Quote:Artemis III will fly the first woman and first person of color to the Moon. This flight will be the culmination of rigorous testing and more than two million miles accumulated in space on NASA’s deep space transportation systems during Artemis I and II.https://www.nasa.gov/reference/artemis-iii/
On this mission, Orion and its crew will travel to the Moon, this time docking directly with a Human Landing System (HLS) in lunar orbit, which will take the astronauts to the Moon’s surface.
The agency’s powerful Space Launch System rocket will launch four astronauts aboard the Orion spacecraft for their multi-day journey to lunar orbit. There, two crew members will transfer to the HLS for the final leg of their journey to the surface of the Moon.
Typical NASA. Sending the first women and person of color to the Moon, and what do they do? Cram them in a lumpy balloon that makes them look like white men. So much for progress.
Not to worry though. I heard the was going to be a minor delay, but NASA delayed that. In fact, in just a few short months, things will be back on track and the delay can proceed as scheduled. That will give them plenty of time for a redesign, as long as there are no delays in testing. I'm hopeful!
I followed the Science, and all I found was the Money.
