February 3Feb 3 Administrators Hit that leak with a welding torch! 😉 Guess that would be like looking for a gas leak on your furnace using a lighted match! Can believe my dad always did that! 💥 Charlie AronAVSIM Board of Directors-ADMIN/Moderator-RegistrarJust going to run a Chromebook and not upgrade to a Windows computer.

February 3Feb 3 Moderator Better to err on the safe side and not rush things. Get the kinks worked out and do it right.
February 4Feb 4 We have had enough NASA tragedies. Too many really. I can't imagine the complexity of that machine and all the safety checks required. Best to protect the four souls on board. Maybe it will be warmer by March? At least tropical depression/hurricane season doesn't start until June 1st. Tom MAKA = Make America Kind Again

February 21Feb 21 I just read were the launch is now delayed until sometime in April. They are moving it back to the assembly building to fix a problem with a helium valve. MSN reports, "The space agency revealed the latest problem just one day after targeting March 6 for the Artemis II mission, humanity’s first flight to the moon in more than half a century. Overnight, the flow of helium to the rocket’s upper stage was interrupted, officials said. Solid helium flow is essential for purging the engines and pressurizing the fuel tanks." I guess we'll all wait some more. It must be frustrating for the astronauts. Tom MAKA = Make America Kind Again
March 13Mar 13 Administrators Hold on to your butts, Looks like April 1 for the launch.

March 13Mar 13 You all may have already heard this, but now NASA has stated that Artemis 3 will not land on the moon and instead will only orbit. The actual moon landing date has been pushed back to 2028. It's astounding to me that 55 years later, with all our vaunted technology and capabilities, we're having difficulty sending people back to the moon. So you're telling me that people with 1960s technology were able to do it, but we can't? Something has definitely changed, and it's not the technology, which has actually vastly advanced, but something else more profound, which has stifled our ability to accomplish great and difficult things.
