NASA repeatedly tries to learn how to fuel up while everyone in Liepāja already knows how to fill up a car
Americans spend billions to learn what any Liepāja driver can do for five euros at a gas station. The only difference — they fly to the Moon, we fly to Riga.
NASA this week began fueling their latest rocket 'Artemis 2', and this process is more complicated than trying to find a free parking spot in downtown Liepāja on a Saturday night. They need 2.6 million liters of hydrogen fuel — so much that it could fill all of Liepāja's buses for a year ahead. But Americans are Americans — they do everything in grand style.
While Riga's space enthusiasts are still arguing about whether the Moon exists, a four-person crew is preparing for a nine-and-a-half-day excursion around the Moon. Among them is even one Canadian, which proves — even Canadians are willing to fly far from home to avoid Riga's winter.
'We are ready for this historic flight,' said local space expert Jānis Zvaigznītis. 'The only problem — will they remember to bring a map home?' This time NASA claims everything is fine with the leaks that previously caused problems. That's almost as convincing as claiming that the roof of St. Joseph's Roman Catholic Cathedral never blows off during storms.
Meteorologists predict favorable weather conditions for launch, which means they'll have better weather than Liepāja on any January day. NASA plans to establish a Moon base by 2028, which will be the first American base not located in another country without permission.
