Astronaut Traveling to Moon Next Year Says He's Hoping to Take a "Short Nap" on the Launch Pad
""take a very short nap on the pad.""
""There's enough time built in there to have a nap," he said. "I've been practicing falling asleep. So if the loops are quiet enough, and I get a minute, I'll try for a nap.""
""About seven seconds prior to liftoff, the four main engines light, and they come up to full power," mission commander Reid Wiseman told Berger. "And then the solids light, and that's when you're going.""
Canadian astronaut Jeremy Hansen plans to take a short nap on the launch pad before the Artemis 2 liftoff. The four-person crew will board the Orion spacecraft about three hours before launch, providing time for pre-launch rest. Artemis 2 will be the first crewed mission to the Moon since the 1970s and aims to launch as soon as February 5, with a ten-day mission profile. The crew will travel roughly 250,000 miles from Earth and about 6,400 miles beyond the Moon's far side to collect data in preparation for Artemis 3. Hansen expressed concern about space adaptation syndrome.
