Man I’m psyched about this! I was starting to think we wouldn’t get back to the moon in my lifetime.

GO ARTEMIS!

Enjoy. It’s over 1 billion dollars per launch for the first 4.

You known the Saturn 5 was built with a slide rule.
 
Enjoy the trip and hopefully the launch.
Of the 76 STS missions I've supported, I've never seen a launch. I was once nominated for a Silver Snoopy (prevented a launch abort situation at T-6 minutes) and the launch trip it comes with, but NASA didn't like that I broke a rule to do it.

They'll have plenty of cameras beaming back amazing footage of the moon from orbit, right????

I hope the crew that is next to land on the moon (2025?) are able to do something to prove they're actually there to shut up all the denier morons. I know a giant "Fuck you guys" neon sign would be slightly impractical.

Being only an hour north we get good views but being there would be amazing.
My brother lives in St. Augustine and he has a great view from his house.

I was at a friend's place in cocoa beach for a delta launch ages ago and it was an awesome experience. Hanging out in the pool at night & you could feel it shaking everything, including you, when it launched.
 
Next window is Sept 2 if they’re ready and the weather cooperates. My kids are happy that the launch might interrupt the school day if it happens Friday.
