Getting back to our regular Tuesday schedule, America's Favorite Rocket Scientist™ and Big Brain Smart Head™ Bob Luzenski joins Rafe to discuss NASA's highly successful Artemis II mission to the far side of the moon and back to earth.
Ten days in space and nearly 700,000 miles for the crew of Artemis II ended on Friday evening (PDT) off the coast of California. The mission was, by nearly all accounts, a spectacular success with only a handful of minor issues popping up during the flight.
The images that were acquired while on the far side of the moon were spectacular as well, with great shots being made of an eclipse of the sun, the earth from a record distance away (for humans), and a broad palette of colors from the surface of the far side of the moon.
Public sentiment was high during the entire mission, with all manner of people discussing the voyage in glowing terms.
Tune in to see what an actual rocket scientist saw during the mission.
