NASA Space Launch System rocket launched the Artemis 1 mission on Nov. 16, 2022. The rocket lifted off from Launch Complex 39B at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida. Full Story: www.space.com/... Credit: NASA
There's nothing there. Apollo was financed to beat the Russians during the Cold War for prestige. Watched a documentary on Detriot and it's decline. What a shithole America is !!.
Don’t be a baby. We need 💪🏼 men in America. We will not benefit from these launches at all. This is just for the super rich don’t be fooled sir. With all due respect.
Watching Artemis last night I was shocked by the difference of 50 years. Saturn ignited, lifted slow then gained speed. Artemis LEAPED of the pad like a bat out of hell! I was seriously shocked how fast those SRBs kicked that mule into the air.
Bob Crippen has been quoted saying that the SRB's igniting up felt like a carrier cat shot. The shuttle stack was already going over 100 mph after clearing the tower. The later revisions of the shuttle SRB's were rated at around 3,300,000 lbs of thrust EACH (the Saturn V's F1's generated 1.5 million lbs each). This means the shuttle stack generated slightly more thrust than the Saturn V at launch. With the shuttle stack weighing 4.4 million lbs at liftoff and the Saturn V weighing 6.5 million, it's easy to see why the shuttle got going in a big hurry (in comparison). Another fun fact: about 58% (well over half) of the shuttle stack's weight at liftoff consisted of the two SRB's... which made them VERY dense suckers! Any way you slice it, those SRB's are MONSTERS.
I went back and watched the old footage of Apollo 17 launching and you are absolutely right. Saturn practically lumbered its way up past the launch tower then slowly gained speed while Artemis just felt so sleek and nimble. Absolutely wild how much progress we’ve made in launch technology over the past 50 years
I am aware I am replying to an old comment, but I'd imagine this is because the SLS has/had Solid Rocket Boosters, something the Saturn V lacked. ...the 2nd reply details the exact same thing.
I was at NASA last night to watch her fly (my second attempt) and Artemis gave us a spectacular launch. I just couldn't believe how fast it accelerated and how bright the plumes were from the engine nozzles. Artemis was bright as the Sun which made it difficult to see as it got further and further because my eyes couldn't adjust fast enough from having over cooked retinas. The crackling engines just sounded mean and angry -- which just added more sensory overload to my already overloaded senses. It was just that awesome!
My dad use to take me to see space shuttle launches. I have fond memories of sitting on his shoulders and the rockets warming my face. The launches were spectacular to witness. Dad would get as excited as anyone there on liftoff. 🚀
As someone who was born far too late to watch the Saturn V launches myself, I am incredibly excited at the chance of being able to see man step on the moon again. This time to stay on our rocky friend
As a person who's father worked for Boeing, I've been drawing Mercury/Redstone/Atlass launches, Gemini/Titan II, Apollo, Skylab, Soyes/ Apollo link up/ I.S.S. (i,e, "THE RED STAR" (BECAUSE NASA DIDN'T HAVE A WAY TO GET U.S. up there. N.A.S.A. paid for the Ukraine war by sending American Cosmonauts up into space for 14 years. THEY ABOANDONED THE U.S. to what political plan God only knows. THEY HAVE LOST MY TRUST & RESPECT. LONG LIVE ELON MUSK, & MAY HE BEAT THE PANTS OFF OF THEM.
I remember where I was when Apollo 11 was about to launch; I was in junior high school and scared stiff that something would go wrong and how it would affect me; I could barely watch it. You'll note after watching the SV launches that it initially rises slowly, whereas the Artemis, using technology from the Space Shuttle, takes off like a jackrabbit. There are videos here about Wernher von Braun, the German rocket scientist, how the United States came to acquire him, and many technical descriptions of the SV, which was not a flawless rocket, but its main stage was a work of brute-force engineering and had got men into space, however Apollo 13 had defective wiring in the Service Module, of which a movie and numerous articles and books have been written.
My grandpa watched Apollo 11 on tv and now he helped build Artemis 1 and took me to watch it my grandpa watched humans step on the moon for the first time (also met ppl who walked on it) and now i watched us get back to the moon its crazy
Whats funny is the lady announcer that comes on after the laugh must not even know the spacecraft that much she's say 5 Core Engines (but there's only 4). LOL
I was completely unaware that Artemis 1 already launched, completed the mission and returned safely to Earth. WTF RU-vid why ain't you recommending videos like these? I don't watch or read regular news channels and sites so RU-vid recommendations are pretty much my only souce of news.
On god brother. Barely even heard about it on the news. Seems like educational/inspirational media is pushed to the side in favour of brainless and repetitive content.
@@motorsportfan1246what news are you guys watching? They reported on it, you can literally look it up now. Smh. Don't blame your laziness on the news.
Think of how different things would have been if NASA had launched STS-133 with a defective fuel tank and lost its second crew and orbiter in eight years...
I used to watch all the launches with my now late father, Tony Flynn. He had his name onboard Artemis via a nasa boarding pass for this launch. Hope you enjoyed the ride, Dad x
I'm the IPT Lead for the Artemis/Gateway power system development for NG--we were all holding our breath during the countdown and it's to the moderator's credit he could even talk at all! I was so giddy I could barely think straight! Well done folks! 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩 GO ARTEMIS! GO GATEWAY! GO LUNAR COLONY 1!!!
Congratulations to all who worked hard on this launch. America really needed this. I have been a NASA follower for decades. Prayers for this Noble Venture! Godspeed!
Even on TV, it sounded so loud, being there in person must have been overwhelming! Congratulations to the Artemis crew. It's an amazing accomplishment.
@@christfollower2504 Hello fellow christian. Just to remind you the people who you try to ridicule are the same people that love Jesus. Happy holidays.
I’m glad to see the launch, but you’d think that a 4 billion dollar rocket would have a couple cameras onboard…. I would have loved to see the boosters separate from the core stage…
Just imagine what the first Apollo astronauts were thinking and feeling when they first lifted off… absolutely mind blowing..the courage, skill….willingness to possibly die from the unknown.
NASA Never, A, Straight, answer. Don't worry they will fake this "moon landing" most spectacular 😉 they know everything not to do this time with the help of modern day CGI.
I moved to Canaveral in 75 and I got to experience a lot of launches. Many were spy satellites launched from Patrick at night. Aborted missions were not that uncommon and I was asked to join the Cape Canaveral Volunteer Fire Dept. I had to decline due to my work schedule. I was a Customs Broker and did a lot of business with Harris and others that supported NASA.
@@FloridaBoyOnRU-vid you really think that rocket is on its way to the moon ? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣it hit the firmament. Nothing is gng to the moon you fool!!!!!!! Ooo wait maybe they gng to fetch the USA flag off the moon 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I have been following the Space Launch System and Orion spacecraft since I was in High School. Congratulations to all the scientists, engineers, and technicians at NASA that made this mission possible. I have been waiting for years to see this rocket, its RS-25 engines, and twin Solid Rocket Boosters to launch into the sky and to the Moon! Good luck for the rest of the mission and I cannot wait to see Orion come home successfully!
Beginning with the launch of Alan Shepard, I have not missed a single launch of Astronauts or tests of their vehicles! This is a momentous occasion and I wish the mission great success so that we can finally land a person on the moon again!
It was worth the wait. My compliments to the NASA engineers that cobbled this thing together and made it work after some necessary fixes. Artemis is a thing of beauty. WOW!
Watching this launch takes me back to early days of the Apollo moon missions as I remember watching them on television when I was a kid...it's exciting!
I've lived in Titusville for most of my life and have seen countless launches (rockets and shuttles)and they have become so common here that rarely do I even stop what I'm doing to watch them, however this launch was like nothing I've seen here before. It lit up the sky more than any shuttle launch. It was truly spectacular. It really made me remember how awesome they can be. Glad to say that thank God I live a block away from Indian River and didn't have to drive to see it because there were cars parked everywhere I can only imagine how long it took people to get out of the mess of cars after the launch
I heard from a friend that took a chance they would actually have a launch, He Said it took him just over 1 hour to get out of the immediate be area due to the immense traffic there.. (he had been to a few of the later shuttle launches)
@@donismills2955 omg I don't doubt that for a second. I live one block off US1 where there are 2 parks on river that everyone goes to watch these and from what I remember I don't think I've ever seen the amount of cars except maybe when John Glenn went back on one of the shuttles. It was quite literally a cluster f**k! The launch was definitely gorgeous. But I'm SO glad that I live in few minute walk of seeing it. I saw people with the orange glow sticks directing traffic when they were arriving but it was a free for all when it came to leaving. You could hardly walk down the sidewalk, there were even people sitting in fold up chairs blocking the entrance and exits of convenience stores.
Those who believe that man landed on the moon, ask them how fast the spacecraft was flying and how they reduced that speed when they landed in a vacuum. Action and reaction?
@@mendelaskovski3996 Gravity did most of it. Earth gravity reduced the speed from 7 mi per sec to a fraction of that. Then the service module was sufficient for lunar orbit. Action also happens with gravity.
Now THAT is a rocket. Holy hell that was bad ass. I believe it even beat the king of rockets, the Saturn V for Thrust at takeoff. 8.8 million lbs of thrust 🤯
With all the setbacks, all the delays, it's nice to see such a well-planned launch of Artemis 1. My hope is all goes well in the coming days, and the mission proceeds as planned!
I watched this three weeks ago and was reminded of something that one of the commentators said during the launch of an early shuttle mission (I can't remember which one, and edited the comment to reflect this flight): "With no waiting at all, the SLS _kicks, and GOES!_ No slow, majestic climb like the old Apollo--Artemis 1 _leaped_ from the pad like a _scared cat!"_
Since man first looked into the sky they have said “i want to go to that.” I can’t help but to get emotional thinking about how lucky we are to actully witness it. Thousands of generations of our families, we’re the ones who get to see it. We’re F’n doing it!
Are they though? SpaceX does this all the time and their boosters land themselves on drone ships... NASA is currently in the late 1980s, SpaceX is pushing slowly towards 2030. Government just can't keep up with private industry any longer.
The Result of Hardwork.✌️Greetings from India 🇮🇳🇺🇸. I’m working in ISRO. I’m so Excited to See Her lift off. Before I’m very worry about changed the launch date due to some Technical problem. But today I’m very Happy. Again congrats Artemis team and NASA.You’re did a Great Job.👍
Hello from the US! On the flip side, I work with JPL and I'm excited for the NISAR launch and to start getting data back from that mission. To me, India has the most impressive space program today, constantly soaring past very difficult milestones -- and I expect the collaboration with NASA will only strengthen in the future.
Happy Birthday!!! I just turned 61. Age is but a number, it's how you feel inside that's important. This made me feel like a kid again! What a rush.....
It was incredible watching it all happen on Tim Dodd's aka Everyday Astronaut's stream. they got some incredible 8k 120fps zoomed in tracking footage of the rocket throughout its ascent.
Was bummed at the first two launches but better safe than sorry. This thing is too expensive and has required too much blood sweat and tears for it to go wrong. Really happy about the successful launch. This baby took off right off the gates.
2:35 I suppose the launch control announcer was mandated to give his little "we rise together" speech by NASA public relations. Just a simple "liftoff...tower cleared" like in the old days will suffice, thank you very much.
Unfortunately, that became a tradition during the Shuttle era. Listen to the PRO narrator from almost any Shuttle launch and you'll hear the same kind of thing. ULA does it, too.
Congratulations to NASA for having the tenacity to pull this off! Beautiful sight. My only disappointment was there was no on board camera. Please include (at least) one in the future.
CGI? - You mean that hardly insignificant or inconspicuous 321ft 70-metric-ton rocket capable of 8.4 million pounds of thrust at liftoff that hundreds of thousands witnessed at launch at the Cape and along the Florida coastline and is independently tracked worldwide? Go back to practicing your moonwalk you silly fool.
This will not unify anyone. First of all this is mostly an American effort, as far as I know most of the world didn't contribute to this, so people outside of the U.S. most likely don't even care about this.
A new historic lie. Why do we greet each other with what's up? Those whonsay not much think there's no ceiling. The reason we say what's up is because if you know the truth of earth, the sky is blue because it the upper ocean from the beginning. Genesis 1:6-9
@@mkruge9076 Genesis 16:9 tells us to submit to god, not to NASA, while, me being a christian, is dumfounded about how many people are using the bible as a literal excuse on how someone with 100,000,000 does not have enough money to pay one hitman to break your spine.
The speeds the rocket can achieve is phenomenal: 16,000 miles per hour. What a huge speed. A big respect to the U.S. team who made this miracle happen.
It is amazing when you think about it. 22,600 miles per hour or so after tli. Even faster when it comes back. Beautiful launch. It really jumped off the pad faster than I expected once the boosters lit.
Yeah, they at least could have included the speed, distance and altitude in their official stream. Or at least one camera on the rocket. I'd say SpaceX making them look bad, but they really are just doing that themselves. NASA needs to do better if they don't want to be viewed as a joke running missions with a marginally improved Saturn V. At least be at parity with SpaceX.
@RustyClayton...Pssst, SpaceX is a trucking company that works for NASA. Tell me how many times SpaceX has left LEO? Landed on the moon? Sent out an interplanetary probe? Landed a probe on another planet? Sent out interstellar probes? Etc, etc, etc... Credit to Elon, I guess. Dazzle them with BS and you can convince them of anything....
When NASA was sequestered to a large degree I watched my county die. The lifeblood of my area was evacuated and the local economy suffered greatly. To see NASA back and swinging gave me full body goosebumps. 321 forever
thats right where are the cameras man you think they will have them on board is this for real that's nasa for yo SpaceX how ever always have on board cameras on every mission they do i know they a for real SpaceX is where its at
@@BarneysDuckyTie the start of the launch was great but after that you get a simulation with SpaceX you get real time live footage now that's SpaceX Chinas space programme is way better than Nasa and SpaceX they have got the visuals they are epic that's where they are good at its there its there onboard cams they have heaps of onboard cams stationed every where like the Luner missions and there mars missions and lately thee space station
@@RideAcrossTheRiver Hey wait a minute, why cant NASA, the billion dollar budget company afford to pay hitmen to break these flat earthers necks in order to “hide the truth”
Pretty awesome. Not too thrilled about throwing away four SSMEs. They're still technological marvels and they're over forty years old. Great to see them fly
They started working on SLS long before spacex started working on starship. Spacex will be much more advanced than SLS given the same amount of development time.
I wish people would stop this “one company is better than the other” both organizations share the same goals and actually end up helping each other more often than most people realize. They’re on the same team just different players.
You got the right idea. SLS is the proven method. It's not groundbreaking. Starship has much greater ambitions. Much more potential. But it's an unproven method.
2:19 for when the fire starts 2:30 for when it really gets going 2:35 for liftoff 5:21 for science-y diagrams and stuff 6:24 Switches to a computer generated model of the rocket
I am old enough to remember John Glenn's lift off in 1962 and was glued to the TV for every Gemini, Apollo, and shuttle launch. As I watch this video I can't help but hold my breath, remembering the Challenger tragedy.
I'm far more excited about SpaceX and their achievements while NASA and Artimus entered cost overruns and delays. Being born in 1949, I was very aware of the incredible achievements made trying and finally succeeding to get a rocket into space, followed by astronauts. Then we went to the moon and that was exciting. Loved the Space Shuttle flights, the Hubbel Telescope, etc. SpaceX is another wonder, doing great things others could not do. Now we get excited getting Artimus launched into space, FINALLY? NASA will never catch up with SpaceX. It might as well be a public relations agency.
@@bondgabebond4907 I genuinely don't get it, how is NASA "catching up" with SpaceX? NASA's rocket is on the way to the moon right now, SpaceX's is in parts strewn across various craters in the desert while the owner drops $44 billion on Twitter.
@@Isosyth Oh, please. Sending a capsule to the moon is old stuff. What I am saying is that it took NASA decades, cost overruns, delays, etc. just to get this rocket off the ground. Werner von Braun in the 1960s did this with great fanfare. Today, I am ashamed that these NASA twits took so long to do it right. Look at the history of the Artimus and it is a sad story. Elon's rockets could have easily done that but it is busy launching almost daily while it took years for NASA to get "one" rocket off. I was there when we sent our first man into orbit and men to the moon. This is small stuff.
@@bondgabebond4907 that's apples to oranges. Nasa and space x are completely different. Nasa has a huge budget limitation where as space x doesn't really. Plus space x is a contractor, not a space agency.
I am also a member of the Apollo generation and this has been a very long time coming for me. Watching a Saturn V launch even on TV was a truly amazing experience. 50 years later I watched this launch on a tablet! And absolutely nothing could have prepared me for what I experienced when they lit this lady. I have never seen - or heard - such mind-boggling power. And as for what I felt the moment that rocket left the launchpad? Pure, euphoric joy!
Let's put some things in perspective here: Towards the end of the video, the vehicle was traveling at a whopping 16000 mph. The distance between New York and Los Angeles (in a straight line) is 2446.3 miles. So it would only take this rocket 9.17 minutes to travel across the length of the US! Some added perspective: A quick search shows that the fastest commercial rifle cartridge in the world is the .220 Swift (developed by Winchester). Its highest recorded velocity is 3180.7 mph. So when this rocket reached 16000 mph, it was moving 5 times faster than the fastest bullet!
@@odynith9356 Actually, it's closer to 25,000 mph -- about 7 miles/sec (11.2 km/sec). And you're not escaping earth's atmosphere per se, you're "escaping" Earth's gravity well.
Very exciting, however with our advanced technology, one would think there would be video from the rocket itself instead of a cheesy animation shortly after launch.
I'm just saying in comparison, the various Space Shuttles, as well as Spacex flights have live video from launch to landing pretty much. Let's not even get me started on the years lost since the last Moon mission that we are finally returning to "begin" efforts to establish a base. In my opinion, we should have already done this.
That was unbelievably beautiful! Her calm effective voice was a perfect match to those thunderous engines heading back to the moon for the first time in 50 years.
PR move from NASA (hiring her to talk). She is just a voice and is not an engineer or scientist of any form. She couldn't explain any of the Artemis details any more than you could.
@@andriys.1860 LOL, do you think? Do you think this girl was chief systems engineer on the project? LOL. She is just a hired voice, given a little training on how to deliver the spiel, how to pronounce and sound really cool and professional. She talks from script. Don't let the facts butthurt you.
I STILL NOT BELIEVE. Those who believe that man landed on the moon, ask them how fast the spacecraft was flying and how they reduced that speed when they landed in a vacuum. Action and reaction?
@@mendelaskovski3996 It's simple. We didn't have the technology needed to fake it in the late 1960s. Seriously. The cinematography and special effects simply did not exist then. But do you know what we DID have? The technology to do it. Not to mention the fact that there's no way the THOUSANDS of people involved in the project, from technicians to engineers to astronauts, would have all gone along with it. Now please go away with your conspiracy bullshit.
yes, we are certainly moving forward at a high speed...... we have poisoned the water, the land, the seas, the air, the food.....the real humanity is moving forward to destruction!
A lot of taxpayers money wasted. Meanwhile, that could have EASILY take care of our Southern border. Millions of illegal democrat voters moving in and bringing with them fentanyl and poisoning the American population.
@@DOCTOMandTHEBANDITS The difference is that NASA is owned by the People, and the development of Space Technology by NASA does not come with some single billionaire's opportunity to blackmail the American Public if there is some reason that we NEED this technology. For instance, let's use a hypothetical situation: there is a comet that will fly too close to the earth and possibly hit us. (I'm just making up a situation so don't panic!) Do you REALLY want one of the incredibly selfish billionaires with delusions of grandeur to be able to blackmail the American People into making him King if he uses his tech to go and deal with it? Or to pledging to use ONLY his businesses for all government contracts in the future, no matter the cost? Elon Musk already tried to blackmail the US government once, regarding providing internet service to Ukraine, which would have destroyed their ability to fight the war against Russia! Do you truly think that any of the billionaires that have space flight capability would be able to resist getting a HUGE pay-out from such a "service" to the earth? And I mean a HUGE pay-out; not just a reasonable one. They are all sociopaths with delusions of grandeur, which is how they got to be billionaires in the first place, because it comes with the misuse of regular people for one's own profit. This country does not need a king, nor does the earth need an emperor. This country is one of the few that can afford to have a publicly owned space program, so we owe it the future to do so. Our former space program developed so much new technology that it transformed our world! What wonders could the new space program bring?
holy cow it actually worked! bummer I felt as sleep while waiting to watch it, suck that they launched at night! Would have been beautiful during day time.
@@iitzfizz I'm in the East Coast Time zone, had the stream on and felt asleep at around 12:20ish. Woke up an hour after it launched with the stream still going, had to double check twice to see that im not in a dream lol... Heck of a expensive rocket and I'm glad it went smooth after a 3rd tried. Now it's SpaceX Starship time to launch! Hopefully next month!
This never gets old no matter how times I see it I love to see a launch in person be Alot better then watching on screen, I think it's even better watching a night launch , hopefully they will be sending people back to the moon soon, just amazing every launch I watch is like the first one I've seen love watching those engine light my favorite part , I'd like to thank the people for making it possible for everyone to have the chance to watch this spectacular sight , I would love to get the opportunity to ride along to space , 12000 mph that's faster than a bullet travel the ultimate drag raceer
According to the live stream Artemis 2 is supposed to be carrying the first woman and first person of color to set foot on the moon. It's a massive leap for humanity!
@@captainpobtamere3024 North Korea is complete dogsh!t. Kim Jong Un can suck my b@lls then go f$ck his b!tch of a sister. North Korea is using the most outdated garbage in the world. They are weak. You guys keep blowing missiles over Japan and into the Pacific and you’ll find out just how advanced US technology is….and just how outdated your technology is.😂😂🤣🤣
You'd think with all the billions of dollars that have been wasted on this project they could have at least found someone to write a script for the commentators that didn't sound like it was written by a sixth grader.
Ah, I missed those SRBs... Yeah, they're dirty, but they sure do put on a show, especially at night. Al McDonald would've loved seeing his boosters at work again.
Those who believe that man landed on the moon, ask them how fast the spacecraft was flying and how they reduced that speed when they landed in a vacuum. Action and reaction?
@Window you didn't know? Cameramen are so powerful they can fly on their own. No need for planes or drones. As soon as you become a cameraman you gain the ability to levitate
