The closest #Apollo mission to #Artemis2 was #Apollo13. In #Apollo8, the crew went into #orbit around the #Moon (and did ten orbits) whereas the current mission will be a #Swingby as the craft is on a free-return trajectory so there’s no need for a #TransEarthInjection burn or #TEI. Of course Apollo 13 only did that because of the accident. The current crew will be much higher above the lunar surface than former missions.

#Movies . . .
A good movie that I missed when it was released but just watched on #Prime Video.
#InTheHeartOfTheOcean (2015) is directed by #RonHoward, who's filmography of films he has directed is almost as substantial as #Spielberg's with #Splash, #Cocoon, #GungHo, #Backdraft, #ThePaper, #Apollo13, #TheMissing, #CinderellaMan, the #DaVinci Code Trillogy,
#13Lives & this movie(among others) to his credit.Heart of the Ocean is a prequel to #MobyDick in which #HermanMelville is told the reportedly true story of the whaling ship Essex which sank when attacked by a whale, which he uses to write his book.
#ChrisHelmsworth stars in the movie & #CillianMurphy & #BrendanGleeson play supporting roles.
It's an excellent cast & a very good movie which I'd rate a 7 out of 10, even though it only was moderately successful financially & only given luke warm rating elsewhere.

#Politico 📆 11/02/2022 : Don’t count on being #rescued — by #NASA or the #SpaceForce, or even the company that built your private #spaceship.
#Seafaring ⛵ explorers traditionally sailed with #additional #ships, #Apollo missions included #redundant capsules that proved crucial in #saving the #Apollo13 astronauts. #Skylab had #rescue #rockets and #spacecraft on #standby for in-#orbit #emergencies https://www.politico.com/news/2022/11/02/space-rescue-service-astronauts-00064633 -
Hollywood has been erasing women’s contributions from the start. It’s especially disappointing when you realize how sexist is the filmography of likeable guys like Ron Howard and Tom Hanks.
