In this clip from episode 290 of the podcast, we discuss the first leg of NASA's #artemis1 mission, flight days 10-13 and review some of our favorite aspects of the trip around the moon. In this clip we discuss:
- Distant Retrograde Orbit and how it's fuel efficiency made it a great choice for testing Orion & the ESA-built service module
- Why Star Trackers are so important for knowing where you are in space, including a story from Alex's days studying for Aerospace Engineering.
- How Artemis 1 broke Apollo 13's record for the farthest a human-rated spacecraft has ever been from Earth.
