@Punished_Jess The energy of billions of taxpayer funds going up in a bright spectacular fashion. Better than most of the stuff we waste money on.

@Punished_Jess Yeah this for real. IFT-1 felt like a wow! moment, but I was mostly laughing at all the engines going out IFT-2 had me actually shocked, I couldn’t believe the engines weren’t going out and it was actually doing it (1/2)

@Punished_Jess I was up on top of a bridge, and by the time the launch went there was about 20 cops up there with me watching too

@Punished_Jess When those boosters lit, I felt things I don't have words to describe.

@Punished_Jess i was screaming and shaking when artemis 1 took off years of waiting finally paid off and we got to see our beloved SLS fly

@Punished_Jess i dont know, i feel like knowing what starship will and can do along with knowing how long and how complicated starship took to be built, makes IFT-1 and 2 my fav launches

@Punished_Jess NASA was edging us for like 4 months

@Punished_Jess It brought genuine tears and gave me whole body chills, it was a really big launch, the significant importance was massive

@Punished_Jess I wish I had recorded my reaction. I was intimately watching all the prop load procedures & got really antsy when they had that leak. I was a mes of words when it lifted off, and I was up until 3:30 am that night (had a physics test in the morning) but I didn't care at all.

@Punished_Jess I was 5miles away for Falcon Heavy maiden launch, that was amazing. I was 7miles away for SLS, that, THAT WAS INSANE It was so bright that it lit the beach up as if it was high noon The shockwave was so intense people's chairs were rattling FROM 7MILES AWAY

@Punished_Jess Boosters inijition

@Punished_Jess I agree. It was like if Saturn and Shuttle had a baby, which…come to think of it thats what SLS is. The launch was incredible! Starship felt more like a glorified Falcon 9 launch. However Artemis 1 you could feel everyone was just hoping for this mission to succeed!

@Punished_Jess That’s funny I don’t even remember hearing about it until after they were already in space.

@Punished_Jess Starship Flight 2 only goes above because I saw it in person. The tower shot of Artemis 1 was crazy but seeing Starship lift off from just a few miles away, followed by hotstaging and the booster exploding was a whole different level of insane

@Punished_Jess unforgettable.

@Punished_Jess Tens of billions of taxpayers money going into pockets of politicians and Boeing execs, wasted on 60s tech... Nah.

@Punished_Jess Artemis 1 was just spectacular, it’s impossible to hate SLS once it comes to life!

@Punished_Jess 10 years late and $15 billion over budget better buy some internet fans.. In terms of excitement, Chandrayaan and both IFTs were far more exciting, notable and technically impressive.
