April 2Apr 2 They are currently just over 40,000 miles from Earth. This is fantastic. A manned mission to the Moon that I can watch in real time. I was five years old when Apollo 17 went to the Moon, so I do not remember it at that time.

April 2Apr 2 Always found this stuff amazing ever since watching the early apollo tests flights but was hoping for somewhat better pictures considering we've advanced nearly 60 years in tech since Apollo 17.

Indeed you'd have though he would have loaned them some of his starlink stuff being as they let him launch the Falcons from 39A 🤣 Brian Thomas MSFS2020/24, Intel i9-14900K, GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER Panther OC 16GB GDDR6X, MSI MAG Z790 TOMAHAWK WIFI (LGA 1700) DDR5, Corsair Vengeance RGB 64GB (2X32GB) DDR5 5600MHz, BenQ PD3205U 32” UHD monitor, Win 11 Pro 64-bit,

Apollo 9 paved the way for Tom Stafford and Gene German to test the LEM in Lunar Orbit on Apollo 10, taking it down to 50,000 feet above the Lunar surface.
