i listened to the Artemis II day 1 mission report conference and my favorite things were:
the crew delayed/skipped their lunch (that they should’ve been taking around 8pm eastern) because they were all glued to the windows watching earth recede :’) something so. endearing about these very professional people on a very regimented mission that is scheduled and timed to the nth degree (see bullet point 2) deviating from all that because they’re so captivated by the view
one of the NASA guys said they budgeted “approximately 71 minutes” for one of the post-launch tasks for the crew….. I think we have different definitions of ‘approximately’
“ruggedization” is apparently a word ! delightful
