What a load of CGI slop.

They expect us to believe this is real?

Holy mother of visual artifacts, batman. I'm so fucking glad comms are working thoroughly.

Artemis 3 is just going to LEO, a mission that could really be carried out by commercial crew.

I think making sure everything with the landers checks out is a good idea actually

I just realized its just like in Kerbal space program. They really DO point themselves at the moon during the initial push into orbit.

A poem, for the moment; High Flight, by John Gillespie Magee Jr.

Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of Earth
And danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings;
Sunward I've climbed, and joined the tumbling mirth
of sun-split clouds,—and done a hundred things
You have not dreamed of—wheeled and soared and swung
High in the sunlit silence. Hov'ring there,
I've chased the shouting wind along, and flung
My eager craft through footless halls of air ....

Up, up the long, delirious, burning blue
I've topped the wind-swept heights with easy grace
Where never lark, or even eagle flew—
And, while with silent lifting mind I've trod
The high untrespassed sanctity of space,
Put out my hand, and touched the face of God.

What a thing we humans are capable of, when we put our collective minds to it.

Would've already stolen all the gold on the moon if Vin Diesel was piloting.

I'm not saying that they shouldn't, want I'm saying is that it is a waste of a SLS Block 1 to go to LEO when you could have docked with say a Dragon or hell even a Starliner to test out the landers.

I love that their totally-not-made-by-indians CGI is running at like 0.5 FPS.

Oh fuck, the craft got the Liz-Fong Jones chop!

 

[LoogerLike]

Gotta say I was pretty disinterested when I learned they were just going to do a fly-by of the Moon, but watching the launch live was extremely exciting. Also lmao the live chat posting flags of countries that have contributed nothing to space exploration.

 

[Disdainer of the Plebs]

Man the nasa broadcast sucks, they cut away for the booster jettison and cut away from the separation camera after a second. It's pissing me off.
