| 1488210 | 2022-09-04 02:25:00 | It is the first mission in a program that aims to send the first astronauts back to the Moon since Apollo 17 in 1972. That mission, Artemis III, will send the first woman and first person of color to the lunar surface. It is currently slated for a 2025 launch date, though that is largely dependent on the outcome of today’s mission. Are they sending that awful Markle woman? :clap |

| 1488212 | 2022-09-04 19:18:00 | I'm assuming that they call it the Artemis programme as Artemis was the daughter of Zeus and Leto and the twin sister of Apollo in Greek mythology. Does that sound right? |

Moon has had it's time I think. Move on. Well, they can afford it. And the space programme has brought quite a few benefits. My father used to say, "We need another war." meaning that since the end of WW2 the invention of new technologies has slowed. With the advent of the space programme technology is once again on the rise. For example: polytetrafluoroethylene, known as teflon, used in non stick frying pans. That is one of the benefits of the space programme. I'm certain there are many more. But, although it is very interesting, the billions of dollars that they spend on the space programme could be much better spent helping some of the poorer countries of the world - not just giving them money, that does not seem to work - but sending aid to these in need, and we see plenty of that need on the news. |

| 1488217 | 2022-09-04 23:09:00 | And have you heard of the Apollo Light flash moving emulsion detector? It is a black box that completely covers the astronaut’s head. It’s interior is lined with a silver bromide film that can detect cosmic rays. It completely blocks their vision so it is completely dark. They could see large subtle white flash in the upper right eye - eyes open or shut all astronauts report flashes, the same spot a white streak, they seem to come in clusters. The detectors record cosmic rays passing through the helmet. The astronauts report a flash at exactly the same time as a cosmic ray blasts through the helmet. I thought that you might find that interesting. It's something that all the astronauts have experienced. |
