Congratulations to NASA, great to see the return to the moon look forward to the manned flights! impressive reminder of how challenging this mission is we must hold the Apollo missions in deserved respect and awe!

Congrats to Artemis I mission! Looking forward to splashdown in a few days!

Maybe you kids need to look at this and get inspired like it did for me 55 years ago!

Lots of good math, science, and physics here!

Beautiful. Bon voyage. We have so much to be grateful for.

[starexplorers]

That is absolutely badass to look at!!

The last time we seen that view there was only 3 billion of us on Earth 🤔🤔

This is the view Jim Lovell saw on Apollo 13.

We should have been on the moon decades ago after Apollo finished. But I guess better late than never.

I haven't seen or read any information with regard to onboard environmental telemetry. Is the mannequin still alive?

@Google user there is no Cresent Sun. You would always see it as a full disc. The earth like the moon has phases depending on the viewer's location in relation to the Earth, Moon and Sun.

I'm sorry about some of the cube sats but the primary mission is going fantastic!

I understand the GoPro is attached to solar panel which is out on an arm. This would account for the slight wobbling. Doubtless the conspiracy theorists will be all over this... "Oh look - the background is painted on a canvas - fake!!!".

Amazing!!!! Another Beautiful human accomplishment.

[Irishfan]

So what is that orange disc below the Earth.

[Skywatchers]

I would of given y’all my Nikon P950 if you couldn’t afford a nice camera after all that money. A go pro? Really. This is the best shots NASA could give us? I had the worst videos on YouTube till this!!

Thanks for phoning home, Artemis, amidst your explorations. Mom Earth says thanks 🙏

[mickalloyd]

Safe travels Orion, bring it on home!!!

Is that Also Sprach Zarathustra I hear playing?

[mvilcr]

People tell me please
This means that this crescent is the Earth (which is only half-lit by the sun), so the view in the form of a crescent
So the red planet below is Mars?
Is it Mars?

It's not "see ya later" for Orion. It's goodbye. They'll be using a new Orion next time. They're tossing a perfectly good capsule.
