    Looks more like a missile at this speed.
    But gotta love the hi res video.
    Looks like the moon is back on the menu boys (and girls). A little bit excited for Artemis 3 and beyond

  2. I used to work in the industry, and it feels so great inside to see the public behind space again.

  3. Look at how they bend the flight path over so it doesn’t crash into the firmament.

    That clip from the plane window seat view of the launch was pretty neat.

  6. Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of Earth
    And danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings;
    Sunward I’ve climbed, and joined the tumbling mirth
    of sun-split clouds,—and done a hundred things
    You have not dreamed of—wheeled and soared and swung
    High in the sunlit silence. Hov’ring there,
    I’ve chased the shouting wind along, and flung
    My eager craft through footless halls of air ….

    Up, up the long, delirious, burning blue
    I’ve topped the wind-swept heights with easy grace
    Where never lark, or even eagle flew—
    And, while with silent lifting mind I’ve trod
    The high untrespassed sanctity of space,
    Put out my hand, and touched the face of God.
