Successful landing on the first attempt of Starship V3!

Way to redeem themselves after the V2 series of issues, especially after losing an RVac during assent!

Congrats to the Starship team!!!

Full Send, for All of Humanity.

No words can properly convey the emotions we felt seeing SLS & Orion soar away from Earth to send crew to the Moon, but maybe words aren’t fully necessary.

Go Artemis II. 🥹 @NASASpaceflight

Ad astra. To the stars we go as our twin solid rocket boosters provided over 75% of the thrust for the SLS rocket. This launch of the first crewed Orion spacecraft on the @NASAArtemis II mission around the Moon sends humans farther into space than ever before.

[NASA @NASA]

For the first time in over 50 years, humans are Moonbound.

At 6:35 p.m. EDT (2235 UTC) NASA’s Space Launch System rocket and the Orion spacecraft lifted off from the agency’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida, sending four astronauts on a planned test flight around the Moon and back. https://t.co/0Q9ZB4IWVI
