This is a great graphic. Really makes it clear they aren't 'flying to the moon' they are flying to where the moon will be. The math involved is crazy to think about even if Newton figured it out by himself while home during the plague outbreak.

Here’s a really cool comparison of the orbits of Apollo 8, Artemis 1 and Artemis 2. I didn’t know the moon’s orbit was that complex.



Also found out my cousin who just graduated from University of Florida with a mechanical engineering degree got a job at Lockheed… fortunately in the space division and not the bombing civilians division. Her team is working on the toilet design for Artemis 3, so they’ve been pretty busy the last week!

Sounds like a crappy job.
 
So Artemis will be in a communications black out when they are behind the moon for about 40 minutes.

The run time of Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the moon is about 40 minutes.

Coincidence, I think not.
