Priming NASA's Artemis I for Launch to the Moon

Every element of NASA’s Orion spacecraft, Space Launch System rocket, and ground systems is now at Kennedy Space Center -- the final stop on planet Earth before the uncrewed Artemis I mission around the Moon. These critical components are being primed for flight through final assembly, stacking, and fueling operations. The first in a series of increasingly complex missions, the Artemis I flight test will provide a foundation for human deep space exploration, and demonstrate our commitment and capability to extend human existence to the Moon and beyond.

Exciting! There is a machine I helped design that manufacturers a part of the Orion space capsule. I'd like to think have a part of the project lol ^_^

NASA flexing video production. Absolutely amazing!

Oh my gosh this gets my heart going!

As a kid of this generation I am excited

Hair raising, can't wait to watch this live.

KSP has never been this intense in my entire life

Finally after decades humans will show how savage I mean civilized they are!

I'm glad to be born on the next space era

Grumpy post here...it's great this is finally getting off the ground, just hard to get excited about a launch system almost a -decade- (ok, not almost a decade, but it's more than a few years) behind schedule and billions over budget. Is the launch at least going to be this year?

Yo nasa. What would you do if a person named Orion rode the Orion to the moon?

[arguelloit]

Anyone is aware of the roadmap? E.g. when the First uncrewed Flight is in Plan to lift off? At least a clue...

Imagine what the female astronaut would be feeling who will become the first woman on the moon! Imagine your name being remembered forever in history! Amazing! 🤩

The U.S. did this without really even trying






At least compared to the 60s

SpaceX's Starship seems more suited to actually landing and then getting back to Earth. Isn't that why NASA chose them?

Moon, here we come to destroy you like earth

1:13 "The framework to support the enormity of this moment can't be measured in renovations and rehearsals alone."
Enormity: (1) The quality of being outrageous; heinousness. (2) An outrageous offense; an atrocity. (Funk & Wagnalls Standard College Dictionary).
I sincerely hope the engineering is better than the English!

SLS = Space Launch System ❌
SLS = Senate Launch System ✓

It's amazing that NASA still thinks that they are going to the Moon on that thing. NASAs glory days are in the past.
SpaceX is going to the Moon, not NASA.

why the cinematic scripted dialogue? That's such a corny trope. its obnoxious. Just have the people talk like normal human beings. Nothing else in the video needs to change. Don't you want your viewers to not cringe, roll their eyes and close the video?
