Show Notes

NASAs Artemis two mission, set for spring 2026, will send four astronauts around the Moon, marking the first crewed trip there since 1972. The Space Launch System rocket will launch from Kennedy Space Center, with potential launch dates from April 1st to 30th. The mission will last about ten days, with splashdowns in mid-April or early May. The rocket will use four refurbished Space Shuttle engines and two solid rocket boosters. The Orion capsules return path was adjusted to reduce heat shield wear, ensuring crew safety. Despite the high cost of discarding hardware, this setup maximizes power for deep space missions and bridges old tech to new lunar goals.
