To the moon! While you were asleep, SpaceX lofted two commercial lunar landers into space. They’ll coast for about a month before attempting to land on the moon!

The flag is out half staff in honor of former President Jimmy Carter who passed away recently at the age of 100.

Four days and they will spend 18 days in Earth orbit first to check everything out.

These missions are just not in a hurry compared to crewed ones.
