically and mentally grueling environments of any career. They're some of the smartest people on the planet, and they have to be, before we strap them to 3.2 million pounds of jet fuel and make them do complex experiments and high-stakes decisions for days on end. And yet, once they get up there, ****ing Outlook is borked.

I currently work for an IT Support company, I am one of those guys who remotes into your work laptop/computer to take a look & sort it out for you (eventually) so I can relate to the Microsoft woes, managing corporate Office 365 tenancies is on a par with Rocket Science, let me tell you...ironic is it not?

Says in the comments that Artemis is/was Apollo’s twin sister, in Greek mythology.

Narrator, on Earth, says that this room is about the volume of 2 minivans. Some comms with the lady crew member, who was trying to fix something (not the toilet), but couldn’t.

At time of these recordings, they were about halfway to the moon.

Essentially this is Apollo 8 all over again, I have read that all of the mission data from the impressive Apollo project has been lost, all of the engineering know-how & the rocket science, all of the underlying information that enabled them to execute on the practical challenges, isn't that amazing? The 1960's saw the Americans succeed with something they are now having so much difficulty with, it was like a miracle really, we were operating ahead of our true technical capabilities through sheer will & the desire to aspire, the Apollo mission was truly impressive, and NO Kubric may have been a talented film maker, but the Moon was visited - I personally know one of the Comms engineers who worked with the Australian link for the spacecraft, the film/audio for the entire project, he is an honest, decent man plus of course Edgar Mitchell was with Apollo 14, there is nobody I trust more than Edgar Mitchell among the scientist/engineer community for that project. The Moon hoax people annoy me!

Yes, Apollo 11 and at lest some of the subsequent missions did land on the moon, but the footage was very definitely all faked by Kubrick (and very well indeed for that era, which is why Kubrick was given the project).

Re Edgar Mitchell, here's Jay Weidner, on Art Bell's radio show on 4 August 2015. He recounts how Edgar Mitchell consulted hypnotherapist Dr Robert Masters because he couldn't remember a thing about being on the moon.

This audio clip is important, concerning the Apollo astronauts' loss of memory. The person talking first is Stanton Friedman, who was also a guest on the show:

Dr Masters was unable to help Mitchell, who passed away in 2016 still not remembering a thing about his Apollo mission.

[samsdice]

I'm sure I mentioned this before but to recap. My landlady in 1987 was Kubrick's gardener in his S. London home. She told me that Stanley informed her that he did indeed shoot "fake" moonlanding video. She also mentioned that SK was quite paranoid about this becoming common knowledge. We did land on the moon but as Bill says, SK did shoot "backup" video too.

[Mike Gorman]

Is that really the case though Bill? I have seen Edgar Mitchell speak about his mission experiences, on his Noetic Science lectures and various other presentations, he does not strike me as a man prone to confabulation, or deceit, his science accomplishments are both impressive & genuine, plus he has championed the Roswell "Old Timers" stories & repeatedly championed UFO/UAP accounts, stressing that we have indeed been visited by off-world beings: it might be that he experienced a profound spiritual & existential shock from his space flight, and Moon landing experiences, especially on recent return to Earth, he may very well have had some kind of 'absence' at that time, I do not know, however as an older man he related his Apollo flight experiences on many occasions (a search on YouTube reveals many of these) - I just don't buy the Kubric story, or that Mitchell was unaware of his Apollo flight, however, opinions & beliefs are many & varied on this topic: we will have to agree to disagree on this occasion. I acknowledge there are some strange elements to the 1960's NASA agency, they have not improved & agree with Alvi Loeb that too many of these space agency scientists are arrogant, and not open to knowledge, they know it all already!
This is my sense of the matter, of course we might both be wrong, I do not claim to have absolute knowledge but I make the judgement based on what I doknow.

I imagined that I had just awoke some 7 to 8 years after we all jumped on my parents bed to watch the first moon walk on July 20, 1969. Surely it would take only a few years of adjustments to recover from the dangers of Apollo 13. What year is it? 2026? You've got to be Fk'n with me! Really?

So let me get this straight, this "Trip Around The Moon" production is either a wake up call for humanity or just another video presentation being fed to those whose only existence to controllers is being controlled, being hypnotized... ...... .........

Who actually believes that 53+ years after the last massive and primitive launch to outer space, using millions of gallons of fuel, and Trillions of Dollars of Public Funds, that controllers of the planetary grifters class have not created much more advanced space ships? They still use the same fuel? No way! I'd go up in a ship that used my thought-focused interface with an anti-grav repulsion system, but go anywhere on a massive explosive machine, this many years later? Who the F is buying that steaming pile of poorly crafted entertainment?

Is anyone supposed to forget the many lost lives of the inventors, the scientists, the test pilots, the real ground crews who have suffered the human indignities of serving the secrets of the dark programs, programs which were only hidden by those of dark intentions. oH, that's probably a world of hurt that you're not supposed to know about..

Well as we have kept ourselves, we don't forget, simply because we didn't come here to be lied to. Certainly not treated as idiots or anyone who would take the bait to be put into any control group. No, but no because the bigger Yes is we choose Living completely, consciousness and consciences in tact, as they are meant to be.

Hey, no problem enjoying the show, even as crass and low tech as it appears to be, and most often is. Yeah, malfunctioning toilets threatening to blow back waste instead of sucking it away, and cramped quarters are being touted as "advancements" all of these years later. Really? Not. No way in hell, or heaven... for sure.

This is nothing new to at least some of us, having seen this since we first arrived awake in our bodies and wondering why we were being talked down to and living in a world where people actively avoid connection to all there is here. Who is still that mind numbed over all of those decades to not see beyond the blatant in-your-face stupidity being tested on those who would watch and not laugh, or turn away......

I saw it first when I heard that some test pilots of alien craft were treating those very different crafts as objects. I was shocked that some of them died because they had no experience controlling their own thoughts, which is an act of blindly challenging the existence of the living interactions needed to take a ride, rides which are only created with thoughts as the guiding functions of inner and outer propulsion. Who the hell were, and likely are still, the ones who run those programs? It's as if the original pilots in Carr's crafts weren't listened to when Otis himself had told his crew how to pilot them, and that subsequently the evil authorities themselves also did not listen to after they shut the developments down.

Good Gracious Us... No, you are not ready to take those journeys..at least publicly. The lessons of Aramu Muru/Amaru Maru and the disappearance of entire Central and Northern Turtle Island groups via the power of their connections to the sanctity of life, and in an almost constant, active rejection and repulsion of the darkness that was, and is, created in dark practices that reject service to the others within us. In this human history, the one choice that is at hand is the one choice that has always been.

The division is openly paid for by those who curse humanity with their actions, their dark prayers, their abuses...and if all of the strife on this planet is not visibly seen as the manipulative construct it has always been....Then that is another proof of the success of those who would control humanity. They thoroughly enjoy all of people hating each other...but no one can hate when they are traveling the inner journey...they're too occupied to waste the precious gift of time that always leads to the seemingly outer journeys.

I have never forgotten when looking into and listening to the wide variety of sacred systems that there was a word in another language that sounds like "Hayt", which in that language was used as another word for "Love". More over, like many people before me had seen and talked about, it means that the hater is connected to the object of this emotional energy. It is my choice to be connected to Love or to Hate. And this is no minor philosophical notice, as the unbridled connection to the objective truths in physics and interdimensional constructs finds protections in these inner paths, these internal disciplines that teach some profound joy in transcending.....

Simple, yes, but it is another reminder to disengage our emotion and look, listen and absorb the perception of what is being projected at us. These days it is overtly ignorant to choose blindness with what is being sold to the public.

No, I won't engage in the sophristry that is the mark of a planetary sickness. But come the Fk on folks....Do we act as Conscious Beings with others, talking about the decades of collectively lost investments in politics that drain any passion for Living, discussions which are necessary to clear the space for Living? Do we confront the media loosh that drains a soul's own ATP, lost focus that is being drained with those dumb ass devices, or do we listlessly marvel at the primitive propulsion, the sophmorish telemetry updates, and the outdated software that the cheap producers create for entertainment hypnosis.

Yes, at any time of our own choosing we can take this human ship across the world ocean of perception and travel, without the dross fuel of fear, and experience what the world is really made of.

Wallace to Gromit....Can we get some of that cheese, mate....

Took some time out to express my admiration for this post. Well done!

The Artemis mission could be designed as a distraction from Epstein since they've started conflicts over the matter. If so, they have an Apollo 13 like scenario planned for the world population. Another theory is they'll use the crew to photograph alien or manmade structures on the moon's surface and display them to the world. David Wilcock said/wrote that the dark side of the moon looks like Manhattan at night. In that case they already have the photos/video from decades ago that they'll release not wanting the world to know how developed it has become.

Who was Artemis in Greek mythology? (Google AI)

Artemis was the Greek goddess of the hunt, wilderness, wild animals, and the moon, recognized as one of the twelve Olympian deities. Known as a fierce, independent protector of girls and nature, she was the daughter of Zeus and Leto and the twin sister of Apollo.

Key Aspects of Artemis:

Domains: She ruled over wild places, hunting, and was a protector of childbirth and young women.

Appearance/Symbols: Frequently depicted as a youthful huntress carrying a bow and quiver of arrows, often accompanied by a stag or hunting dog.

Chastity: She was one of the three virgin goddesses (along with Hestia and Athena) and demanded strict chastity from her followers.

Twin Bond: She and her twin brother, Apollo, were considered bringers of sudden death and disease, though they also brought healing.

Mythology Roles: Artemis played significant roles in many myths, often punishing those who disrespected her or her sacred animals.

In Roman mythology, she is identified as Diana. Her significant devotion is marked by the Temple of Artemis at Ephesus, which was one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World.

PS.
David Wilcock is not on my list as credible
Who cares :?)

I just don't buy the Kubric story

The shadows, apparent light sources (plural!), and backdrops have proved the key videos from the first moon landing were faked. Not revisiting/reposting all the books I have read and videos watched, but after much research it is my conviction that the video fakery has been thoroughly proved, whether it was Kubrick directing these video productions or not.

A good first review on the launch, to Trans Lunar Injection burn.

Lots of new details of equipment and procedures, besides Scott’s personal pov as part of a YouTube creators’ day program.

L = 40:48. Notable timestamp thru 35:00, about a picture taken of Earth as they move off towards the Moon. The Sun is behind the planet, which is lit by the full Moon. This lighting shows some things never seen before, like the glow of the upper atmosphere due to sodium left there by asteroids. Also shows city lights right up to the disk edge, a nighttime thing. Half second exposure makes it look blue and brown with white clouds, light enough.

Still lots to go in the mission. Godspeed ye valiant voyagers.

Artemis II: Was it Everything I Expected?

Trying to make a video from my hotel room covering my whole experience with the Artemis II launch, I was there as part of a YouTube sponsored event that pulled a diverse group of people together, unlike the media site or NASA Social event.
I was the 'space dad' that told everyone what to expect.

And then for the last few days I've been trying to get the time and energy to share some of this using my laptop, so, apologies in advance for the slapdash editing and dubious audio, I'll be back home soon.

As they get closer to the far side of the moon, I’m thinking about Ingo Swann’s book, ‘Penetration’. Wouldn’t it be something if the Orion crew saw some interesting things up there!
