I was surprised i couldn't find a thread on this. Amongst all the political stuff on HOL, here is a great example of human endeavour.
The lift off was quite impressive. Considering the cost of fuel in the UK, I was wondering how expensive a big tank of Hydrogen and a smaller oxygen tank would cost to fill ?
196,000 gallons of liquid oxygen and 537,000 gallons of liquid hydrogen.
And the crew should be doing close to a million miles on that. that works out about 0.74 MPG
That is better MPG than my Vauxhall Corsa. 🙂

Currently orbiting the earth, deciding whether to go for an orbit of the moon.
What happens now? They will remain in orbit for 24 hours as the crew carries out checks - if all goes well it will get the green light to head around the Moon
 
I felt like a schoolboy again seeing the launch last night. Watched with my wife, daughter and grandson. (the others fell asleep). Brilliant.
 
It's looking good to try for the looping of the moon. We should know very soon, if they are going to go for it.
 
Look at this purveyor of all things truthful - he this is all you need to know. The launch was a fake.
I also didn't realise (from his show on 30 Marc)h that death of King Charles was supposed to be announced last Thursday, but the deep state cancelled it to make people like him look foolish ...

I don't really want to look at it.

Wasn't it announced in 1649?
 
it's looking like they're going for the lunar fly-by. Hoping for some detailed photos of the lunar surface. Maybe focus on the tonnes of junk that NASA has left on the moon , and an Enforcement Notice from the US EPA to clean up their inter-planetary fly tipping.
