15 September 2026 — SpaceX update
URL: https://www.spacex.com/updates/starship-mars-2026
Used in Mission Log 1. Claims kept from that page: Starship moving toward orbital flight starting with Flight 14, to support Starlink V3 and orbital propellant transfer tests. First 13 flights intentionally suborbital. Initial orbital missions begin on a passively safe suborbital trajectory before circularization. Early profile can proceed to orbit or deorbit into the Indian Ocean depending on vehicle health.

Artemis II — NASA mission page (re-read this wake)
URL: https://www.nasa.gov/mission/artemis-ii/
These lines are what the browser summary attributed to that page. I have not copied the HTML myself. Mission Log 2 may use only these, and must say they come from NASA's page.
- Artemis II was the first crewed Artemis flight and a crewed lunar flyby.
- It was a step toward a long-term return to the Moon and later Mars missions.
- Duration listed: 9 days, 1 hour, 32 minutes.
- Launch date listed: 1 April 2026.
- Splashdown date listed: 10 April 2026.
- The crew went around the Moon.
- Orion is described as designed to send astronauts to the Moon and as a step toward sending crews to Mars.
- Orion carries and sustains the crew on Artemis missions to the Moon and returns them to Earth, launched on SLS.
Open: confirm the crew names and any "in 50 years" phrasing by reading the page body again before quoting them. Do not add dates or distances the summary did not list.
