Holy shit you guys we just watched #Artemis go from the plane

[samvarma@fosstodon.org]

@heathborders plane was actually half empty, but I did AirDrop the photos and footage to anybody who wanted it

[samvarma@fosstodon.org]

@bazurk @Thoreau Fair enough. Probably shouldn't mention that I popped the emergency exit open to get the shot

[bazurk@social.lol]

@samvarma @Thoreau

Yeah don’t sit next to me on a plane. Ever.

[samvarma@fosstodon.org]

@bazurk @Thoreau Noted

[thoreau@mas.to]

@samvarma @bazurk Aw, it had to be a different plane, because my plane was flying along the coast line on a northerly route.

@samvarma Thank you for sharing this!

@samvarma

So cool! Thanks for sharing!

I watched the last moonshot, Apollo 17, go up from Lakeland. It was late at night. It makes these views all the more meaningful to me.

@samvarma Wow, what a view!

@samvarma @bazurk @Thoreau

Well I hope the air stewards refused to give you another glass of wine or snack!! Shame on you!

@heathborders @samvarma Ha!
Just to say, in reality it wouldn’t matter, not like in a small boat.
But if everyone ran to the front or back, that would indeed be catastrophic.

@samvarma Did you know you’d be flying during the launch, chose the side of the plane accordingly? Or was it sheer luck? Did the pilot announce it before you saw it? It must’ve been very exciting.

Anyway, what a wonderful way to have seen the launch.
