Hmmmmm... I guess we will see if this is true or just another April Fool's joke.

My computer: ABS Gladiator Gaming PC featuring an Intel 10700F CPU, EVGA CLC-240 AIO cooler (dead fans replaced with Noctua fans), Asus Tuf Gaming B460M Plus motherboard, 16GB DDR4-3000 RAM, 1 TB NVMe SSD, EVGA RTX3070 FTW3 video card, dead EVGA 750 watt power supply replaced with Antec 900 watt PSU.

10’ 9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1, ignition, APRIL FOOLS😂 gotcha folks. We’re really going to do it in August. Come again.

    Apparently these guys are taking Nikon Z5's as they've been shown to be resistant to the radiation.

    Also flagship, mirrorless, Nikon Z9. So we should get some great photography.

    Hope all of the astronuts have bean burritos for breakfast before the launch!  Flatulence in space is
    verboten!  💥

    Just going to run a Chromebook and not upgrade to a Windows computer. Too many problems with the new Sims! 😱
    Trying to keep peace and harmony and the will of Landru on the site seems to be a full time job!

    I see a budding market for that flywheel exercise machines. A compact resistance machine. I wouldn’t mind trying one of those. This could be to Artemis what Velcro and tang ( uh, the orange juice version that is) was to Apollo.

    a bunch......of fun on Wed. afternoon!  I think I need a nap! 😴

    If it all goes tits up and the launch abort system kicks in they'll be subjected to 17G. 

    I would imagine they'll be lying on their backs, so that will help.

    Hopefully the weather will cooperate for the launch.

    Thanks, young Thomas.  Looks like I'm going to have to revive my famous cat points I awarded some time back and grant you one. Perhaps even a gold cat point. 🐈

    Thank you.  A golden cat, wow!  I'll hide it from the dogs, they get very jealous.😉
