Artemis launch

This feels like the precipice of a very "Wall-E" future.

All the food delivery services were the tipping point for me.

Same. Downside for my.little guy is he's probably not gonna be a space pilot (or any kinda pilot), mom and I both have not great vision so odds are he will too.

Keep the young one's interest going, there are many aviation jobs that allow corrected vision. While I couldn't fly military due to my corrected vision I ended up with land and sea ratings. It's unfortunate that those restrictions are/were in place for intial military flight training as I have seen many Viper and Warthawg pilots roll thru Last Chance with glasses on..

My bet is roll back to the VAB because of TD09 IAN.

Hope not…

Sep 27 is waved off.
No decision yet on roll back.

Thanks for the update!

Rolling to the VAB tonight.
Hopefully they use the opportunity to replace the Range Safety Batteries.

Thanks for the update! I’d like to think they will replace the RSB’s as well as anything else that it may need. I assume the replacement quick disconnect was replaced and it tested good?

My understanding is that they were ready to launch tomorrow, provided the Range approved the battery waiver.

Ah I see… well, fingers crossed on the next window!

Oh man, it was supposed to be a secret.

Man, flying down that way tomorrow. Would have been awesome to see.

Awesome! Thanks for posting @fatboyroy ! A great surprise to find after a long day on the water!

Looks like another one tonight that you could catch. It wasnt even in NASA schedule, space x launch so frequently most of the time its a surprise lol.
A SpaceX post-sunset launch on Thursday could produce a sight known as a 'space jellyfish' (yahoo.com)

The timing of the launch is right, about 15 minutes after sunset. If it is clear, you might get to see what I saw one morning from my house.

Probably from same launch but I’m a bit further south

Artemis will attempt to launch Monday November 14 at 12:07 AM.
That will be an early morning wake-up call for the area.

This kinda suck i want to see the plumes (contrail) of old fuel technology preferably daytime or dusk/dawn. Its harder to see at night and I'm not sure i want to drive there at midnight unsure if it will launch or not.
