NASA Nerds... keep your eyes to the sky this evening.

No April fools joking here... NASA is counting down to launch the Artemis II rocket tonight at 6:24.... on route to circle the MOON. First time in more than 50 years. If you're in Florida or coastal Georgia you might be able to see that launch for the first 2 minutes until it gets too high to watch.

Fake. Moon is fake. Rocket is fake. Nighttime is fake. Florida is fake. Baimun is actually a joke started by Andy Kaufman.

Wait... did I post this under my Smurfco pseudonym?... oh wait....

Good luck and Godspeed. That launch vehicle is massive.

I'm looking forward to it. I wish them nominal launch and ascent conditions across the board.

Never a Straight Answer is missing a major opportunity by not launching off the southernmost tip of Florida. Think of the hilarious charts and graphics.

Soooo much roomier than the Apollo capsules were. Buzz is probably rolling his eyes, lol.

As per the usual, any time there's something worth seeing in the sky, we'll have cloudy skies with chances of thunderstorms.

Hope all goes well!

If someone uses a Sharpie to add more circles to that map, more people will see glimpses of the launch.

God dammit, another NASA rocket with a shitty finish. Wake me up when it's Surf Green or at least Sunburst.

I just realised I'm going to spend the next week following a mission to THE FUCKING MOON!!!

This is pretty fun. All the ISS and earlier orbital work is important, but nothing is like going to the moon.

Too High to Watch was coincidentally the name of my Stoner Jam bands second album. I don't remember the subsequent tour, but I've been told we sucked.

Space Toilet Catastrophe sounds like a needlessly tedious post-hardcore/math rock act on a local bill with 8 bands. They’re on right between Meat Kazoo and TJ Fartmaxxing.

Was it designed by this guy?

It was the negative pressure (AKA: Fart Fan) modulation device, which was easily fixed.
