For me, at this point I don't care about the weeds of the mission. I just want to see a nice proper landing. My fingers are crossed and I hope they got the software right. Good luck.

Why this is important mission is because it goes to Artemis 3 first human landing on moon after Apollo Program landings on which I worked.

Only similar facility we had were lunar orbiters prior to Apollo and surveyor landers.
