NASA: Artemis I
Artemis I will be the first in a series of increasingly complex missions to build a sustained human presence at the Moon for decades to come.

So we flyin to the moon on November 16th?
Orion might be uncrewed in this case but if it goes well at least NASA can say that a spaceship orbited the moon less than 50 years later the last Apollo capsule did. Albeit barely since Apollo 17 left for the moon on December 7th 1972.

PR is poor from the NASA side. There are some pics but they are not amazing, info on what is going on is scarce. So basically we had a fly by but as I understand it we are not yet in lunar orbit...
Could do better.

It does make you wonder if it was a very expensive con

I still doubt it will ever get into lunar orbit - or provide us with absolutely unedited and crisp digital images of the other side of the moon
NASA - "we will be back on the moon by 2030" - 2040 - 20never - you can forget Mars
Funny thing is, more importantly the X37B landed the other day after what nearly 3 years in space somewhere - what has it being doing - where has it been?
Secretive US space plane X-37B lands after record 908 days in orbit
The X-37B has returned to Earth after more than two years in orbit, breaking its previous record – what has it been doing in orbit for so long?

Found Orion.
It is on a very wide orbit of the moon, nothing like the Apollo missions where they were flying 80 miles high. Here we are talking of a lumar orbit that goes up to 100 000 km away from the moon and of course 350 000 further km away from Earth. No spaceship has ever been this far away from our home planet.

Orion captured an Earth eclipse where the moon hid the Earth instead of the sun.

Splashdown is forecasted for December 11th. Some glitches were noted, including a 47 mn communication breakdown.
