Artemis 1 Launch

[Batjack]

For all the other insomniacs out there, N.A.S.A. will "try" once again to launch the Artemis 1 S.L.S. with the Orion crew vehicle during a 3+ hour window starting at 1:04am Wen. 11-16-2022. If you're not in the viewing area, you can go to nasa.gov website and click on the NASA TV tab. The N.A.S.A. tv channel doesn't show it scheduled in the guide options at this point, but might still show it.

Update : It is showing on the NASA tv channel.

You should sell tickets! How close are you to the launch site?

Yeah, that's they're full mission statement at this time. "Plans" are for Mars.. some time... been hearing that since Armstrong made that step.
