Show Notes
NASAs Artemis II mission, set to launch four astronauts on a ten-day loop around the moon, faces a delay due to bad weather. The massive rocket stack, weighing six million pounds, was scheduled to roll out to the launch pad last Thursday but was held up. The crew, including commander Reid Wiseman, pilot Victor Glover, mission specialist Christina Koch, and mission specialist Jeremy Hansen, began quarantine in Houston on March 18th and will head to Florida closer to liftoff. NASA has lined up seven possible launch slots in April, with the first at 6:24 p.m. on April 1st. Engineers remain optimistic about getting Artemis II to pad 39B soon, a key step in NASAs plan to return humans to the moon and build a sustainable presence there.
