CAPE CANAVERAL, FL – I was interviewed live by WESH 2 NBC News Orlando on Jan. 14 about a very busy period right now for NASA with the NASA SpaceX Crew-11 early undocking and medical evacuation today from the International Space Station (ISS) of a Crew Dragon with an ailing astronaut, a NASA Artemis II human Moon mission launch status update and the new leadership at NASA following the recent confirmation of tech billionaire Jared Isaacman as NASA Administrator.
The live interview of Ken Kremer of Space UpClose with WESH 2 NBC News Orlando took place at 7 p.m. ET Jan. 14 just 90 minutes hours after the undocking of the NASA SpaceX Crew Dragon Endeavour with 4 astronauts from the ISS – and just hours before the splashdown planned for 3:41 a.m. ET Jan. 15 in the Pacific Ocean.
“Dr. Ken Kremer, a research chemist, joined the conversation to provide context on the upcoming Crew-11 mission, the Artemis II project and the new administrator,” said WESH 2 NBC News Orlando
Rollout of NASAs Artemis II mission and the SLS/Orion rocket is scheduled for Saturday morning, Jan. 17 around 7 a.m. We discussed the status of the mission and the critical tasks to be accomplished in the next 2 week before the mega rocket can blastoff with 4 astronauts from NASA’s Kennedy Space Center pad 39B on a flyby mission around the Moon – and how this sets up the Artemis III human landing mission later this decade
Finally we discussed the recent confirmation of Jared Isaacman as new NASA Administrator and the challenges ahead with the much delayed SpaceX Starship Human Lunar Lander required for Artemis III that’s far behind schedule and the race to the Moon with China also targeting a human lunar landing by 2030.
Watch my analysis and commentary about NASA Crew-11 undocking from ISS this Wednesday afternoon, Jan. 14 for early return to Earth with an ailing astronaut & NASA Artemis II moon launch status update with rocket rollout to NASA KSC pad 39B Jan. 17 and launch date NET Feb. 6. Also – whats ahead with Artemis III moon landing far behind schedule since SpaceX moon lander years behind schedule – challenges for the new NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman:
