Mass-wise he’s about 1.2 crew as well.

My gut feeling this crew was picked at least 10 months ago. :slight_smile:

Watching. Pretty interested in this… I was 2 years old the last time we had people in lunar orbit.. (Are they doing an orbit injection burn or just a free return?)… Crazy engineering. I’m worried.

Free return I beleive. Artemis 1 with that heat shield was quite a thing so this feels like some risk. Inspiring but also sorta scary.

Sounds like a battery temperature problem with one of the batteries for the launch abort system… I guess they are looking at it.
