Hey hey, it’s day 4 since the ship left Earth’s orbit and it’s been heading toward the Moon, with the astronauts fully in control. It’s been tough and nerve-wracking days hoping everything goes well. Also, on day 3 they had some issues with the toilet that showed a few malfunctions, but everything got fixed and nothing serious happened.
Lots of photos have been sent and during the live broadcasts they’ve explained important stuff, like getting pictures of the dark side of the Moon. Yeah yeah, I know, we already have photos like that, but those were taken by our robots. This time humans are taking them, and today, in just a few hours, the ship is expected to be in orbit on that side of the Moon. That’s considered the risky zone because the ship will lose communication with Earth for about 50 minutes. So if something happens, no one will know, and the astronauts will have to use all their training and knowledge to deal with any problems that come up. Hopefully nothing bad happens.
Meanwhile, at the offices they’re following the ARTEMIS 2 mission minute by minute, monitoring the ship to make sure everything’s fine. So far, every communication has been successful. The astronauts look calm and happy; they even had a segment where they talked about what they do, shared stories and everyday stuff, like being on a TV show giving an interview. That level of calm is amazing — I guess it’s part of all the training they get.
As someone who loves photos and videos, I can’t stop watching the Moon now in a fun way with the images they show — how things change as they get closer and closer. Just hours away from orbit, they’ll take more shots, keep checking that all systems work, and make sure there are no failures. That’s their mission before heading back home. So all of us who love scientific events will keep watching the live broadcasts on NASA’s official channels 😌..
