NASA's Artemis II Crew Launches To The Moon

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

I watched on Fox News and saw everything just fine.

 

[DigitalDrifter]

Tied up in a board meeting damnit and I missed the live launch!!! Damn that makes me mad.
Did I miss any problems, or was it a smooth launch?

 

[Lockback]

I truly appreciate space missions. But this reminds me of going to a nascar race to watch the cars warm up. The mission when they return to the moon and walk on it will really excite me as it did when the others walked on the moon.

Baby steps, Robert. We're dipping our toes into it again. We have new technology, a whole different mission now. It will be fascinating.
And, like you, I can't wait to see us actually on the moon again ... and this time with improved HD 4K cameras.

Very good launch.

It was a good launch. I'm still watching it. They are about to do a burn to insert into orbit, and after that, they'll do an increased perigee burn.

It was a great launch, flawless, I wondered how many here and elsewhere probably hoped some tank would explode or something on the way up so they could then rag about what an incompetent failure Trump was, as if he had caused it.

Hopefully, everything will go smoothly with no big problems for this new Artemis team, they made lunar travel look easy, and those new space suits are a quantum leap over the suits they wore in the 1960s.

The new space suits were designed by Prada, the Italian fashion house.

Just as long as they got two guys with crew cuts to sort things out, they might make it OK

Thanks, Captain Obvious.

title your story better then.....

Launches To The Moon​

NO, not TO the moon, to around the moon in orbit

big difference there sport...

no boots on the ground.......yet

I want close-ups of the lizard people bases on the dark side

Yeah, so four astronauts just launched from Florida in an amazing fete of Human achievement.
Launching from Earth to go "fly" around the Moon and come back safely in a ten-day mission.
No-one seems to care, but godspeed Artemis II

I'm friggin' incensed that there's nobody with a nose ring and purple hair. And what the "f" -- no transgender on board?

aww, I caught your wrong title and you cry like a little girl......

never heard of correction I guess,you can EDIT

Im annoyed because they kept saying "mission to the moon", but if its just a flyby, who even cares? Why send men to do that when you could just send a probe? I want to see men walking on the moon. If it isnt that, then its gay and lame.

Fuel is expensive I guess. Using earth and moon’s gravity as slingshot saves fuel. SpaceX may invent a rocket engine using a nuclear reactor. I believe the Cassini probe launched during the 90s was using plutonium for fuel given the distance to Saturn. It too relied on slingshot method to get there faster.

Damn it now they’re going to blame trump for the price of fuel and risking the safety of these astronauts

Why did you choose to attempt to ruin a wholesome thread about great American achievement over petty SEMANTICS?
You gotta GO TO THE MOON to FLY AROUND IT.
Here's a suggestion: Remove the stick crammed up your ass, and lighten up, Francis.

just pointing it out, if we were landing on the moon for the first time in 53 years well yeah, that's huge

we are just going close to check it out closer but no boots on the ground

is this really a huge deal? we built a quality rocket that can get up close but not there, not yet

not trying to ruin anything, just being realistic

when we land on the moon and hang out for a week or so with rovers collecting samples and doing tests
then I will be excited

this is equal to getting the stanley cup final and losing.......so close but not close enough......

I managed to get up all the steps to the last 30 at the statue of liberty but I could not go forth

close but not the destination you started out at

Apollo 8 and 10 circled the Moon before any mission landed on it. It is prudent to make sure the system is viable before going all the way.
Perhaps you are not familiar with common sense?
Or, you just want to crap all over American achievement.
Either way, I'm done with you.
Bye.
