The space agency will host Artemis 1 launch webcast on Aug. 29 to showcase the uncrewed launch on NASA’s first Space Launch System megarocket from Launch Pad 39B at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida.
As of this writing, live updates have begun. Weather forecasts are good but there is an engine issue. Engineers are working the problem but some delays are expected.
The fact that humanity has been going into space, and to the moon, for decades doesn’t mean it’s easy. And that’s ok.
“I don’t need easy. I just need possible.”
— Katie Bone, 16-year old nationally-ranked athlete and Type 1 diabetic
