HOORAY ARTEMIS II… on its rocket launch last week that had the world on its edge. We will be on the edge of our seats as well when the crew and rocket returns on April 10. On Monday evening news agencies reported on the 45-minute communication blackout. This is when the Moon physically blocks radio signals between spaceship Orion and Earth, there is no direct line of sight to antennas on Earth. It was expected and planned and mission control just had to wait until the spaceship came back into view to confirm everything went well. Congratulations NASA on a successful launch to the Moon for a flyby!
