12 | Artemis Explained: What a ride

So will there be astronauts on Artemis III?

Science Friction
12 | Artemis Explained: What a ride

They will be, and they haven't actually announced who they are yet yet.

Science Friction
12 | Artemis Explained: What a ride

I think that there was, I mean, those astronauts, the Artemis III astronauts were going to be the ones that landed on the moon.

Science Friction
12 | Artemis Explained: What a ride

So maybe it'd be a bit of a demotion if you're, if you just have to do a couple of orbits of the Earth.

Science Friction
12 | Artemis Explained: What a ride

It would be so nice, yeah.

Science Friction
12 | Artemis Explained: What a ride

Yes.

Science Friction
12 | Artemis Explained: What a ride

So Artemis 4 is when we will hopefully get a moon landing.

Science Friction
12 | Artemis Explained: What a ride

We sure could.

Science Friction
12 | Artemis Explained: What a ride

Actually, it's already happening.

Science Friction

So the European Space Agency's Moonlight Program is actually hoping to launch a network of satellites, and that will be around the moon.

Science Friction
12 | Artemis Explained: What a ride

So it'll work quite similar to the way that they do on Earth, and it'll mean that when a spacecraft goes around the moon, they'll be able to use that satellite around

Science Friction

that would be closer to Earth and visible from Earth so that we could just get the connection directly, and we wouldn't have any of those blackouts that we had on this mission.

Science Friction

Peter, you are my kind of nerd.

Science Friction
12 | Artemis Explained: What a ride

I love it.

Science Friction
12 | Artemis Explained: What a ride

Do we have time to go into this?

Science Friction
12 | Artemis Explained: What a ride

So put really simply, if you're moving really fast and your gravity is different, you will experience time differently.

Science Friction
12 | Artemis Explained: What a ride

And that happens even in really small amounts on missions like this.

Science Friction
12 | Artemis Explained: What a ride

I couldn't find the data for the Artemis astronauts specifically.

Science Friction
12 | Artemis Explained: What a ride

I'm sure that will come out, but we haven't got it yet.

Science Friction
12 | Artemis Explained: What a ride

But we do know that they will be slightly different.
