NASA is in final preparation stages for its Artemis 1 moon mission, which will be the first in its Artemis series of missions which intend to return an American man to the Moon, and bring an American woman to the surface of Earth’s natural satellite for the first time. The 335-ft tall mobile launch tower that will send Artemis 1’s Orion capsule to lunar orbit atop a Space Launch System rocket is now on the pad for its last round fo testing before the real thing.
NASA’s Artemis 1 mission will fly the Orion crew capsule to space, where it’ll spend three weeks, including a six-day lunar orbit. The capsule will be fully equipped with all life support systems it would need to actually support a crew onboard, but there won’t be anyone actually on it for this one since the intent is to prove the safety and effective operation of the system prior to Artemis 2, an intended crewed launch to follow Artemis 1 a few years down the road.
Artemis 1 will take off from Launch Pad 39A at Kennedy Space Center in Florida, with an intended launch timeframe of June 2020. The enter launch system has already undergone a lot of testing, both on-site at the towering Vehicle Assembly Building (VAB) where rocket parts are put together at Kennedy, and prior to that as each component has been built. But this final crucial round of testing will be the last on the pad before the rocket actually launches.
Tue ultimate goal of the current stage of the Artemis program is to land astronauts on the lunar surface, which will happen with the third Artemis mission in 2023 if all goes to current plans. Artemis missions thereafter will aim to establish a more permanent presence for humans in space, including ultimately the establishment of a lunar outpost.
Oh , don’t say ‘hits the pad”
So, the first woman on the moon will be named Alice?
Artemis Gordon?
Maybe Alice is a genetic female.
It flies, you could call it “Artimis Fowl”.
Get the moon rocket ready, Artie.
Artemis - Greek goddess of the hunt, the wilderness, wild animals, the Moon, and chastity.
I always wondered why James West’s partner had a women’s name. I just figured some TV writer didn’t do his research!
Thought it sounded cool & cerebral and went with it!
SO billions of taxpayer dollars to put a woman on the moon. What an accomplishment. I do hope they put a black lesbian female on the moon thus checking three boxes. What a worthy goal < /sarcasm>
A boy named Sue, maybe.
As good an explanation as any!
It must be an undocumented, trans-woman to break oppressive, patriarchal rule by the ‘Man on The Moon’.
Oh, golly gee. That is by far the most important and impactful thing about a mission to the moon.
Idiots. Unbelievable idiots.
Ross Martin handled the role well.
And then zhe can kneel by the US flag. On the moon
Well if xhe is an affirmative action hire, zhe will probably forget how to fasten the space suit properly.
Makes sense. Rachel is symbolic of the moon (or the moon is symbolic of Rachel) and is the quintessential mother of *all* Israel, which is why she's called "Rachel Imenu" in the first place.
Rachel Imenu [רחל אמנו] = 335
Just thought I'd toss that out there, because among many other things,
Genesis 1:3 And God said, Let there be light: and there was light [= 238, Rachel].
Apollo was the Greek ideal of a man. You ever see all that stuff Apollo was up to? Talk about a real "Can Do" kind of guy. Artemis was his twin.
"Apollo's chief epithet was Phoebus (/ˈfiːbəs/ FEE-bəs; Φοῖβος, Phoibos Greek pronunciation: [pʰó͜i.bos]), literally "bright".[25] It was very commonly used by both the Greeks and Romans for Apollo's role as the god of light."
Language experts don't have a fix on the ancient origin of the name Apollo, but one theory that jumped out is the connection to Jubal/Yuval (y-->a; b-->p). He was the father of all who handle the harp and organ/pipe, and Apollo is often depicted with a harp. Also,
The cithara is said to have been the invention of Apollo, the god of music.[7] Apollo is often seen playing a cithara instead of a lyre. Kitharoidos, or Citharoedus is an epithet given to Apollo, which means "lyre-singer" or "one who sings to the lyre".psalm (n.)https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kithara
Old English psealm, salm, partly from Old French psaume, saume, partly from Church Latin psalmus, from Greek psalmos "song sung to a harp," originally "performance on stringed instrument; a plucking of the harp" (compare psaltes "harper"), from psallein "play on a stringed instrument, pull, twitch" (see feel (v.)).
Used in Septuagint for Hebrew mizmor "song," especially the sort sung by David to the harp.
A literal "Renaissance man" carved by a Renaissance Man.
Renaissance (n.) "great period of revival of classical-based art and learning in Europe that began in the fourteenth century," 1840, from French renaissance des lettres, from Old French renaissance, literally "rebirth," usually in a spiritual sense, from renastre "grow anew" (of plants), "be reborn" (Modern French renaître), from Vulgar Latin *renascere, from Latin renasci "be born again, rise again, reappear, be renewed," from re- "again" (see re-) + nasci "be born" (Old Latin gnasci, from PIE root *gene- "give birth, beget").
It's the Spirit of Discovery in Gen 1:2, the rebirth of knowledge and learning. It's a simple meaning, in spite of the complicated, failed religious explanations floating around out there. Verse 3 is where the light went on.
Genesis 1:2 And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters [335].

repetitio est mater studiorum: repetition is the mother of learning
I'll go wander off somewhere else now.
