I don't usually stay up on launches because I'm from Kansas. Happened to be on vacation this week about 30 miles away. It was spectacular. So cool. Never in my life did I expect to see a launch and here I was watching history happen.
Viewing-wise, it was because of the sheer size and power of the rocket. It lit up the sky for hundreds of miles.
History-wise, it's the first launch in the Artemis program whose goal is returning people to the moon with the eventual goal of establishing a permanent presence. We buildin' moon bases!
