Anyone else excited about this? Hope it goes well and excited to see our return to the moon.

I'm very excited! My daughter came home from school yesterday talking about it. They watched a video about it where they interviewed the astronauts!

Can you track it with your fancy pants telescope? That would be sick. I'm hoping we can see some engine flair or something at night. Hope they packed enough astrophage.

Cool launch, didn't know it was happening and turned it on about 10 minutes prior to takeoff. Amaze!

I watched it live. I love space exploration and was excited to see it. It felt like a brief rare moment of our government doing something normal again and gave me hope that we are still going to support the sciences in the future. Go Artemis!

This made me laugh. The astronauts working with Artemis II are having trouble with their computers, specifically Microsoft Outlook. Relatable.

Why we’re using that is beyond me…. What’s next, the fax machine jamming?

Just gotta give it the ol' Control-Alt-Delete, open up Task Manager...

I had a coworker mention today that he thought the launch happening was an April Fools joke.
