Your Moon stan needs to last at least 5 days until they fly by it and preferably 10 after they return. But also any duration of hope is good

ArtemisII launching soon! The mission trajectory is below, in a past role I led part of the teams that put this together. Some highlights... 1/

After flyby, Orion gets pulled back and accelerates the whole way to a high speed Earth atmospheric reentry. It'll be amazing, hope you follow along /end

Apollo 13 crew flew furthest from Earth passing the Moon when it was at its furthest from Earth (lunar orbit is just slightly elliptical), math matter kids. 7/

At flyby, the crew will pass about 5,000 km beyond lunar farside. Timed to ensure its mid crew day (not asleep) and lighting for science observations. Furthest above farside humans have been but NOT necessarily furthest from Earth. 6/

When all looks good, Orion will perform the rest of the TransLunar Injection (TLI) burn on a path for free return flyby of the Moon. Another safety step, no more major burns are needed, the precise targeting and the Moon does the work to send them home 5/

This is a test flight and most importantly, the first flights of life support, crew accommodations, procedures, etc. The HEO provides near Earth aborts and early return as a precaution. 4/

In HEO, Orion separates, the crew will demonstrate proximity operations with the upper stage for future flights, and then coast for 24hrs to do full systems and life support checkouts on Orion 3/

First a nominal launch from SLS to a low Earrh orbit, Orion deploys solar arrays, preps and the upper stage first raises pedigree and then boosts to a High Earth Orbit. The HEO boost is about 2/3rds of the energy to the Moon, just doesnt look it by apogee distance 2/

100% all of this

That remains one of my fav ever. Time to rewatch....

Taking a break from the noise to revisit the countryside on foot. 9th Texas Independence Relay, ~200 glorious miles with 11 friends, in the books #TIR25

Interesting. 3 of my papers written when I worked in corporate are there.

Best thing to watch this time of year in Houston is small children being ejected from sheep

Bright pink azalea blooms

Spring in Houston, the azalea are gorgeous this year

In a moment of zen, got to work early so I'm gonna sit in my car with my coffee watching the sun come up. Need a moment.

Thanks friend. It's been a day. ❤️

It's classic early 80s on every level

Actually had an old one on insta...

Why am am I not surprised we had the same haircut 🤣. I'm not home or I'd find a pic

Yesterday was a week ago

Can someone please make an app with a single subscription to a network of local newspapers now. A Spotify of journalism. I'm begging

Out for early morning run, car never saw me or attempted to stop at the intersection. I did a Dukes of Hazzard style hood slide, landed on my feet, and kept running. Stopped running in the dark after that because i will only be so lucky once.

I have used DeleteMe for years and it definitely works to scrub the internet. And with a galaxy phone, what does trickle through the spam blocker usually takes care of

Canceled what was supposed to be a trip to LA visiting some of our partners today. Thoughts and hopes for safety for everyone impacted by the fires.
