Artemis II launch

Hergé

As a kid I was fascinated with all things space related. I distinctly remember getting home from school and watching the Challenger launch in 1986, you can imagine just how devastated I felt when it exploded.

I was watching breakfast news this morning and the Artemis II launch was shown. I was quite surprised by just how emotional I felt. Thankfully they made it into orbit and will hopefully complete their mission and return home safely.

I would love to see a launch in person, the noise would be incredible.

Hopefully the return to space will endure. I'm sure it will rekindle my interest anew.

  • Having been to Space Center Houston and seeing the moon landing mock-up I really think they filmed the moon landing.

    If after 60 years of space flight with the advance of computing, engineering and tech - why haven't they been back ? maybe they never got there 

    So the grainy tv picture of the day are no longer - now with 4K TV can we expect a CGI creation in a few years time ?

    I feel like your argument for it being fake also works as an argument for it not being. If it was fake, why haven't we "been back"? Video technology has increased in quality, but so have visual and practical effects that could fake this. It's not been impossible for the last 50 years. Why wouldn't they keep filming if they could?
