4. Launch after-party
Before the big decision Go/No Go to the Moon, a successful liftoff deserves some analysis. Maggie, Tim, Kristin Fisher and Rebecca Morelle do their best after a long night.
The moment we’ve all been waiting for… Nasa’s Artemis II mission has launched.
Next up is the big decision whether to commit to the lunar flyby and the big engine burn that will need. Testing systems and life-support continues, with engine burns slowly lifting the height of the earth orbit, raising the speed at which the Trans Lunar Injection (TLI) leap into history can begin.
Season 4 theme music by Hans Zimmer and Christian Lundberg and produced by Russell Emanuel, for Bleeding Fingers Music.
