And you only have to look at the mission reports for the Apollos to realise how close they came to dying many times - not just 13.

Quite.

12's emergency remains my absolute favourite of them all. Listening to the recording from the onboard voice recorder, you get all the caution and warning hell caused by the lightning strikes, the quick back and forth with the 'SCE to AUX' call, the resolution, flight continues and everything calms down...and then the crew bust into hysterical laughter :cry:

If you need something to watch, this guy has made some amazing documentaries about the whole Apollo program and others - worth a watch.

Think there are around 16 cameras or so on Orion, in many different locations so hopefully we get some great footage, assuming Orion survives reentry.

Solid overview of the full scope of this mission objective.

Seems that the early stages of For All Mankind are happening :cool:
 
Arrival at the moon.
The outbound powered flyby will begin at 1244 , with Orion’s closest approach to the Moon targeted for 1257, when it will pass about 80 miles above the lunar surface. Engineers expect to lose communication with the spacecraft as is passes behind the Moon for approximately 34 minutes starting at 1226.The Goldstone ground station, part of NASA’s Deep Space Network, will acquire the spacecraft once it emerges from behind the Moon.

We should have some video after this.
