    This one won’t land on the moon just yet. But it will set the record for the farthest manned distance from earth.

    I’m shocked at how amazing I found that. I’ve seen rockets launch before. This was something else. Something I’ve dreamed about since I was a child.

    Just incredible.

  3. This should be higher up the news, it’s literally a lifetime moment to watch/share/marvel about how cool humans can be.

  4. Thankfully, we still have things to dream about in this recent flow of bad news

    Wishing a safe journey to the crew 🫶

  5. Really cool. If all continues to go well I hope we see some new moon pics next week. Got to travel 1/4 million miles first!

  6. My dad watched Apollo missions growing up with his father. I watched Shuttle launches growing up with my father. Feels surreal that I just watched the next generation with my son.

    Godspeed Artemis. Never stop pushing the envelope of science and exploration forward.

    Was strangely emotional watching that. Space exploration will always be amazing to me.

    In six days we will see the first images taken of the far side of the moon in decades. 4k moon pictures for the first time

    I’m super happy that everything went as planned so far and I wish the crew success in their entire mission.

    The broadcast was shockingly bad, though. Bad tracking, bad cuts, just a few seconds of onboard footage, no visible data for most of the initial flight, extremely laggy animations…

    For such a big event, I expected a lot more.

  10. Yep, it appears all systems nominal and with only a small battery issue was remedied quickly. Watched it in our house, when it was T minus 2 minutes everyone went silent. Amazing!

    I can’t really explain how excited I am. Humans are literally going further than ever before! Since our beginning we have dreamed about going to the moon, today we once again fulfill that dream

  12. Can’t wait for the photos that will come from this. Absolutely getting them printed and put on our walls!

    This went so underreported before launch it feels like a Dr House skit.

    „Hey Wilson, wanna watch me slingshot 4 people around the Moon?“

    „Sure… Wait, you’re serious?“

  14. Heralding humanity’s return to the moon and the development of civilization beyond Earth. Godspeed. 

  15. Watching the launch live was just awe-inspiring. I know they have a lot of work to do and I wish that everything goes within the predictions. But, that was emotional to watch the launch. Just… awesome.

    I remember watching Atlantis launch years ago in Titusville with my husband while we were dating, so many fond memories of that experience. Today we got to share this launch with our two kids down on the Indian River as it happened to coincide with our trip to Florida. They have no idea how big of a deal this is to see this in person but hoping they will remember it forever.

    Watched it with my two year old. He was so enamored with the launch he made me watch various rocket launches on YouTube after. His favorite was the movie Apollo 13 launch. Hope to encourage this interest in space for a long time

  18. I watched it was my daughter and you know what? 2 minutes before launch our electricity went off for a second, including my router which needs more than 2 minutes to be online again….
    We watched it on my mobile instead lol man what the fuck over 50 years and 2 minutes before launch the fucking electricity goes off… I still can’t fathom it.

    Either way a historic day for sure. Hope to see them return safely and successfully.

    Got to watch it with 3 of the 4 kids and will re-watch it with the last one tonight. Super cool to stream live with them especially with the camera cutting to the shots from space. Also just listening to the mission chatter leading up to the countdown was super cool.

    I love space and everything to do with it, but is there a further reason for this mission? Just to get near the moon and back, are they testing new rocket technology or something?

    I really live for shit like this man.

    In a world full of so much negativity, moments like this only stand out brighter.

    I wouldn’t say I pay much attention to the world of science, but genuinely, I felt like I was about to tear up watching that live.

    Humans can do incredible things when we’re not fighting each other.

    Very cool! I love seeing Canadian/US collaboration – after such a rough year, it’s nice to have something normal like this.

    So looks like it’ll take 2 days to get to the moon and then they’ll fly around it for another few days and take pictures and observe etc. I didn’t see anything clear on what they’re looking for? I know it is a step towards them landing on the moon again in another few years, but I’m curious about what this mission is actually about? I did read the article but it was a little vague on that part.

    Finally! Some good news, the kind of news to remind us that we are all passengers on this tiny blue spacecraft we call Earth.

    Imagine if America spent its time doing things like this rather than the other bits they get up to?
