Artemis Launch

I just want to congratulate NASA on the successful launch of the first Artemis mission early this morning.

The Artemis rocket must be considerably more powerful than the Saturn V.
I know its taller.
And this is all impressive.

But did anyone miss the slow climb of the Saturn V rocket off the pad.
It struggled more, climbed slower, and shook the earth more.
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.

Dave,

You are absolutely correct! I was 11 when Apollo 11 made it to the moon. At that time I thought I would make it to Florida from California some day to see a Saturn V liftoff. Unfortunately, that didn't happen and I also neglected to get to the cape to watch a shuttle launch.

I'm 65 now and I still want to get to Florida to see a launch. Hopefully, I can see another Artemis liftoff before I leave this mortal firmament . . .

Mike

Can't say I remember the launch of Apollo 11. I was only 2 and lived thousands of kilometers away (yeah, kilometers. I'm continental European )
My parents once saw a Space Shuttle launch and that seems to have been quite impressive too.

I was on the causeway and it was the best show since Skylab. This is a great day in the USA and the World. With all the vote shenanigans and war worries.....for once the good guys got a win!


Good Luck and Godspeed SLS-Orion!

I'm old now too..lol. I remember watching all the Gemini and Apollo hardware lifting off...but i was to young the remember Mercury. That being said the slowest liftoff of a Saturn V was Skylab, (lumbered into the sky and lost one of the fairings down range). The SRB boost is why the SLS lifted off so quickly. The first Shuttle mission set fires all around and leapt of the pad. What a site that was!



Yes we are old...

Hello everybody,
wow, what a spectacular picture-book launch of NASA's SLS Moon Rocket with the Orion Spacecraft atop to its maiden flight Artemis 1 that leaves you wanting more.


Source: NASA

BTW, I have asked my friend James MacLaren, about his impressions compared to Shuttle launches. He lives in the vicinity of the Pads 39A/39B and who 5 years did work during the building of Pad 39B and can follow every launch from the pads, so to speak is always sitting in the front row.

And as he has reported, it was it was VERY bright, the brightest thing, by far, that he has ever seen fly. It really lit the place up. He watched from the back yard of the house in the city of Cape Canaveral. It really lit the place up. And the rumble was very loud, with a lot of crackling and popping, and it went on and on and on ...
He wasn't expecting it to be sensibly different from a Shuttle, but the difference was noticeable. It was .... more. More .... everything. And he meant: That thing is a BEAST!

Watched it on my computer, but I have been present for Shuttle launches and a Saturn V launch. They were something you felt as much as saw. The rumbling shakes inside your chest.

I watched this launch knowing what I learned from the Shuttle launches: Photos and video cannot do them justice. Literally. The RSRMs burn VERY brightly. You can’t look directly at them. Film/video compensates. But if you’re actually there, anywhere close, you can’t stare at the rocket as it ascends.

(And “vote shenanigans”?? Please. Not here.)
