    Hi there

    Well I thought I'd start a new thread, just read an interesting exchange
    about the supposed demise of nz.general but saw Crash and Gordon chatting
    away and figured I'd get this one underway :)

    Just watched the landing of Artemis II which (thankfully) went smoothly :)

    Just hunkering down for the cyclone. Radio NZ (RNZ) website has an
    article "What can you do if weather forecast terrifies you" -- well,
    I'd stop reading RNZ.

    Just watched the landing of Artemis II which (thankfully) went smoothly :)

    Yep, some timelines say a permanent manned Moon base in 5 years, call
    it 10. Think China is planning one, too. Will be interesting.

    Just watched the landing of Artemis II which (thankfully) went smoothly :) Watched it yesterday, Nothing much has changed sine 1969 except for
    the technology., I'm sure they took a lot longer with this one
    than the Apollo moon landing to retrieve the astronauts from the
    capsule.

    Good watch though.
    Interestingly there are still a surprising number of "Flat Earther's" who think
    it is all fake. At least they will keep the rest of us amused. Tinfoil hat anyone?

    Golly there's been a lot of crazy and disruptive weather as of late, poor
    old Wellington just got whacked :(

    I agree, the fact that NASA just changed it's Artemis schedules and time
    lines will be one to watch. I thought it was a bit nutty to go from a
    mission around the moon to land on it the next mission..

    Yeah it's sad, must be getting harder to argue the flat earth line in
    2026 :)

    It did seem to take a long time, I'm also not sure why that was.

    The cadence of the missions look like they will pick up.
