Thanks my friend ,the first unmanned trip to and around the moon is set for Aug 29 it has been delayed as you saw in the video .
It’s a very ambitious program but I don’t even think that keeping up with technology as they plan.
That’s what happened to the James Webb telescope they were actually constantly reconfiguring rebuilding reimagining it as the technology came online so they would make the telescope hot off the press soda speak and I obsolete before I got launched.
We have had sucked in weather for over the last week I’m sure you’re getting some of it so being in Florida and again I cannot say it enough thank you so much for the rest of those APs for that set my viewing has exponentially become so much better!
