Tracking Artemis I as it Returns to Earth!

Thanks, Doc!

Looks like the 1-star tards are busy. They probably miss the irony of awarding stars to an astronomy thread.

Pulleez. Nonsense. Public mockery and public robbery.

I'm tracking it myself. Show evidence that I'm faking it.

Are those satellites continually moving from upper right part of center to lower left part?

Faint and regular. Are those Starlinks?

Sounds like you're describing the motion Orion is making?

WOW!

Looks like they will do the double dip skipped re-entry method this time. Same as with Apollo 4 but apparently never repeated afterwards. Later Apollo did a steeper entry with a single continuous deceleration and not the first high 7g peek, zero g again and then 3g cycle. Now waiting for the debunking...

Do you think we'll be able to eyeball the re-entry from AZ? I was under the impression it's splashing down off the Baja peninsula, but wasn't sure if it was coming down over CONUS or if it was coming in over the Pacific.

The last time I was able to eyeball one of ours coming in was STS-107 Columbia, and that was a morning I'll never forget.

Thanks. I didn't realize it was a time lapse. At first I just watched the middle of the video for a few seconds.

I guess it pays to actually watch the video to know what is happening. :)

Are we getting pictures/video from onboard?

What the planet looks like from out there?

Wrong.

Please watch this video. I've been tracking it since launch and verified that it did indeed not only get to space but left earth orbit for the moon. I thought you were smarter than this Noticed.

Yes we are. And it's beautiful.

Not so "wow"....

Happy 50 years Apollo 17

I wish the Artemis program wasn't so heavily delayed, but at least it's making progress. We have the equivalent of the Apollo 4 and Apollo 6 mission rolled into one here, and unlike Apollo 6 this one is going pretty smoothly.
