And, you know, it's a big to-do.

There'll be more people pouring in as we get closer to the launch.

Wow.

Okay.

So it's my understanding that

That's right, yeah.

So the earliest is 6.24 p.m.

Eastern Time on Wednesday, April 1st, but it could be delayed by anything.

There could be weather rolling in, there could be technical glitches, like maybe a hydrogen leak, and if they have to delay, it depends on what the nature of the problem is, but it takes like

24 to 48 hours to get things reset up so they can try again.

But they think over the next week, they're going to have several launch opportunities.

So people are feeling pretty good that we could see this go.

Cool.

Fingers crossed.

So this is the first flight of the Orion capsule with a crew on board.

So this is a chance for them to test out this vehicle with people on board.

And that means testing everything from life support to, you know, even the toilet.

This is going to be the first toilet to go around the moon, which is pretty exciting.

I think so.

Once they get into space, the Orion capsule separates from the upper stage of the rocket and they spend a while kind of doing maneuvers around that upper stage of the rocket to kind of practice what it would be like to have the Orion capsule doing rendezvous, doing maneuvers.
