From the article about the soon launch of Artemis:
Space agency officials say liftoff is scheduled for Monday, August 29, during a two-hour window that opens at 8:33 a.m. ET.
The bright new SLS rocket stands taller than the Statue of Liberty, at 23 stories, with the spaceship secured up top. Four car-sized engines and two rocket boosters should give it enough thrust to push through the thickest parts of the atmosphere. If everything goes smoothly, Orion will clock a total distance of approximately 1.3 million miles over 42 days. It will zip as close as 60 miles above the lunar surface, allowing lunar gravity to sling it 40,000 miles past the moon before heading back to Earth for a splashdown in the Pacific Ocean in October.
It will... splash down in October?
Fed Chair Powel warns of "pain" coming soon.
