<![CDATA[Launch of #NASA SLS/Orion Artemis 1 from KSC LC39B, uncrewed test flight to lunar orbit: https://youtu.be/CMLD0Lp0JBg?t=11800]]>Launch of SLS/Orion Artemis 1 from KSC LC39B, uncrewed test flight to lunar orbit: https://youtu.be/CMLD0Lp0JBg?t=11800

I have ✨feelings✨ about this launch; when I worked at NASA part of my job involved editing internal video interviews with engineers and other staff working on this project, and I got really familiar with the 3D-animated B-roll of SLS/Orion as it evolved to its current form. Still messes me up to see it on the pad -- and now actually flying! -- IRL.
