A second firing of Orion’s main engine Friday at 4:52 p.m. will put Orion in the distant retrograde orbit, so named because the spacecraft will again be moving from left to right, beyond the moon, as viewed from Earth. Six days later, a third main engine firing will send Orion back toward the moon for a second powered flyby on December 5.

That fourth and final burn will put the spacecraft on course for Ocean west of San Diego planned for 12:40 p.m. EST on December 11.

The primary goal of the Artemis 1 mission is to test the Orion heat shield during a high-speed re-entry from the moon when the spacecraft will be subjected to 5,000-degree heat from atmospheric friction.

Assuming the initial test flight goes well and no major problems are encountered, NASA plans to launch the Artemis 2 mission atop a Space Launch System mega rocket in 2024, carrying four astronauts on a trip around the moon.

That flight will be followed by the Artemis 3 mission to land the first buy phone number list woman and the next man near the moon’s south pole in the 2025-26 timeframe.

Farmers have always dealt with the whims of Mother Nature. But now climate change is changing what they can grow and where they can grow it.

The most unusual thing about Joe Franklin’s 78-acre citrus farm is that it really shouldn’t be where it is. “When I first started with it, people couldn’t believe me when I told ’em it was grown right here in Georgia,” they said. “They didn’t believe me; ‘Oh, no, you can’t grow that here!'”
