Show Notes

We are officially lunar-bound! On this episode, we break down the exact, minute-by-minute timeline of Flight Day 2 of the historic Artemis II mission. After a busy first 24 hours, Commander Reid Wiseman, Pilot Victor Glover, and Mission Specialists Christina Koch and Jeremy Hansen fired the European Service Module's main engine to commit the Orion spacecraft to a lunar transit trajectory.

From early morning orbital raise maneuvers to testing deep-space laser communications, we cover all the manual hardware tests, cabin environment adjustments, and mid-flight troubleshooting that took place on April 2nd, 2026. Join us as we track Orion's transition out of standard Earth orbit and into the hands of the Deep Space Network.
