Here's a video confirming what I just wrote, that SpaceX might as well just take over the lunar program. It costs ten million dollars to launch Starship, compared to two billion dollars to launch Artemis. They could launch two hundred missions for the price of one Artemis mission.

Today's tanking test or Wet Dress Rehearsal of filling the SLS rocket stages with liquid oxygen (LOX) and liquid hydrogen (LH2) went well after the leaks and other problems were fixed, so there is a good chance of a launch on Tuesday Sept. 27, 2022, or backup opportunity on Sunday, Oct. 2.

Let's see if they stay fixed.

Sorry, I should have said "supposedly fixed."

Personally, I don't see either launch attempt realistically happening, despite my earlier optimism. Artemis 1 will probably be rolled back to the Vehicle Assembly Building due to a combination of the H2 leaks, deteriorating weather conditions and the flight termination system battery situation.

Here is an interesting video that explains how the only reason that the SLS is still around is that it brings in a lot of income to the people in the congressional districts in which its facilities are located.

Nonetheless, they are aiming now for a November 14 launch of Artemis 1, which will be a night launch, similar to Apollo 17 back in 1972. https://www.spaceflightnow.com/2022/...aunch-attempt/

It's launching in about an hour. Watch it live:

Live coverage from NASA just ended. The iCPS just completed the Trans-Lunar Injection burn and separated from the Artemis 1 spacecraft which is now on the way to the Moon.
Unfortunately, due to personal circumstances, I missed the launch live, something I waited 10 years to see. A night launch, but still impressive. Good to see it on its way.

The first launch of the Orion spacecraft was in 2014, eight years ago.
The second launch was today. If they keep up the same launch cadence, Artemis II, the next crewed cislunar flight, will be in 2030, and Artemis III, the next crewed lunar landing flight, will be in 2038. By contrast, the corresponding flights in the Apollo program were in 1966, 1967, 1968, and 1969, respectively.

Artemis 2, the first manned mission, is supposed to launch sometime in 2024 into lunar orbit, basically a repeat of Apollo 8. A rendezvous and docking with the Lunar Gateway station is planned, if it is ready by then. Artemis 3, the first lunar landing using the SpaceX Starship (and the first woman and person of color on the Moon ) in 2026 or '27 if the schedule holds. But who knows?
