The fella was so excited he couldn't even say ignition

[@bravo_01]

0:02 he’s so excited can’t even pronounce ignition lol

Biden syndrome!!

[@Xolivas1]

We all were. This launch was a long time coming. It was years behind schedule, over budget, and was plagued with issues that pushed back the launch date. But it was worth every minute up to T-0. I'm not gonna lie, I cheered in happiness and elation when those RS-25 engines lit and then those boosters roared to life. This was worth it.

Great images ...

All the best !

Rocket goes up. Rocket goes down. Cut to CGI.

haha so funny... it must be so difficult being so dumb. Everythings a conspiracy these days right?

How much does cost per lunch?

[@Tristin127]

Billions easily

[@Nadindel]

@@Tristin127 probably not

[@matthewviramontes3131]

Lots of pesos

[@matthewviramontes3131]

@@Nadindel $4.1 billion per launch. Total Artemis cost, $93 billion.

[@Nadindel]

@@matthewviramontes3131 wow that's insane. With space-x falcon launches being around 70m I didn't think this would push 1 billion. Albeit a much larger non reusable rocket

[@foxmccloud7055]

My heart was thumping big time.

[@TM-tw1py]

I miss the days when Stanley Kubrick was involved in the moon launches - those were the good old days.

[@mudithmanu]

3:00 real mission 🤔

[@VictorMartinez-zf6dt]

They mean a mission that's not just a rocket launch, this is more of a test of the rocket.

[@rains761]

Imagine the outrage if they said "Female and a White person"....

[@mercenarypilot]

Why not the most qualified and not just a personal of color or different gender but hey I’m no scientist

[@christopherwhite1648]

You aren't interested in political correctness. Good for you.

[@dodgeonthecreek4020]

Your thoughts on the current controlled extraterrestrial reality disclosure process and related US GOV cover-up? Does this issue sorta transcend politics and just about anything else?
When the contagious giggling subsides, how will our civilization adapt to this publicly known reality? What might be some of the potential implications of disclosure of this reality?
Do we really want to know the complete truth?

[@mcfork6201]

Lol that’s main priority, not the most capable people, but a women and a person of color, that’s the stupidest thing that was said.

[@christopherwhite1648]

A woman and person of color - that sounds like they are very interested in science.

[@flightgearHD]

A woman or person of color? Why not just someone is most qualified for the job?

[@ripleyfuriosa5701]

Perhaps they are in fact the most qualified? Ever considered that?

[@Official_Kezzie]

There will still be people who aren’t women or people of color going to the moon, but this generation of lunar astronauts will be the first with women and people of color.

[@mitchellturnbull3988]

They are. If we want humanity to reach our peak, it’s a lot cooler to have representatives of all walks of humanity to do it, right?

[@ryancruz1876]

Why are you assuming a woman or a person of color wouldn’t be the most qualified person for the job? 🤔

[@JoshRomero17]

@Ryan Cruz even if they are the most qualified, they should be identified and represented as that. I'd be pretty peeved if I worked all the way up to going to the moon and I was identified only as "person of color" or "woman"

[@dsdw30]

The moon is not a solid object. The earth is not a globe.

So where do you think the rocket went? Over the ice wall?
