Heck yeah man!! A friend lives pretty close and it ready for the rumble!

 

[Hunterscamera]

Watching it now! Pretty cool stuff

 

[BBob]

Off we go!

 

[ODB]

Woo hoo!!!!! Amazing.

 

[Reburn]

Watching as well.

From my friend’s driveway!

Didn’t get any pictures of Artemis, but I was just telling a neighbor how cool it is to live near Cape Canaveral and be able to walk out your front door and see these rockets go off. Everyone on the neighborhood was outside watching it.

I’m not a space nerd, but I will say it doesn’t get old. Its something I would recommend everyone do once in their lifetime.

I'd love to go on facebook flat earth groups and see those guys talk about this. Just let me grab my beverage.

Very awesome ! Excited to follow the entire mission.

One heck of a rocket. My father was involved in the early stages of planning, development, process, and design of the Orion module. Let’s hope the trip goes well.

The amount of energy flowing out the back of the engines is incredible.

I watched it with my 4.5year old girl. She thought it was great and if course had tons of questions. I dreamt of being an astronaut as a kid so that was special getting to watch with her.

I'm hoping I'll be able to take her to a launch in person sometime

When those boosters lit and 6 million pounds (!) of rocket all the sudden started moving like they did you'd have to be dead not to be amazed by that. I grew up near DC and the Air and Space museum was a major part of growing up. My kid grew up in Seattle and the Museum of Flight was a similar impact. Good you had your kid with you to watch.

I will say, remembering the Columbia disaster as I do, I was on the edge of my seat knowing so many eyes were watching. I hope it's a 100% successful mission. and I love you can stream it 24/7 - what an amazing time to be alive.

God Bless America We are going back to the moon and eventually to Mars!

I remember watching the Saturn rocket launches as a child on a black and white television set, a Space shuttle launch in person in Florida, and now the Artemis rocket launches.

Good luck and happy hunting to all, TheGrayRider a/k/a Tom.

and I love you can stream it 24/7

I watched them do maneuvers last night in bed and fell asleep to it. Pretty amazing.

Was kinda cloudy over here to see it. Could see the smoke trail. It was a very fast rocket.

We had a rocket launch on Monday afternoon that was a big tail of fire and could even see the rocket on top of it. Artemis made that one look like a slow boat tho.

Seems weird to waste all that money on rocket fuel, just to travel to Area 51 to shoot a "moon landing."

No kidding. A couple minutes after it launched I realized I nearly had a death grip on my kid. I remember Columbia coming apart. I was 17, eating a sandwich in the kitchen and had the small counter top tv on. I think I had NASA's satellite TV channel on, watching Columbia reenter live, and then wondering what happened. It just didn't make sense.

It is a wonder that didn't have more accidents in the Apollo years, as fast as they were churning out those missions.

Incredible accomplishment - hoping the journey is without issues.
