Artemis II Countdown | Earth's Next Giant Leap

Описание: December 1972. The last human footprints on the Moon.

For 50 years, humanity hasn't ventured beyond low Earth orbit. That silence is about to break.

February 2026 - Artemis II launches four astronauts on a 10-day mission that will test every limit of American engineering. Not to land on the Moon, but to prove we can survive deep space. Quarter million miles from home. No backup plan. No second chances.

Inside the Orion capsule, the ECLSS life support system creates oxygen, scrubs CO₂, and recycles every drop of water. Because in the void, a broken valve isn't a data point—it's a death sentence.

The return? 25,000 miles per hour. 5,000°F heat shield temperatures that vaporize steel. But NASA's skip re-entry technique doesn't just survive—it skips across the atmosphere like a stone on water, cutting G-forces in half and steering to safety.

This isn't nostalgia. This is the bridge to Mars. The dress rehearsal for humanity's greatest journey.
