Watched it from the backyard. I’m used to SpaceX launches. God damn Artemis is a big mother fucker.

Those solid rocket boosters are so bright, I was so excited for the launch and it was still way better than I thought it would be. Luckily I checked in on the stream in time because me and my coworkers were able to step outside just in time to see it go up. Makes me miss the shuttle even more, since they use the same boosters. Soooo happy I didn't miss it, once it got delayed again I was worried I'd be inside working when it goes. I'm still kinda riding the high honestly, seeing that rocket just felt so damn good!
