Waiting for crew walkout while they get suited up. Can’t imagine how they feel right now. Crew 11 flies in ~4 hours. I’ll bring you photos of the launch from the press site at KSC!

Briefly hearing NASA Acting Administrator Sean Duffy speak about Artemis, he said only 2% of Americans even know what it is. Did you know we are sending people back to the moon? Artemis 2 is less than a year away and will take people into lunar orbit for the first time since 1972
