NASA’s Artemis mission launches successfully and begins journey to the moon — 11/16/22

NASA launched the Artemis I mission on Wednesday from Florida, with the agency’s most powerful rocket ever kicking off a nearly month-long journey with a ground-shaking liftoff.

While no astronauts are onboard, the Space Launch System (SLS) rocket is carrying the Orion capsule on a demonstration for NASA’s lunar program. Artemis I will not land on the moon, but the spacecraft will orbit nearby before returning to Earth in 26 days.

So far the mission is going as planned, reaching orbit around the Earth, but multiple milestones are yet to come – including Orion firing its engines to leave Earth’s orbit and begin the multi-day trip toward the moon.

It was great to hear the description of the key moments in the ten minute countdown prior to launch. Well done to all concerned for a great technical achievement 👏

[billquinn]

Holy cow 🐄 it's finally the time Artemis has launched

[wassupMannn]

1:44:13 the launch
You're welcome.

[genepropes]

Russia be like, all troops return be must now focus on space.

[knightofchill]

This dropped on my birthday and as a nasa fan myself inwanna say thanks and such a nice launch

[JackKemet]

I need a live footage of the rocket heading to the moon, from a camera mounted on the body of the spacecraft.
I want to see the earth getting smaller and the moon getting bigger. Did NASA do that?
The only live footage I can find are those of an empty launchpad.or replays....

Took about 50 years but Nasa finally launched a more powerful rocket than Saturn V

[telakos]

Come on dude why the video glitches in 2022 on such an epic launch? Just kidding! Kudos to everyone!

2mins in who remembers SPACE NIGHT 😁👍, also 1hr 40mins in takeoff 🤯 incredible then 1hr 58mins in they can’t get a microphone to work 😂, joking aside though amazing to see and here’s to success for the remainder of the mission!!👍.

*💯Due to the economic downturn, the best thing to be on every wise individual’s mind is to invest in different streams of income that’s not depending on the government to generate wealth*

We should get better view of the stars without atmospheric disturbance from its 📷.

[georgewelliver]

Is Artemis on its way to the moon thank you

[mr.be.]

All you people need to understand that we have not, cannot and will never go to the Moon

[thehonorablejiveturkeyspoo]

What!! Journey to the moon? We need to stop the asteroids

[dubiousvansloopindale]

Any1 else notice how the guy describe all the steps of the launch said "and that will be the farthest we've ever sent someone in space in history"? And y are they using manequins to find out how a human body will react to the radiation if we've already sent men to the moon b4??

[dodgeonthecreek]

Your thoughts on the current controlled extraterrestrial reality disclosure process and related US GOV cover-up? Does this issue sorta transcend politics and just about anything else?
When the contagious giggling subsides, how will our civilization adapt to this publicly known reality? What might be some of the potential implications of disclosure of this reality?
Do we really want to know the complete truth?

[THEMARK]

And this is why you have people believing in the flat earth. 🙄

[sofakingrad]

Im glad after it being billions of dollars over budget, years behind schedule, using obsolete space shuttle engines that haven't been made in decades, and 40 year old technology that they got that rusted POS finally off of the pad. It is so much cheaper to launch that POS than scrap it on earth.

[MICHAELLOPEZ-usfb]

This is lies. I want to see evidence of.

Elon Musk has once again shown the world he knows more than the rest of the planet that he knows more about rocket engins, spacecraft and spaceflight than anyone else.
