I’m sure I don’t need to tell you about the incredible Artemis II mission that we watched all around the world as this courageous team of 4 were sent off toward the moon! Well not so fast because there has been so much more released by NASA on the way and this stuff is going to blow your mind. Along with that, plenty to cover around SpaceX’s Starbase and other missions firing off for what has been a week that no one is going to forget! Hey, Hey Marcus House with you here, and I’m just so happy to be able to finally say that we have astronauts on the way to the moon for the first time in over 53 years! Also a while I felt a little lost for words watching the huge event unfold. I wasn’t able to witness the previous lunar missions live obviously, and for much of my life I’ve wondered what it would be like to see us heading back out to the moon. Not just to demonstrate that we can, but to truly start the process of returning more permanently. Well, it feels like we have just started something that has been lost for so long, but as we’ve been talking about over the past month or more. It has all led to this first step with the crew preparing to strap in for the nailbiting adventure of a lifetime. I mean, with the many distractions here at home, how nice it is to see us building up to a worldchanging future of humanity back out exploring away from Earth. This mission of course is all about having the crew test everything possible with the Orion spacecraft with plenty of manual control tests. It also means NASA and all those related commercial partners can tweak anything needed and better plan the next steps for Artemis III testing in Low Earth Orbit, and then Artemis IV where we will have astronauts back on the surface of the moon. This is quite literally history unfolding and just take a moment to put yourself in the seat there with the four crew. Up front Reid Wiseman, not just a commander, but someone who’s had to explain to his two daughters the impact that a mission like this will have on the world. A leader for sure, but a single father after losing his wife in 2020 to cancer, and carrying all the weight that comes with it on this mission around the moon. With him Victor Glover with the steady, calm hands needed to Pilot Orion on this epic endeavour. Remember they will be taking this spacecraft, never flown in space by astronauts before, not just in a Low Earth Orbit mission where they can return in an hour or two if there is a problem, but instead days away after a trans-lunar injection burn puts them on a trajectory that has a much more dire consequence if anything goes wrong. Depending on where they are in the mission at this point they are potentially many days away from being able to even get back home, so they are not messing around here. Victor of course has already seen Earth from orbit before in that epic Crew-1 mission in 2020. We then have the mission specialists on the mission. Christina Koch looked eager and ready the other day after the four arrived at the agency’s Kennedy Space Center. Given that she has already spent nearly a year in space, and farther from normal life than most of us can imagine, she knows what it means to be isolated, to be tested. To then hold a mission specialist position with the crew and head further away from Earth than anyone in well over half a century, that takes some real guts. Now Jeremy Hansen almost feels like the odd one out perhaps, because this is the first mission into space. Imagine that! Not just going to space for the first time, but on a vehicle that is heading around the moon. He is of course representing the Canadian Space Agency along with the three NASA crew. Obviously this makes him the first Canadian to venture away from Earth which is pretty amazing. As he said, it’s hard to say goodbye to your family for such a mission, but was absolutely fired up to feel those engines light up for the experience of a lifetime. The crew all understand the gravity and dangers of this mission. They’ve trained for years preparing for it, and they know that this is the initial steps is crucial preparation for everything that follows. I mean, for sure they are standing on the shoulders of giants, but also, they’re becoming giants themselves. The tradition of taking an extra novelty crew member in the form of a zero-g indicator plushie has been kept with this mission. This is Rise, designed for Artemis II by third grade student Lucas Ye. Other than being the zero-G indicator it also has the job of keeping the SD card with all those names from the Send Your Name with Artemis campaign stored within. Now there were a couple of hiccups approaching launch, one with a range radar system and another issue with the battery on the launch abort system, but ground teams were really quick on their feet and these were cleared in no time. Anyway, as we watched the crew strap in and going through all those final checks, it was finally time for the countdown. It did prompt some to ask why we were all getting so excited as those final seconds ticked off! “We’re going back to the freaking moon, that’s why! ” Yes, I couldn’t put it better myself! Counting down though the final minute, no hiccups, no delays. It was go time! “And here we go… 10, 9, 8, 7, RS-25 engines lit, 4, 3, 2, 1, booster ignition

and lift off. The Crew of Artemis II now bound for the moon. Humanity's next great voyage begins! ” Finally there was the SLS leaving the planet to send the crew around the moon and wow have we seen some incredible views of all this. It’s without doubt one for the history books, and was live all around the world paving the way to an inspiring new push for exploration. Just rewinding a little though, check out this neat little detail here. From this angle you’ll notice that the emergency egress baskets were released to get out of the way as the rocket takes off from the pad. They’re doing this to protect them from all that fiery violence from NASA’s most powerful rocket blasting away as it clears the tower. Now since the flight we have had so many new views of the beast taking off from launch pad 39B at Kennedy Space Center. Such great shots of the Space Launch System leaving the atmosphere in fact that I can quite literally look at this all day! This video alone just released goes for well over 40 minutes and has a goldmine of breathtaking angles. The quality of the live stream itself was a little basic sadly but they’ve certainly made up for that with the releases that followed. Two minutes into the launch, there went the SRBs, leaving the core stage with the four RS-25 engines to take the remainder of the vehicle with Orion named “Integrity” and the crew the rest of the way to space. Following that there goes the fairings, and then the abort system jettison. The next milestone was at T+8 minutes as the core stage engines cut off, followed by stage separation! That looks like something straight out of a movie, and there we were with just Orion and the interim cryogenic propulsion stage or ICPS. With the main ascent part of the mission wrapped up, NASA was able to transition into something less intense with more precision. At around the 20 minute mark, there was the solar array deployment. Those panels slowly unfold, almost like Orion stretching its wings for the first time. They play an absolutely critical role in this mission of course keeping the spacecraft alive and powered in this epic adventure. Almost 30 minutes later the next step. To fire up that ICPS engine for perigee raise burn, a small maneuver that raises the altitude at the lowest part of the orbit. That was then followed by another burn an hour later taking Orion into a highly elliptical orbit which was the last burn this would do with the crew still above. Now at this point it is all about testing out Orion and it was also finally safe for the crew to get out of their orange Crew Survival System suits. Soon though, a slight problem!? While they were checking out the toilet they noticed a “blinking fault light”. That meant the teams could not use it until the issue was cleared. Putting that on hold for a moment though, they needed to first undertake one of the coolest and most significant milestones of the Artemis II mission. Three hours after liftoff, Orion separated from the ICPS, but instead of that just drifting away, its role wasn’t complete just yet. The crew were to instead use this for target practice. With Orion they performed a backflip, and Victor now with manual control needed to simulate a potential future docking with a lunar lander. His goal was to get in as close as 30 feet or around 9 metres from the ICPS and perform these intricate maneuvers. He moved Orion around the jettisoned stage, practicing a range of rendezvous and docking scenarios, and if you were watching live, this amazing display went on for about 70-minutes. They even had this target placed on it to use in the simulated operations which was a nice touch, and the vehicle seemed to have performed all this beautifully. Once done Orion autonomously departed from the ICPS leaving that to deploy a few cubesats and perform a disposal burn to re‑enter Earth’s atmosphere over the Pacific Ocean. So back to the pressing issue, thankfully the team on ground with the help of Christina the Space Plumber they fixed Orion’s toilet problem a few hours into the mission. This toilet facility, which is by the way in the floor of Orion, is absolutely a crucial piece of hardware when heading on a 10 day mission with 4 people. There was also a minor issue with the water valve, which was eventually resolved as well. I think it’s worth noting, just in case anyone was wondering, Microsoft is also… lets say, troublesome in space too! “I also see that I have two Microsoft Outlook’s and neither one of those are working so if you want to remote in and check Optimus and those two Outlooks that would be awesome! ” Yes that sure does remind us all of this clip from Space Force, but I’m sure some email issues weren’t causing any real drama. With all that, that marked the end of a very busy day for the crew, and they hopped into their sleeping bags to get some well deserved rest. They were woken up, by mission control soon enough with “Sleepyhead” playing through the cabin and that was because they were coming up to another critical burn. Orion fired its service module engine for about 43

seconds, executing a perigee raise maneuver again so that it was perfectly aligned for what’s next. The critical translunar injection burn. Before that though, back to sleep for a well needed rest. Now entering day 2, the flywheel exercise device was all set up so that the crew could began their fitness routine. [Ad Start] Yes, taking care of your health is super important, and speaking of, a massive thank you to AG1 for supporting this video. This is a great way to support your immune system and stay on top of your health. Drinking this each morning is such a quick, simple, routine. You just mix one scoop of AG1 with water and that’s it! For those of you in the northern hemisphere you’ve now well into Spring, and well, Spring cleaning isn’t just a good time to think about tidying up your home, but all those supplements too! Instead of juggling a bunch of pill bottles, AG1 will replace all those multivitamins, probiotics, and more with the one scoop. You’ve got all of those routine changes going on right!? Spring breaks, festivals, or just the kids’ changes to a sports routine. There is a lot going on, and that doesn’t mean you can’t stay consistent every morning even if you are rushing out the door. Well, these Travel Packs are ideal for just that. There is just so much packed into AG1. The superfoods including B vitamins provide that nutritional support to help your energy stay steady and consistent. There is great support built in here for your immune system powered by antioxidants and probiotics, and AG1 helps maintain that gut health assisting with digestion and nutrient absorption. All combined it supports a healthy brain, nervous system and therefore mood, and I find it helps me feel clearer and more focused throughout the day. So yea, add AG1 to your morning routine by heading to drinkag1. com/marcushouse! Using that link will get you an AG1 Flavor Sampler and a bottle of Vitamin D3+K2 FREE in your Welcome Kit with your first AG1 subscription. 72 dollars in value right there all free! Thank you AG1! [Ad End] Ok, so back to this flywheel exercise device, Victor was smashing out the routing on the live feed here. This was by the way more interesting than you may think because Orion is quite small and we could even see the entire spacecraft shaking here on the live feed. After that and soon enough they were all go for the all important trans lunar injection burn! This is the point of no return because once done the spacecraft is on its way around the moon. This was a lengthy 5 minute and 50 seconds burn of the Orbital Maneuvering System engine which provides 6,000 pounds of thrust. Just those few minutes later and there we go. They are on their way. Now just so you are aware of it NASA seems to have a stream that will be constant from the Orion spacecraft. I’ve got that linked in the description so that you can watch along at any time. It doesn't have commentary but hopefully it’s going to allow us all to watch live as the crew makes their journey around the Moon. In fact this was even streaming as Artemis II began its ascent and NASA says that it will conclude just before Orion splashes down. I also think this is a neat animated graphic that shows the orbital mechanics and maneuvers of the entire mission right here by NASA. They are at this point on a free return trajectory and this will have them pass quite close around the back of the moon, but also potentially further than anyone has ever been before. They then coast all the way back home for splashdown. The entire mission of course is around 10 days which will have them splashing down on Saturday April 11, so yes, stay tuned! There will be much more to dive into here over the next exciting week. So we also of course have plenty of excitement at Starbase in Texas as the momentum builds toward the first Version 3 Starship flight. Lots of final touches are being made, and Booster 19 with Ship 39 are inching closer to that big day. Both Megabay 1 and 2 may have been appearing quiet from the outside but within the story is very different. We have had no further shots of engines entering or exiting either bay but given that the Gigabay in front is now being filled out and covered with cladding the views that we have are now being progressively more restricted. It is a bit of a shame for us outside, but there are of course other avenues. Here is Raptor 3 engine number 87 and it was spotted on live cameras at the McGregor Testing Facility thanks to NSF. This engine of course was previously installed on Booster 19 and we could see that when it was being lifted on and off of the launch mount for its 10 engine static fire. We are also seeing more focus on the second version 3 Booster number 20 which has been having its Liquid Oxygen header tank and aft sections arrive! These are the final sections to roll out for the liquid oxygen tank so stacking of the methane tank shouldn't be far behind! Now while workers progress through all the engine installation for the full stack though the upgrades and modifications to both Masseys and the Launch site have not stopped. Starting at Masseys

### [15:00](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fYm7-eWFy60&t=900s) Segment 4 (15:00 - 20:00)

we can see the Liquid Oxygen tanks over here have now been completely removed. Two of those have shown up at Mcgregor for refurbishment or to be sold off I assume, and the 3rd smaller tank sitting is still just sitting at the port waiting to be shipped away. It appears that the large tanks being stored over toward the side of the site here will be replacing those which should substantially boost the propellant capacity they will have to play with! If we then jump over to the flame trench being prepared for the Ship static fire we can see a bunch of scaffolding has been removed from the vertical support structure. There’s a few other additions to the static fire stand now actually! Check out these Raptor vacuum engine support’s that we have been waiting on. These are required to dampen any warping or vibrations within the much larger engine bell used on those three outside engines. That’s because when they fire these at sea level with our thick atmosphere that causes all sorts of stability issues. When they ignited in a vacuum, no problem of course so this is only needed for the static fire. What you may notice is that they are much slimmer, and take up less space in the skirt area than the previous stand design. A more surprising addition perhaps though are these manifolds being installed to the top deck of the stand, along with more just underneath it here! These actually seem very similar to the systems on top of the old suborbital stands from years ago at the launch. This was of course all before the Massey's Test Site was even a thing. If you’ve been following along for that length of time you may recall these which were used to fire pressurized nitrogen gas towards the aft of the ships. That detonation suppression system forced a continuous flow of the inert gas to flow around the engines and avoid any unwanted explosive gasses from building up. It’s sort of like the old detonation suppression system on Pad 1 as well, just without the water. Anyway with these finishing touches being made to the stand we hope to be seeing this rolling back to the build site to pick up Ship 39 for that static fire! Now over at the launch site SpaceX is racing along getting all the methane lines swapped out on these pipe racks. Once done this of course will mean that they can start to use the four new gigantic tanks they’ve recently installed. Some of those fill lines are already frosty in this view which run all the way back to the smaller methane tanks. It is worth noting that there are already more pedestals for further tanks with 2 more outlets on this new manifold ready for their arrival. They are also moving the methane delivery point over here. So yes, based on all that it seems like SpaceX is very close to removing these small tanks. It’s an important step there because once they are out of the way the team can begin rearranging the tank farm to include the new land now acquired! We also now see this week that the Liquid Oxygen line in the tank farm that heads off to the new towers ship quick disconnect has finally been hooked up. SpaceX began to purge those lines on Wednesday, all the way up to the end of the ship's quick disconnect interface. We could see venting coming from all the various outlets on the arm including the tri-vent on the back of the tower which we can see here in this awesome shot by Colleen with NSF all frosted up! All this presumably needs to be checked and ready to go before a full 33 engine static fire. Now up above the monstrous new roof section is being welded into place and they've also been rapidly installing the cladding across the front face of the tower for the first time! Shaun had some nice views of this. Certainly not a job for the faint hearted. These panels will better protect everything inside the roof area including all the pulley systems for the tower arms. As always we love being out there to pick all this up so thanks for being subscribed and following along. The team have also removed the alignment sockets that the Super Heavy sat on which is kind of intriguing. These we can see here in this render by Chromekiwi. They were sitting here nearby and we’re not sure why they've done this. I’m wondering if SpaceX has discovered something that needs some slight tweaks after the first few lifts. Imagine I guess that there may have been a slight misalignment to adjust or even modifications required to the arms themselves. Thankfully they weren't off for long, and were soon seen on the live cameras being reinstalled. Now this was also pretty darn cool to watch. The tower arms have again sprang to life first being extended wide and proceeded to be opened and closed around 25 times! Watching it closely we could see they were all getting progressively quicker before finally opening and closing at what we can probably assume is their highest speed. This is the first time in almost a year that we are seeing this kind of testing at this pad, and given it all seems to be with the recently switched out mechanisms, it certainly seems to

### [20:00](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fYm7-eWFy60&t=1200s) Segment 5 (20:00 - 25:00)

be driven by very beefy electric motors now. They even took the opportunity to fire off the deluge system as if to perhaps simulate a catch scenario! We have a few quick updates around Pad 1 being rapidly upgraded. The sheet piles for both sides of the flame trench are now complete with some extras along the right edge here for the large commodities bunker! They will eventually begin bringing those sheet piles around the backside of the tower to join it up with its own deluge farm. That will connect it into the tank farm expansion area here! Jet grouting is also still going strong inside the trench and they appear to be about 75% done with that, so once that is all finished they will soon begin to excavate! We had another big week for Falcon 9 too! Monday SpaceX kicked off an action packed Transporter mission lifting off there from Vandenberg Space Force Base. This was the 16th mission of this kind and it was heading into a sun-synchronous low Earth orbit, carrying 119 payloads. It was Booster 1093 making its 12th landing there on Of course I still love you. Now the payload stack as always is the most impressive part of these missions. Exolaunch was handling 57 out of the 119 payloads, but the customer list spans more than a dozen countries. That includes governments, startups, and academic missions with CubeSats, PocketQubes, and all sorts of stuff. As always, you can check out the full list from the website. To me this was one that really stood out though, Gravitas from K2 Space. This thing is on a completely different level compared to the typical rideshare payloads. It is about two metric tons all by itself, it’s got a 40-meter wingspan once deployed, and should generate about 20 kilowatts of power. Yes, that’s not really a small satellite at all and was carrying 12 undisclosed payload modules from different customers. This also by the way has a 20 kilowatt electric thruster, which is I believe the most powerful hall effect thruster that has flown at this point, so I’m really interested to see how this particular mission goes. Along with that there were also others like Varda here flying another reentry vehicle as they continue to push their goals of enabling manufacturing in orbit so that companies can effectively bring materials back down. Anyway late in the afternoon we had the next big record breaking milestone for Falcon 9. Booster 1067 was once again away with Starlink Group 10-44 from the east coast, this time it was on its 34th flight though! Wow has this booster been leading the fleet for a while, and it’s kind of staggering to think that SpaceX has been able to keep pushing the reuse counts even higher. A view of the 29 satellites on board there, and as always, the question was could the booster make the record landing too? Well, of course because there we go! Precise, and right on target for its 34th landing. Now interestingly a day earlier on Sunday we had learned that SpaceX experienced an anomaly of some sort with one of their Starlink satellites at around 560 kilometres in altitude which resulted in a complete loss of communication with that unit. Based on what was known there was no added risk to the International Space Station or upcoming missions. SpaceX mentioned they are were tracking the satellite and any potential debris while they investigate the root cause. This is the second case of this sort of thing that we’ve seen in recent times, but with over 10,000 of them up there now they’re never going to entirely rule out a broken satellite. Anyway to wrap up Starlink for the week just the Group 10-58 mission remained, leaping off the pad at Space Launch Complex 40 early Thursday morning. A terrific clear morning I might add as Falcon 9 shot another batch of 29 satellites out of the atmosphere. A Shortfall of Gravitas was waiting down range for this one and there was landing number 15 for booster 1085. Now finally, right before my video went live last week, Rocket Lab were launching another Electron on their 6th launch of 2026. In fact they are going strong this year with around two launches each month and this mission was named "Daughter Of The Stars". An exciting payload actually because they had on board two satellites for ESA’s Celeste which needed to be placed into a low Earth orbit around 510 kilometers in altitude. These satellites are a demonstration for a newer and updated navigation program. What the European Space Agency want to do is complement and support their existing Galileo navigation system in medium Earth orbit. The goal is to improve positioning reliability along with the performance which includes latency benefits since this new layer of navigation satellites would be placed in this lower orbit. These first two spacecraft are going to test out the key technology for that architecture, so if all goes well here we should be seeing some clear benefits for even more accurate positioning. So there we go my friends, another absolutely exciting few days and there is so much more coming up here over the next
