O Captain! My Captain! 🚀 “I’m excited about it, our team is excited about it, it is a big milestone, and it is the last big test before launch. So, when I say that, even now, I get a little bit of goosebumps… are we ready? We are ready, our team has been training for this; we’ve gone through our tabletops, we’ve gone through our procedures, we’ve gone through our training… it’s a very exciting time.” #Artemis I launch director Charlie Blackwell-Thompson discusses the final prelaunch test, known as wet dress rehearsal, for our upcoming mission to the Moon and back. Teams will practice every phase of the countdown, including weather briefings, pre-planned holds in the countdown, conditioning and replenishing the propellants as needed, and validation checks. A launch date will be announced following a successful completion of the test. Credit: NASA/Joel Kowsky #STEM #LaunchDirector #NASAKennedy #WHM #WomensHistoryMonth #MegaMoonRocket #SpaceLaunchSystem
