Hi Michael,

great SLS rocket with Orion!

Is it an AXM Paper kit, what scale is it?

Apparently you still have free space in your house.

The thrilled lasted longer.

Artemis rose too quickly.
It all happened too fast.
It felt like any other launch from last week.

Its not the Sixties any more...you kids just won't get it
You can't recreate your first time.
.
Ya weren't there.
I'm old.

The launched version of SLS (98 meter / 322 ft.) It is about 12 meter / 41 ft.) shorter than the Saturn V (111 meter / 363 ft). The Saturn also was a lot heavier than the SLS stack. That was what made its rise from the pad slower. Saturn's engines were extremely powerful but the SLS stack has the advantage of those two ultimate firecrackers on both sides. They are 100% responsible for the quick liftoff. I guess those RS-25's wouldn't even be able to get the SLS stack off of the pad.

Besides, all of us are more or less conditioned by the omnipresent slow-motion film stock of the rising Saturn. That really made the launch a much longer event in our minds. They always show the slo-mo footage: Ultimate Saturn V Launch with Enhanced Sound - YouTube
In fact, it was (not a lot but nevertheless) a little quicker: Apollo 11 Launch (Original NASA Video) - YouTube
But those boosters make the Artemis mission really jump off the pad.

I wasn't born yet when Apollo 11 left for the moon but I can clearly remember when I was about 11 how Columbia was launched for its maiden flight. And I know remembering its significance. I watched this launch on my smartphone while commuting to my daily job. That was what kind of amazed me. Looking at live images on a super thin small wireless device while on the move.

I guess with all those rockets going up nowadays, streamed live a launch is not that special any more, even though it is a 'new' launcher.
Landing boosters however, still amaze me.

Can’t find the time it took Artemis I to clear the tower, but the interwebs say it took a Saturn V 7.5 seconds to do so.

Just looking at the different clips of SLS I estimate it was about six seconds and some millisecs. A little difficult to see because of the night launch and the light flooding out the details in most shots. But is isn't *that* much less as the Saturn,

So that also kind of confims the psychologic impact of those slowmotion imagery of the Saturn V launch.


It's a little like this:

I set my alarm clock to get up in the very early morning to see the launch live.
I followed on TV the event with the commentary of a scientific journalist, whilst looking at the stream on the "ISS Live Now" official app to get more details...
As always, in these epochal moments, a little tear moistened my eyes: I was there, together with Campos, Helga, Zohar, Shaun, and Snoopy. Human intellect, through cooperation of many brilliant minds, can really do wonderful things.

By the way, right now you can follow the Orion's DRO (Distant Retrograde Orbit) insertion around the Moon on "ISS Live Now" official app! :-D
