In this clip from episode 289 (recorded 11/22/22), we breakdown launch to lunar flyby (and entering the Distant Retrograde Orbit) that Artemis 1 made this past week. The mission begins! We share our thoughts, our thanks, and some of the interesting things we learned about the first Artemis mission.

SLS performed, Orion is threading the orbital needle, and we’re getting some amazing images back for the first time in half a century from a human rated spacecraft at the moon. There’s a lot to be thankful for and excited!

Have a great Thanksgiving and enjoy!
