The rocket is set to launch no earlier than 8:33 a.m. ET Monday morning from Florida space coast with a two-hour launch window.

Atop the rocket sits Orion, the spacecraft that will eventually take astronauts to the moon.

The mission is a critical test of several things: how Space Launch System (SLS) performs; how Orion performs; and how its heat shield holds up upon re-entry after travelling to the moon and coming in at extremely high speeds.

Orion is uncrewed, an instrumented, spacesuited mannequin, “Moonikin Campos,” and two artificial female torsos will help scientists measure the radiation environment of deep space, along with the vibrations, sound levels, accelerations, temperatures and pressures in the crew cabin throughout the mission.

There’s also a Snoopy soft toy that will float around the capsule as a zero gravity indicator.

All of this is to pave way for Artemis II — scheduled for 2024 or 2025 — when four astronauts, including a Canadian, will orbit the moon.

Monday’s scheduled test flight, which has a two-hour launch window and will last 42 days on a 1.3m-mile odyssey to 40,000 miles beyond the far side of the moon and back, includes two close fly-bys 62 miles above the lunar surface.

A successful mission would propel NASA closer to its goal of sending two astronauts, including the first woman, for landing at the moon’s south pole by the end of 2025, while up to two others remain in lunar orbit in a command module.

An interim second test flight, Artemis II, is scheduled for May 2024, carrying a crew of four to the moon and back, although not landing, and sending humans beyond low Earth orbit for the first time since Apollo 17 in December 1972.

“This is now the Artemis generation. We were in the Apollo generation. This is a new generation. This is a new type of astronaut,” Bill Nelson, the Nasa administrator and a former space shuttle astronaut, told a press briefing earlier this month.

Noting the symbolism in the programme’s name – in Greek mythology Artemis is the twin sister of Apollo – he added: “To all of us who gaze up at the moon, dreaming of the day humankind returns to the lunar surface … folks, we’re here.”

Unlike the Apollo missions, this is an international effort. The European Space Agency has provided a service module for the Artemis program, and Canada is providing Canadarm 3 to the Lunar Gateway, a space station that will orbit the moon and serve as an outpost, a kind of jumping-off point for astronauts travelling to the moon or Mars.

“There’s a big, big universe to explore. And this is just the next step in that exploration. And this time we go with our international partners,” said Nelson.

It was a nice meeting to say the least.

US plus the West doing what they know how to do best.

those dumbos dat says its Russia that sends American astronauts to space, are you seeing things now?

I wonder who still uses after-burn jet for fighters in this 21st century. Well, THE RUSSIANS. Lol.
abeg this thing get levels

I don't have what to say... I'm just here because i know that this post will get to frontpage

Two losers!

anyways, glory to MAN CITY for not tearing my ticket. Tomorrow sunday will be on fresh

u are a big lier
Japan surrendered as a result of atomic bomb and plutonium bomb
Even when the atomic bomb landed japan continued fighting until cowardice American soldiers who have lost over 20,000 soldiers due to kamikaze dropped the plutonium bomb
Ok

the first A-bomb was plutonium-made while the second was uranium

Parked

Righteousness2:
When John the Beloved spoke clearly by the Inspiration of the ANCIENT of THE DAYS, about this technology that would be used in the Endtimes, many of us wondered how it will happen

please try to compose better stories. This one is trash, doesn't make sense.

So RIGHTEOUSNESS, what thinkest thou?
is this one sign of end-time or some cool tech invention abi innovation? Well, i think the later is more plausible.

RikudoSennin:
What makes you think the west is ready and Russia is not? Just curious. Russia has been on War mode since 2014 ramping up military production. For me, i think this war will likely settle scores for everyone and it will quickly turn nuclear.

No nukes will be shot man. Neither side can risk it!

Taiwan Reports that China has issued a war alert.
(Global Telegram)

China about to make a mistake!

okeysoninv:
*1 hour ago: The EU dealt a blow to Russia, Ukraine officially became a member of the European Union* congratulations ukraine

Please who can verify this?

Originalsly:
The US was unofficially involved in the war when Pearl Harbour was bombed. The Pearl Harbour bombing was used to officially declare war on Japan.

On trying to justify dropping two nukes on Japan... why weren't the
nukes dropped on Germany to end the war early? I'm hoping for a reasonable response to this question.

Well Germany didn't attack Pearl Harbour!

Uprightness100:

FEARFUL AND SCARY!

The Saudi ambassador, Muhammad al-Qahtani, fell and died during a speech at a conference in the Egyptian capital, Cairo, in which he praised president A-Sisi and described him as "the dean of humanity".​​​​

(Abu Saleh)

Real matters indeed!

Uprightness100:
A senior Ukrainian military official told the New York Times that they were behind the bombing of the Russian air base in Crimea, and claimed that it was a base from which many attacks were launched against Ukrainian forces on the southern front.

Deep within me i know and believe that ukraine is capable of inflicting serious pains and hitting deep into russian soil and its bases.

Up AMERICA

1stGenAmerican:
Very true statement.
