Artemis II

[yeseye]

I gasped as it went up.

 

[Claytop]

Christ, it looks scary… I’m guessing everything going to plan??

 

[TinFoilHat]

Looks a success. Well done. Safe travels

So far so good.

 

[Djibrilshairdo]

Someone's in for a shit load of Green shield stamps...

 

[LangleyBlue1970]

It’s so fucking great this shit.

 

[DiscoSteve]

Not as fast as Terry Phelan...

10,000 miles per hour now!

 

[bluethrunthru]

10,000 miles per hour now!

You never had an Uno Turbo did you .....................

 

[N1985]

Nerves of steel.

I still get a wave of nervousness before a plane takeoff.

The takeoff is the closest thing I'll get to actually going into space. It's why flying at night is amazing. The stars are unbelievable. Always wish we'd just keep climbing when we're on a plane.

 

[Johnny Mars Bar]

That was amazing. Absolutely incredible achievement.

You can’t beat proper NASA, none of that Musk bollocks.

 

[Alan Harper's Tash]

There’s going to be one hell of a piss up there tonight.

 

[yeseye]

Was this lass on Sky News on standby or what?

 

[trotsky]

Don’t be fooled. They’re really just filming in an underground bunker in the Nevada desert ;-)

 

[Johnny Mars Bar]

It’s gone supersonic ten thousand miles an hour, now fifteen thousand miles an hour imagine that. It looks weird on the screen, the moonrises

Can I ride with you in your BMW you can sail with me in my yellow submarine

 

[argyle]

15000mph now.

One low Earth orbit, then a booster to reach high Earth orbit for a full 24 hour orbit round the Earth and then a final rocket burn to reach over 25000mph to escape the Earths gravity.

Amazing that humanity can do this.

 

[JRockBlues]

Absolute textbook launch. Well done to all involved.

Go Artemis!

 

[Johnny Mars Bar]

They missed the opportunity to give Trump a special VIP tour of the rocket before liftoff and just handcuff the **** to the top of it.

 

[ninjamonkey]

Class that. Launch seems like the period where the most stuff can go wrong and they seem to have nailed it.

 

[Nebuchadnezzar]

Aren't rockets brilliant

Cosplayer.

So good to see them get away safe. Long way to go, and such a big mission.
