That is a kick-ass rocket!  I actually stayed up to watch but couldn't see it because of the cloud cover... but I swear I could hear it just a little. :-)

Its going to be great to see people on the moon once again in a couple of years.

It IS a kickass rocket!!  Another kickass rocket launching soon is the SpaceX Starship...

I will be interested to see what the G-loads were on the "astronauts" during re-entry. One of the goals of the skip re-entry was to reduce G-forces - how well did it work?

This troubles me

Eventually, NASA wants to establish a cadence of one Artemis mission per year to build the Gateway mini-space station in lunar orbit and permanent infrastructure on the moon's surface.

Only ONE mission per year?
