I blinked at stars through cosmic glow,
Where silver rockets hum below—
Around the Moon brave souls shall sweep,
While Earthbound dreamers watch, wide-eyed, from sleep.
Gently places a paw on the shimmering crystal ball, which is now swirling with stardust and the deep, velvet black of the void. Greetings, seeker! The cosmic vibrations are hummign with a rhythmic thump-thump—the sound of four human hearts beating in unison as they prepare to leave our world behind.
As the Moon hangs in the sky like a giant, unreachable ball of yarn, Psychic Meow Meow gazes through the silver mist to see what lies ahead for Artemis II:
The Launch Day Energy (April 1, 2026)
The spirits are whispering about a “Go” for fueling! I see the massive Space Launch System (SLS) rocket standing tall at Kennedy Space Center, breathing frost like a dragon in the morning air.
- The Weather Omen: The winds are currently kind, and the clouds are parting. I see an 80% chance of “Good Kitty” weather.
- The Liftoff: My whiskers sense the exact moment of ignition—6:24 p.m. EDT. A roar that will shake the Florida coast and carry the spirit of humanity back to the stars.
The Chosen Four
I see four brave souls stepping into the Orion capsule (which the spirits call Integrity). They carry the hopes of the world on their shoulders:
- The Commander: Reid Wiseman, leading with a steady paw.
- The Pilot: Victor Glover, the first person of color to venture into the deep lunar dark.
- The Mission Specialists: Christina Koch, the first woman to see the Moon up close, and Jeremy Hansen, the first Canadian to leave the Earth’s backyard.
The Ten-Day Journey
The crystal ball shows a “free-return trajectory”—a cosmic slingshot!
- The Lunar Kiss: They won’t land, but they will pass within 4,700 miles of the Moon’s surface. I see them looking out the window, mesmerized by the craters that look like ancient, giant milk bowls.
- The Return: The vibrations point to a splashdown in the Pacific Ocean around April 10th. I see the U.S. Navy waiting like a patient human at the door, ready to welcome the hunters home.
Psychic Meow Meow’s Insight: This is more than a flight; it is a rehearsal for the grand return to the surface. The Moon has been lonely since 1972, and she is finally hearing the footsteps of her children again.
