Impressive!
6: 24pm edt tomorrow is the Artemis launch!!! Less than 24 hours. Getting close
Weather looking good
T-4 hours
Everthing looks great!
I've been watching commercial free coverage on C-Span for the past 2 hours or so. Somehow I only just heard about this mission yesterday. Thought at first it was unmanned.
less than 30 minutes!!!
I get far too stressed just watching it.
Surprisingly emotional. Fun stuff.
Disappointing seeing the crowd shots and everyone just staring at their phones. Put your ****ing phone down and enjoy the moment. I went to the last shuttle launch and have zero pictures, lol.
Awesome! 20 minutes to fire engines to raise into a stable orbit. then 2 days of check outs and then off to the moon.
Is it spinning really fast, or is the BBC graphic glitching?
Glitch. Also that is a 3d model and not a live image.
I'm working on a web app with a guy who just came from the Artemis program. He won a lottery to get to watch the launch from Kennedy
Translunar injection is complete! No turning around now.
NASA astronaut and Artemis II Commander Reid Wiseman took this picture of Earth from the Orion spacecraft’s window after completing the translunar injection burn. There are two auroras (top right and bottom left) and zodiacal light (bottom right) is visible as the Earth eclipses the Sun.
Interesting info on the above post...
In my head, this seems simultaneously both like no big deal, but also a huge deal...
First person taken photo from the far side of the moon.

It's not a big deal because it's been done many times before. Plus, they're almost as isolated on the frontside. It's not like anyone can do anything if something catastrophic happens, no matter which side of the moon they're on.
Inspiring!
Starship launch tomorrow
15 minutes!!!
Can't tell if I'm rooting for or against an explosion. Probably for. But it's close.
