The Mission Is Under Way: 50 Years In The Making
In this episode, Jim Lang and Mike Wixson dive into the historic Artemis 2 mission. This isn't just a "one-and-done" trip; it’s the foundation for a permanent lunar base and the eventual journey to Mars.
In this video, we discuss:
The Mission: 10 days, 4 astronauts, and a million-kilometer journey around the dark side of the Moon.
Canadian Pride: Former F-18 pilot Jeremy Hansen represents Canada on this elite 4-person crew.
Tech Upgrades: From 8.8 million pounds of thrust to a heat shield that survives 2,800°C (the surface of the Sun!).
The "Space Gym": How Chris Hadfield’s research helped design the exercise equipment keeping astronauts healthy in zero gravity.
Why the Moon? Why building a lunar base is the essential "stepping stone" to reaching Mars.
From the legendary math of the Apollo era to the high-tech Orion capsule, the race is back on. Are we ready to stay this time?
