The core stage will keep firing before separating and crashing into the Pacific in pieces. The boosters will peel away after two minutes, just like the shuttle boosters did, but won’t be fished from the Atlantic for reuse. Unlike the streamlined Saturn V, the new rocket has a pair of strap-on boosters refashioned from NASA’s space shuttles. It's called the Space Launch System rocket, SLS for short, but a less clunky name is under discussion, according to Nelson. But it’s mightier, packing 8.8 million pounds (4 million kilograms) of thrust. The new rocket is shorter and slimmer than the Saturn V rockets that hurled 24 Apollo astronauts to the moon a half-century ago. Here’s a rundown of the first flight of the Artemis program, named after Apollo’s mythological twin sister. Add everything up since the program’s inception a decade ago until a 2025 lunar landing, and there’s even more sticker shock: $93 billion. The price tag for this single mission: more than $4 billion. “Will the United States have the will to push forward in the face of a major malfunction?"
“It is supposed to be the first step in a sustained program of human exploration of the moon, Mars, and beyond," said John Logsdon. Spiraling costs and long gaps between missions will make for a tough comeback if things go south, he noted. The retired founder of George Washington University’s space policy institute said a lot is riding on this trial run. We’re going make it do things that we would never do with a crew on it in order to try to make it as safe as possible,” NASA Administrator Bill Nelson told The Associated Press on Wednesday. The six-week test flight is risky and could be cut short if something fails, NASA officials warn.
Liftoff is set for Monday morning from NASA's Kennedy Space Center. If all goes well, astronauts could strap in as soon as 2024 for a lap around the moon, with NASA aiming to land two people on the lunar surface by the end of 2025. Orion’s flight is planned to last six weeks from its Florida liftoff to Pacific splashdown, twice as long as astronaut trips. And that's a 'half', not a 'one' or 'two'.FILE - The NASA Artemis rocket with the Orion spacecraft aboard is seen on pad 39B during sunset at the Kennedy Space Center, Monday, June 27, 2022, in Cape Canaveral, Fla. I recommend this show for people who's IQ is as low as Twisters and can't understand what they're watching. I'm sure you're nearly bursting with excitement. So they find them and they get punished but learn a valuable lesson.
"In the restricted section," Reggie says. "Wheres Otto and Twister?" Raymundo asks. So they sneak in and Reggie sees them but doesn't tattle. "Hey Twister, let's sneak in!" Otto says. So they go skiing and Otto sees the restricted section. Basic storyline: "Let's go skiing!" says Ray-mundo, Otto's dad. Otto Rocket, the extreme sports player who usually screws things up Reggie Rocket, the only girl and the one who usually bails Otto out Sam 'Squid' Dullard, the nerdy computer geek who cant stand in skates Maurice 'Twister' Rodriguz, the low IQ filmmaker I used to watch this show for about a week until I woke up with the feeling, "I actually liked this?" I began to laugh at myself. Basically, this show is about 4 kids who like sports.
