Earth to Mars LIVE! | MDRS Communication Experiment & Interview
The Launch Pad· 2026-02-03 01:28
Today we partner with Crew 328 at the Mars Desert Research Station (MDRS) for a live communication experiment designed to simulate what it’s like to talk to astronauts on Mars. During this broadcast, our conversation with the crew will include an intentional interplanetary-style communication delay, mirroring the time it takes for signals to travel between Earth and Mars. This live interview is part of a broader experiment exploring how delayed communications affect mission operations, teamwork, and public ...
LIVE! Artemis 2 Wet Dress Rehearsal
The Launch Pad· 2026-02-01 02:27
Join us LIVE from NASA Kennedy Space Center in Florida for the 1st Wet Dress Rehearsal of Artemis II; one of the final tests ahead of launch!! The upcoming wet dress rehearsal is a prelaunch test to fuel the rocket. During the rehearsal, teams demonstrate the ability to load more than 700,000 gallons of cryogenic propellants into the rocket, conduct a launch countdown, and practice safely removing propellant from the rocket without astronauts inside the spacecraft. During several “runs,” the wet dress rehea ...
