One Hour, 30m to insertion burn.

This live feed has some really good graphics and brings the sitrep clearly.



I haven't heard if they have decided if the toilet is a scrubbing issue.

Could be a controversy in the making. Will they go? Will they scrub the mission? Over a toilet.

What's the over/under?

Oh, and the subject line was intentional. Gotta get a few heads exploding.

The Artemis II mission faced a minor technical issue with the Orion spacecraft's toilet shortly after launch. The problem was a jammed fan in the urine collection system, which affected the urine collection function.

Will they all have to piss at once again?

 

[Darkwind]

Well, they answered my question. They are going for the burn. This will commit them to the Moon.

10 thousand mph. That's just hard to wrap your head around.

Toilets? What is it with them damn things. Spacecraft, Aircraft carriers? Can we get our shit together, LOL.

Get this. They will only be 115 SM from the Earth when they light it up for insertion.

What's even crazier is we're doing 67,000 mph just sitting on our keisters!

Well, us fat dudes are going just a touch slower. That's what gives the Earth her rotation.

The burn will raise their speed by about 900 mph giving them TLI to leave the well of the Earth and head to the Moon.

Maybe NASA designed the USS Ford's shitters.

The real question is: when you poop in space, how do you get your space pants down? And where does the poop go?

 

[Darkwind]

Burn is calculated for 5m39s I think she said.

 

[Darkwind]

... and there they go.

Let's all give them the "Queens" wave and have a toast. 10 days and counting.
