Exciting! I hadn’t heard about this!
Were you able to view the lunar eclipse? I set up and waited through all of totality, but we have been very overcast in this area lately. Luckily the clouds broke a little and I was able to see the moon as it went dark, but no red.
No I didn’t see it, though it was more because my cats wake me up like clockwork at 4:00 every morning and I was asleep 
Fair enough! It was at a crazy early/late time. I was determined to stay up all night for it, even though it was a crap shoot’s chance of getting a good look. My own cat was pretty upset that I never went to bed.
New launch date: Monday, November 14 
China sending crewed mission to mars in 2033:
Who’s up tomorrow (Nov 16) at 1:04 a.m. Eastern Time (North America)? My European friends get to watch this while they’re having breakfast! 
Me on the other hand, I’ll probably sleep through it and catch up in the morning.

Actually pulled out my dslr back on the eve of oct 31 / nov 1st and just remembered to grab this photo off of it. This seemed like a good place to share it 
Beautiful! That came out really well.
Hmmmm… maybe seeing an Apollo lander there 
Not me 
I’m already at work at that time 
You and I will both be watching it a few hours after it happens then
And, liftoff!
The Orion spacecraft (the part of the mission that’s going around the Moon) can be tracked in real time. NASA has instructions here:

I was able to read the blog with instructions (the link above) on my iPhone browsers but had trouble with the link they give for live-tracking the spacecraft. It’s possible that I need to try a different browser though; I didn’t spend a lot of time with it. In any case, the blog post with links is above - hopefully it will work for some of you!
Edit to add:
I checked it on my laptop browser, the Artemis Real-time Orbit Website (AROW) loads fine there, no problems interacting with it and tracking the spacecraft’s progress - so if you’re on a desktop or a laptop (or maybe a tablet browser too? I don’t know; it didn’t work on my iPhone earlier so I’m not sure), you should be able to access this and track the spacecraft:
Not sure why it didn’t work on my iPhone this morning. Would be interested to know if it works on Android mobile devices.
I can open AROW with my cellphone but the handling is awful 
But wow! I’m excited 
So we’re still a long way off from hibernation on long space voyages, but we’re learning 
One of the beauties of space: seeing Earth as you round the Moon 
Great full documentary on the UFO subject for those interested in the subject
Going to watch it later, I LOVE this stuff 
Me too.
@Pat_m & @Sabrina80, if we’re looking to figure out how we could recognize and respond to signs & signals of intelligent extraterrestrial life, our learning might include this NASA publication on the subject, here:
Very interesting, I know every case they mentioned in the video 
I’m 100% sure that there is in fact something flying around. We don’t know if it’s ETs, maybe it’s Military? Who knows.
I always find it sad that those people who see UFOs are called liars or that someone says they simply had something like a mass hypnosis or panic or something else.
Especially pilots, I think they know the best what looks like a plane or not.
Yeah i knew every case too, looks like we’re two 
nerds
But it’s really well done and the approach is great. The director wanted the most serious and unquestionable witnesses. In the end, it’s really solid. Glad you enjoyed it.
Personally I generally don’t talk about UFOs in public, bored by the usual mocking reactions.
