The Orion spacecraft has plenty of cameras on it. Look at this beautiful image of the Earth, as it travels to the Moon. I am overjoyed to be alive for these historic missions. To the Moon now, To Mars in the future!
Also some more beautiful pictures of the launch because it was amazing
I’m watching the Artemis I livestream and I realize it’s a big historic moment and all but all I can think about is that the SLS truly is a strap fit for a goddess.
Currently watching NASA's live stream on youtube; last I was aware, they are working to fix an intermittent valve leak, the countdown is a few minutes over an hour until the launch.
In just five days, the first launch opportunity of the integrated NASA SLS rocket and NASA Orion spacecraft will take place. The uncrewed #Artemis I mission around the Moon will pave the way for future crewed missions and begin a new chapter of exploration.
Artemis-1 has successfully launched and reached the moon, which is awesome! The current plan from NASA is to send astronauts to the moon around 2024, then land them on the moon at 2023 (tentatively). (X)
The Space Launch System (SLS) is an absolutely massive rocket which reuses a lot of technology from the space shuttle. It's the most powerful rocket in the world!
Stream No. 22241153 is LIVE! ◉ 7:40 AM EST 8/28/22
The goddess Artemis turned the man Actaeon into a deer, but will Boeing get Artemis 1 delayed another whole year?
Let’s find out, and cross our fingers as NASA launches the most powerful rocket ever built to send the most advanced human-rated spacecraft ever built on a lunar round trip!
Hopefully.
Oh and I guess I’ll be playing Vs. Pinball to pass the time.

On Nov. 16, 2022, the Artemis I mission officially began with the launch of the Orion spacecraft atop the Space Launch System rocket. The rocket and spacecraft lifted off from historic Launch Complex 39B at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida.
Now, the Orion spacecraft is about halfway through its journey around the Moon. Although the spacecraft is uncrewed, the Artemis I mission prepares us for future missions with astronauts, starting with Artemis II.
Stay up-to-date with the mission with the latest full-resolution images, mission updates, on-demand and live video.

You can watch a livestream of the Artemis I mission here. (Just a note: the livestream may cut off during moments when the Orion team needs higher bandwidth for activities.)
Keep yourself updated on the upcoming broadcasts of Artemis milestones with the NASA TV schedule.
Trackers:
Our Artemis I Tracker uses live telemetry data streamed directly from Mission Control Center in Houston to show Orion position, attitude, solar array positions, and thruster firings throughout the mission.
“Eyes on the Solar System” shows Orion's position along the Artemis I trajectory and in relation to other NASA spacecraft and objects in the solar system.
“DSN Now” shows which antenna on Earth’s Deep Space Network is communicating with Orion.
