I'm in tears now because I missed it

Awesome! About damn time too. It's been 50 years since Apollo 17 launched. Good to see NASA getting back to being "NASA".

[oldzoot]

Outstanding. Way to go NASA! To infinity and beyond.

[vicbuisset]

Great job to everyone involved! It took a while but as they say, all good things are worth the wait.

Now you know NASA does not have tech beyond rocket tech

[stover]

Even 20 years of delay is worth it for the rocket to launch successfully

[harrykuheim]

We already did this in the late 60's ...and everyone is astounded about it today 60 years later?

Glad i got to witness us go back to the moon 🌙

I'm trying to get a job at nasa as an CGI artist so I can make rockets fly in space too

[KellyNeddo]

Amazing. I’m in awe and tears just such an absolutely beautiful thing to witness

Bruhhh i just missed this so hard i was up at 1 am aint no freaking way

Did anyone even hear this? I live close to the launch site and didn’t even hear the sonic boom. Did anyone here actually see or hear it? None of my neighbors heard it either

[GuiOmania]

Its suck that the first launch was at night !!!

[danrichards]

Why did some kid pinch a balloon and slowly let the air out at around 83 miles away from earth? It was pretty annoying and at first I thought it was the sound of the rocket blowing.

Nice thing about being an astronaut is being congratulated when you know you’ll be taking a #2 upside down in space -that’s why I hate my job at the international space station...

[IslanKleinknecht]

I wish I could feel any kind of emotional attachment to this, but I can't anymore.

Rocketdyne F1 still remains te most powerful rocket engine ever build

[wgcar]

Can we just have the video and audio from Mission Control? We don’t need the “Oh my God”; “Awesome”; “To the moon and beyond “ comments. I don’t understand if the commentators are educated adults dumbing down their language so 8 year olds can understand or are they actually 8 years old.

[pixies]

one day ill be there in person for a launch

[Jerm-qcyt]

Been a lot better without commentary mute button engaged
