When I was going through older posts I updated this post about a funny quote from NASA with info about the Artemis missions. And… Artemis II successfully launched today!

Prior to this the NASA launch that I remember seeing live (or near live) was the Challenger disaster on January 28, 1986, at 11:38 a.m. EST. This was one of the clearer YouTube videos I could find.
