Thanks to someone on Reddit I discovered that the ULA has an amazing Flickr page with tons of high res images from all their launches.

Make great phone/desktop wallpapers.

I was able to attend a Shuttle launch - I'd love to be in attendance for a future one of these.

Pretty cool to get the rocket heading to the moon in the same shot.

When you are used to seeing space stuff move at thousands of kph it's interesting to see it is only going 450mph.

Early morning alert! Set alarm clocks.

Artemis 1 is scheduled to do a close flyby of the moon at around 5:45AM MT on Monday. It will be 130 kms above the moon's surface and preform a 2.5 minute engine burn to help position it for lunar orbit.

And now it is going slower than most vehicles on the Deerfoot!

It gets confusing because the speed has to be relative to a body. Like on the stream they just said it’s going 619 MPH. Because it’s now in relation to the moon. It wasn’t actually ever going slower than something on Deerfoot, but relative to the earth it was.

The webcam link is back up as Artemis makes a close pass by the moon right now, pretty stunning views.

This is only tangentially related to Artemis, as we spoke about it a little bit, but I met an astronaut the other day at a pub who had retired to Vancouver Island. I started a conversation with him after I overheard him saying he discovered VI from 180,000 feet and I thought that was a little odd. Turns out he was in NASA for fifty years and was in space 16 times. Cool guy.

Artemis II crew has been announced. As per treaty agreement, a Canadian will be part of the crew.

Artemis II will orbit the moon. Jeremy Hansen will be the first Canadian to fly into deep space.

https://www.nasa.gov/press-release/n...-under-artemis

Quote:
Representing Canada, Hansen is making his first flight to space. A colonel in the Canadian Armed Forces and former fighter pilot, Hansen holds a Bachelor of Science in space science from Royal Military College of Canada in Kingston, Ontario, and a Master of Science in physics from the same institution in 2000, with a research focus on Wide Field of View Satellite Tracking. He was one of two recruits selected by CSA in May 2009 through the third Canadian Astronaut Recruitment Campaign and has served as Capcom in NASA's Mission Control Center at Johnson and, in 2017, became the first Canadian to be entrusted with leading a NASA astronaut class, leading the training of astronaut candidates from the United States and Canada.

Pretty cool, but considering the scale of the universe, I find it funny that a trip to orbit Earth's natural satellite is considered deep space.

That being said, I am super stoked that I might actually see a moon landing in my lifetime. I still don't believe it, like the funding is going to get pulled last minute or something.

Man how crazy would that be -- becoming an astronaut is extremely difficult and unlikely enough, then you spend over a decade grinding away in training and as an instructor yourself, then finally your first trip to space, what you've worked for for 30+ years, is the first manned flight to the moon in 50 years. Wild. I imagine they'll plan for the same crew to actually land with Artemis III?

From what I understand Artemis III will have a different crew.

The plan is that the 1st person to step on the moon since Apollo 17, will be a woman and POC.

Looks like Jerry Ross and Franklin Chang Diaz are tied for most orbital launches from Earth at 7.

Dang! I really had high hopes it would be Danielle Smith on a one-way ticket.
