The Artemis II mission has completed a critical engine burn that will propel the Orion spacecraft on its journey to the far side of the Moon.
The translunar injection burn began at 19:49 EDT (23:49 GMT) and lasted for just under six minutes.

As someone who has listened to the day by day Apollo missions ad nauseum over the years (lunarmodule5 on YT if you’re interested), hearing the “Integrity, you’re go for TLI” call gave me chills.
The ESM performing flawlessly! It’ll get Orion there and back again!
What a milestone mission!
Wish I had more actual technical knowledge of this process, I’m sure NASA has posted the plans and docs. TLI is to add acceleration post-earth slingshot to add velocity in order to intercept the moon on its predicted trajectory?
*Huzzah!* Godspeed, you sonofabitches
That’s sexy
wow that burn looks like a perfect gradient, i’m curious?
“Godspeed”
