I think you're right there; but not what I'm talking about - I thought he had a whole novel on a Project Artemis. I've only read The Martian and Hail Mary though, so I'm not surely sure. I'm also at work, so not about to go hunting. Edited November 16, 2022 by Which Tyler Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It takes place on the Moon when the Moon has a city on it. I never read it, so I don't know the plot. Which Tyler 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ser Scot A Ellison Posted November 16, 2022 Share Posted November 16, 2022 This is supposed to be a NASA site for tracking Artemis I. It isn’t loading on my iPhone 7 so… FYI: https://www.nasa.gov/specials/trackartemis/ SpaceChampion and Spockydog 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Anti-Targ Posted November 17, 2022 Share Posted November 17, 2022 According to the tracking site it's about 1/3 of the way there and 2.5 more days to reach the moon at its current velocity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A Horse Named Stranger Posted December 11, 2022 Share Posted December 11, 2022 Historical fact. Do you know the real reason why NASA launched its missions from Cape Caneveral? Location, location, location. How else do you get people willing to enter a rocket to get shot into a dark black void other than promise that it will take them as far away from Florida as humanly possible (178). This is how the Apollo mission recruitment actually went: Ok, we want to shoot you on that lifeless rock orbiting Earth. There's no oxygen or food there. We can't force you to go, you can also stay another six weeks in Florida. Your choice. Needless to say pretty much everybody wanted to be on that missions from then on.
