Certainly a moment to watch live (even if only on YT), given all the set backs.

It was even better for the fact that it really wasn't expected to launch today, several issues right down to the line.

And when the 10-minute hold changed to go, suddenly it was all real. Shame they didn't wait till day break, but that would have left it very late in the launch window.

Would have been good to have more camera footage of the separation of the solid rocket boosters from the point of view of Artemis, (mostly graphics), but there have been several shots from the interim cryogenic propulsion stage itself, showing the solar panels deploy, but again momentarily.

Given the footage from the high resolution cameras on board so far, the footage of the moon will be something to behold.
