We can send people into space but people still think the Earth is flat.

What an era to be a live.. Feels like getting a second chance to relive the thrill of the Apollo space program for us youngsters 🥳🥳

What’s her top speed? Look at that baby go! I once had a Geo Metro that had that kind of insane HP.

8.8 million pounds of thrust! I can't wait for this beast to launch.

I remember back in 1971 when I was with my family on a Florida trip. We spent the day at the Kennedy Space Center (much to my mother's chagrin). The tour guide told us that the giant transporter, used for the Apollo program's Saturn V at the time, got around 40 ft. per gallon! Can't wait to see the launch of this beast!

When is the launch supposed to be? I thought it was the 30th?

What a time we are living in, , simply amazing. 50 years ago we landed on moon which is way before I born. Now in my life we will see human being settling permanently out of this world. Possibilities are endless in space. I wish I could live to see human being going out of solar system.

can i just say the nasa / Artemis logo swapping like that is very distracting .. could it be made to change every couple of seconds rather than once a second .. btw good video though

[bravo_]

Do they launch it on top of that rover?

I am really looking forward to Artemis manned mission (2024/2025?) which will definitely clear up all the moon-landing conspiracies. Let's go Nasa !

The flashing between NASA and Artimus was enough to induce siezures.

[jamesjames]

NASA please send the best trained people into space

[Spinal_Pap]

This is happening. This is actually, fricking happening.

[robjohnson]

I'd say NASA really got its money's worth on those crawlers.

[jatpack]

Give the money wasted on Artemis to SpaceX and there would be Americans standing on the moon right now.

[exsappermadman]

We have to send people back to the Moon if only to find out how much fuel is left in the Eagle....

on 29 august 2022 the begginging of interstellar civlazation has begun

Hopefully the repurposed Russian engines will not blow up.
