I don’t want to be a Debbie downer but I rate the chances of #Artemis1 launch on Monday at about 50/50 not counting weather. It’s the first launch of a new complex rocket and there are likely still bugs to be worked out. Sorry if that makes folks upset but best to be realistic

Just getting started here at The Road to Artemis event at Space Florida.

At ASU event with Greg Autry, Charlie Bolden, Jim Bridenstine, Bhavya Lal, Mike Gold, and Gabe Sherman. This is being live-streamed. See our calendar entry for details. spacepolicyonline.com/events/the-roa…

Really inspiring comments from the panel, explaining the power of bi-partisan efforts, international efforts (21 countries signed on to Artemis accords), and the excitement of building a way to stay on the surface of the moon. #roadtoartemis #Artemis1 #artemis

Pace: This isn’t first try at returning to the Moon. SEI. Constellation. Now Artemis. Hope third time’s the charm. Think this is aligned with our key intl friends and allies and will make it sustainable.

Bridenstine: Congress is to blame for any gap in LEO space stations bc didn’t fund cmrcl space stations sufficiently even tho we’ve always known ISS won’t last forever and now Russia may leave after 2024.

We saw SLS on the pad today, and it was really impressive! Very proud to be a part of an organization and industry that puts in the hard work to make big things happen for humanity’s future!

SLS/Artemis 1: NASA countdown commentator Derrol Nail reports engineers are troubleshooting a communications issue with the Orion capsule; 1 of 2 telemetry channels took longer to initialize than expected; working normally now, but need to understand cause

Weather has seen an improvement and we are currently 'go' for tanking with NASA_SLS for #Artemis I.

It may look more like tying a bow, but this is good representation of the Artemis 1 flight.

We are now in slow fill for liquid hydrogen into the ARCHIVED: NASA_SLS core stage. 8% filled on liquid oxygen.

Early this morning, NASA chief Bill Nelson met personally with the three members of the "red crew" who fixed the leaky hydrogen valve in the hours before launch. The team, from left: Billy Cairns, Chad Garrett, and Trent Annis Photo: NASA's Sam Lott
