Watching the NASA Artemis Launch. Feels like the old days seeing the shots from Banana River

Watching this too. As someone who was a little too non-existent to see the first round of moon launches, this is all very exciting!
Good luck to the Artemis II crew, including Canadian astronaut Jeremy Hansen!

Whew! they made it to orbit!
Trans-lunar injection burn was successful! They're on their way!
And the loo works again. To see the Moon that closely would be amazing.

No kidding. My heart skipped a beat, but at least it made me click on it!
Actually, I think that despite how dangerous it all is, I think the space program has a pretty good track record, despite the few accidents it has had. It is one of those things you can only learn and improve upon. You learn from failures and move on.
The post title; Seeing as how much going up was untested made me feel like this was an 'all-up' flight in the parlance NASA used when they tested everything all at once on a spaceflight (with the astronauts riding or not). Then the debacle last year getting back from the ISS. Seems my default setting right now with NASA is 'cynical but hopeful'. Wasn't like that (most of the time) in the Shuttle era.
Sorry for being clickbaity, Admiral.
