Thats one small step for a sheep, one giant leap for the flock :-rofl2






Yes I know technically its not going TO the moon but AROUND it, but thats lousy millenial journalism for you....
 
"Let's get the flock out of here".
 
As my daughter said, It is a space sheep, so why not ?
 
Detail of the overall flight currently on NASA TV (HD)
 
NASA will be showing the launch in 4K/UHD which I think is the first time their UHD channel has actually shown live programming

Can find it FTA on 0.8w and 13e
 
A potential leak in one of the booster seals.

Yes mission “scrubbed” being the correct terminology used. Way too much silence from mission control pre launch to expect otherwise. This looks like a major issue that may not be resolved prior to the next available launch slot on 2nd September and this coupled with adverse weather conditions expected may push this launch way back. Don’t hold your breath for this one. Artemis Fouled
 
I’ll believe it when I see the afterburn. Nobody wants to be responsible for the worlds most expensive firework display.

Plenty of meteors will still put this one to shame if it doesn't work.

Indeed but nobody picks up the tab for that event. I’d say the insurance cover on this one is astronomical. That’s before you add in the 90,000 gallons of liquid hydrogen/oxygen burnt per minute for eight minutes on lift off. Surely they could use the Tardis at this stage. It’s been around for years, has rarely let The Doctor down and they could be there before they lift off Honestly some people are not happy until they’re spending money.
 
Look at the cost*, hydrogen per gallon = $16, oxygen = $0.55 per gallon, now they probably make their own.

I wouldn't want that fuel bill.

* based on lab prices.
