So an #ArtemisII first attempt a week from tomorrow, it appears. The 10day expedition around the moon should be interesting if they can pull it off.

Fingers crossed - it'll be a nice distraction from other news (hopefully not too much of a distraction that it's exploited for more abuses)

Four Artemis II astronauts stand, with two on each side of a planning table. At the back is the Canadian astronaut Jeremy Hansen with a maple leaf on his shoulder

Gotta say i would not be the slightest surprised if the current US regime threatens to pull our CSA astronaut as just general bully tactics. Presumably there are alternates in case of illness/injury.

Honestly, I'm surprised they haven't tried to yank all the women and PoC staff due to DEI bigotry.
