Where can I learn about the actual science behind Artemis II?
I haven't really seen any videos or articles that explain how it works, what each component does, or like... what kind of fuel it uses, or what an SRB is or you know like the actual numbers and the math and such. I don't know much about rockets but I would like to learn. the official nasa website and youtube channel seem to be... dumbed down and also doesn't actually explain much about Artemis II except for showing images and videos taken from it/of it
Might seem like a bit of a cop-out but I’ve been really interested in this as well and ChatGPT has done a great job finding the answers I’m looking for, with links to official NASA sources. I recommend adding “Show your sources.” to prompts to hedge against hallucination. The only real frustration I’ve had has been where certain design details are considered trade secrets, officially and deliberately obscured from the public record. I’m not a fan of obfuscationism from public science agencies.
