The test flight is scheduled to last between 26-42 days. Artemis 2 will be the first crewed space flight that will orbit the moon (but not land) sometime in 2024. That will be the objective of Artemis 3 (planned 2025).
Sweet. It’s taken us 60 years to replicate Apollo

the benefits that would come from establishing a moon base are so great that honestly i would probably be a single issue voter over it. the sooner we can make that happen the better

Any guesses on how many unmanned saturn I missions there were, 10
another 5 satutn IB flights, 3 more unmanned apollo flights, 1 manned apollo flight not to the moon, 3 manned flights to moon, and then we finally landed. Posted on 7/21/22 at 9:45 pm to AlwysATgr

Shouldn't cost as much to reinvent the wheel
we are reinventing the wheel
they are building entirely new rockets. do you have any idea how difficult it is to send humans into space? now do that over thousands of miles. and then bring them back
thats hard. we absolutely have to reinvent the wheel to do it. cause its that hard

60 years ago!
60 years before that the Wright Brothers barely got a plane off the ground.

Yeah...some of these fools should stick to "armchair quarterbacking" college football.
Dont talk shite about something which you are literally clueless about.

Before my grandpa moved to the space program division of Douglas, he worked on missiles. The one he worked on was called the PGM-17A Thor, an intermediate range ballistic missile. They were used several times in the high altitude nuke tests of operation fishbowl. It was literally in service for 60 years, but y'all know it as the delta rocket. And ffs, Russia is still flying soyuz. A 60+ year old Russian design is still functional. Safe, reliable designs were extremely doable then.

Well to be fair it took 11 back then

We haven't tried for 55 of those 60 years.
NASA is a political agency. They did not have the political will to go back to the moon and focused on a variety of other missions. By the time we did have the political will to go back, it was shortlived and the Obama admin killed that mission.
Now we have it again. Obviously they essentially need to reinvent going back with modern tech.

So far, 14 astronauts have died in Space Shuttle missions that went 200 miles above the Earth, yet during the Apollo program NASA allegedly sent astronauts 240,000 miles to the moon and back six times, with no loss of life at all? In other words: 200 miles = 14 casualties, 240,000 miles = 0 casualties.
NASA was able to send men 600 times farther in 1969 than it can today! How believable is that? Have you ever heard of technology going backward by such an extreme magnitude?
Today, NASA does not have the technology to go higher than 400 miles above Earth, and has indirectly admitted it by their actions (in not doing so) and words.
If the Apollo missions were authentic, then by now, there should be daily flights to the moon as well as moon bases. All this would be so if the moon landings were consistent with the rest of world history

Three appollo astronauts died in a fire on the launch pad.
Accidents happened then too.
The Space shuttle was WAAAY more complex than the Apollo. The Apollo had a simple rentry shield and a small capsule.
The first shuttle was lost due to O ring failure in a solid booster. The Saturn V didn't have solid boosters.
The second lost shuttle was due to a failure of cermaic plates at the bottom of the shuttle. It was a freak accident as the tiles got cracked all the time.
For you who don't believe in the moon landings. Why did the Soviets help the Americans keep up the ruse? What happened the the Saturn V's people saw launched?

Multiple astronauts died in the missions leading up to Apollo. It was a small miracle that no one died in the Apollo missions, given Apollo 13. They also had a few other close calls.
The Space shuttle was a different mission and was flawed. It was a dark era for NASA in many ways.

We CAN send them that far, we haven't. Because we didn't have the political will for the mission. What don't you get about this?

Damn. You are kinda dumb, huh?

I can't wait until the first deaf, blind, mute, paraplegic, african american transvestite lands on the moon. It's about time.
