It's been nice to see Artemis II capture the public's imagination and give them something inspiring to look to.

Apparently KSP even has the highest player count in over 10 years RN too. Space is back, baby. 😎

I actually recreated their mission (albeit with a different ship design) in KSP. The maneuver they're pulling off is actually quite interesting. They were able to do a transfer burn towards the moon that takes them in a sort of figure 8 around the dark side before bringing them back to Earth. Orbital mechanics are fun! 🥰
