That’s right! While Artemis 1 is an important mission for the return of humanity

sending messages to an iPad that resides within the Orion spacecraft. A camera

QUICK THOUGHTS: ESA ASTRONAUT LUCA PARMITANO ON THE LAUNCH OF ARTEMIS 1

Seth Kurkowski - Nov. 15th 2022 4:23 pm PT

Before settling down in NASA’s press center at Kennedy Space Center for
tonight’s launch, I was able to speak with ESA astronaut Luca Parmitano on the
role Europe plays in this launch. “NASA will always be the agency that put a man
on the moon 50 years ago,” Luca said, “But nowadays, we as a European space
agency are trying to catch up, and we want to be part of this incredible
endeavor.”

I asked Luca if he believed tonight is the night Artemis 1 will finally launch.
He thinks we are 50/50 but still very excited to see this candle light.

UFOs, which are more commonly referred to as UAPs these days, have been in the

QUICK THOUGHTS: A BAD CASE OF THE SPACE MONDAYS

Seth Kurkowski - Nov. 7th 2022 2:40 pm PT

Have you ever woken up on a Monday morning and thought to yourself, “yeah, no, I
don’t want to do anything,” and then you attempt to get up, and the day doesn’t
stop punching? That was today for the space industry. We work up to a new report
of Subtropical Storm Nicole making landfall on Florida’s Space Coast (just in
time for Artemis 1 to be rolled out to the pad), Northrop Grumman’s Cygnus
spacecraft only having one solar panel deployed, and an absolutely terrible
weather forecast for SpaceX’s next Falcon 9 launch.

I guess here’s the deal, Mondays suck not just for the average person but even
for the most talented and intelligent people we know. I just got back from
SpaceX’s Falcon Heavy launch on Saturday, and I hopefully plan to drive back
down from Wisconsin for Artemis 1 and an airshow this Thursday, both of which
could be canceled, so I guess the joke is on me?

Comments

When spacecraft reenter, they need a heat shield to protect them from the
