And lol at the poor 2000s 3D view that is lagging hopelessly

When is the upper stage supposed to ignite?

 

[dennis.krenz]

I think the AOA mentioned during ascent is the "Abort once Around", that became available at that point.

AFAIR after 49:52 minutes for the Perigee Rise Maneuver.

That was a great launch, mankind is once more on it's way to the Moon. Hopefully we will see Lunar landing with-in the next two years. Would like to see the TLI but I'll have to get back to bed. Go Artemis.

 

[N_Molson]

Yes, not out of the woods yet. That thing has to pressurize and ignite properly.

No orion inside cockpit cam

It was great to see it. Hopefully they should be on the way to the Moon by morning.

You have quite some time until TLI, it should take place tomorrow after midnight.

Same here. I have a funeral tomorrow morning. You wait for something 25 years and then Murphy's law strikes at you. Relentlessly. That's how life is.

Godspeed Artemis II
