With the launch in the early hours of November 16, 2022, NASA’s Artemis I mission reaches space, there won’t be any astronauts aboard but a familiar face will be floating around the Orion capsule. Snoopy, the famous comic strip beagle, is serving as a “zero-gravity indicator” for the flight.
Artemis I is a test flight for NASA’s giant new Space Launch System rocket and Orion spacecraft. The capsule will spend several weeks in space, swinging around the moon before returning to Earth – trying out a variety of things the space program hasn’t accomplished since the Apollo days, which is when the Snoopy-NASA association began.
Wyatt and Jonah watched…
…as Snoopy took off.

Wonder if Jonah or Wyatt were wishing they could have gone. We’ve heard the moon is made of cheese, after all! XOX Xena, Lucy, Chia and Riley
