With all the news of Artemis 2, it reminded me of our excitement to see the International Space Station when it came over our bungalow three years ago. It literarily crossed over us going West to East at the exact time that was forecast, 6:37pm!
These are the Artemis 2 Astronauts
How amazing is that! I find this sort of technology fascinating, especially as we didn't even have a television, when I was growing up in the 40s and 50s.
The next time is will be over UK is May 2026!
It obits the earth approx 16 times a day!! WOW! An obit takes 90 minutes at the speed of 17,500 mph. There are 6 or 7 people in it at a time staying approx 3 to 6 months, altho one astronaut stayed for 12 months!!
What a wonderful world we live in and how amazing too.
Are you as amazed as I am?

Yes! I remember looking at the moon in July 1979 marvelling that there were 3 men up there
