TWiS 202: Artemis Imminent

This Week in Space is live:

We’re getting so close to Artemis 2—it’s actually happening! Here’s what we get into:

:rocket: Artemis 2 is rolling to the launch pad with an early April target—NASA’s ditching the wet-dress rehearsal and just going for it once fueling checks out

:crescent_moon: Big changes coming for Artemis III—lunar lander docking tests before touchdown, reshaping how we return to the Moon

:sun: Solar activity could pose real risks to the crew, and we’re comparing this mission to Apollo 8 and 13

:boxing_glove: The lander competition heats up between Blue Origin and SpaceX—who wins the contract to get us back?

The crew’s about to arrive at Kennedy for quarantine, and this whole program is evolving in fascinating ways. Mike Wall from Space.com breaks down all the latest.

What do you think? Let us know after you listen.
