Fourty blind veterans are at the Kennedy Space Center, Florida, to experience the Artimis I launch in person. The group will be "able to hear it and feel the ground as this new rocket, which is one of the largest rockets ever built, will lift off and take the payload,", said Benjamin Keeley, the co-founder of Wisdom 4 The Blind. The first ship in the Artemis mission series is scheduled to launch Monday morning as part of the new program to return humans to the moon.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                 NASA says the unmanned mission around the moon, the first test of the Space Launch System ship, will be carried into space on the most powerful rocket ever built, boasting 8.8 million pounds of thrust. Keeley and a friend came up with the idea to organize a visit for a group of blind veterans to witness the launch. Keeley and co-founder of Wisdom 4 The Blind, Doug Cram, have been coordinating this effort for a little under a year.  Cram recalled watching the moon landing on TV with his family in 1969, so he's looking forward to experiencing a launch that will eventually help get humans back to the lunar surface.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          Most of the veterans are from Florida Keeley said, although veterans nationwide were invited. Cram and Keeley both lost their sight during their military service. In response to the inaccessibility of some Veterans Affairs services, they founded Wisdom 4 The Blind. They intended their organization's website to function as an information portal.  "My partner, Doug Cram and I, we got frustrated that there wasn't one place that veterans who are vision impared or blind can go and find the information they need to navigate through the VA and also learn about different resources available," Keeley said.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    For anyone who can't make it to Cape Canaveral, NASA will be airing the event online. I think it is this friday but might be next friday.
