There seems to be a common misconception that the Artemis I launch should have appeared to fly directly to the moon. Since I tracked the launch and also captured Orion one orbit after launch and again one day after launch (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0MDBAv-JvmE ) I can use these observations to calculate the orbit of the Orion capsule just after TLI but before the first mid-course correction burn. I imported the orbital elements from my observations into Orbiter Spaceflight Simulator (http://orbit.medphys.ucl.ac.uk/ ) and used a Block I SLS mod to simulate the launch while targeting the orbit I measured. This allowed me to determine if SLS and the ICPS could put Orion on that post-TLI trajectory and if it was possible for Orion to perform a close fly-by of the moon from that trajectory.

Sleeping Warrior neglected to actually show my original experiment. Here's part 1: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kgqqmydSzsA Here's Sleeping Warrior's video where he claims I'm a fraud and my experiment actually shows moonlight makes things colder: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zvH2Cgg7tjg You can judge the results for yourself, but this experiment does have a number of pitfalls. In this video I show you why a magnifying glass may not be the best way to concentrate and measure weak amounts of far infrared light... ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6a56Ta_Nf1M

Music: Rendezvous with Rama by Stellardrone Captured with an 8" Meade LX200 Classic @ f/20 with help from Reds Rhetoric (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCrHsrhLqowsAIYbaNE7GcBg ). Recorded with a Blackmagic Pocket Cinema 4K. Frames were automatically aligned on Jupiter and stacked using custom software in 0.5s increments (all frames within 1 standard deviation of the mean quality were accepted in the stacking process). ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pz0HbgnByE8
