https://www.nasa.gov/blogs/missions/2026/04/02/artemis-ii-flight-day-2-orion-completes-tli-burn-crew-begins-journey-to-the-moon/ On Thursday, 4/2/26, NASA’s Orion spacecraft “fired its main engine for five minutes and 50 seconds beginning at 7:49 p.m. EDT, to successfully complete the translunar injection (TLI) burn, sending the crew in Orion out of Earth orbit and on a trajectory toward the Moon. Orion’s main engine provides up to 6,000 pounds of thrust... At the time of the burn, Orion’s mass was 58,000 pounds and burned approximately 1,000 pounds of fuel during the firing.” Calculate “u”, the engine exhaust speed. Use that to find Δv for Orion. Note: 1 pound-force = 4.45 newtons,

It's a coiled spring and it appears to be happy; there is a smiley face drawn on it. This is funny because it changes the post from me wishing you to have a happy time during spring season, into me simply describing a spring who is happy.
