We launched Artemis II yesterday. Now what? Four astronauts recently launched from NASA's Kennedy Space Center to embark on a mission around the Moon. But liftoff was just the beginning.

@NASAKennedy The mission marks a huge step for lunar exploration, paving the way for sustainable human presence on the Moon.

@NASAKennedy We need to see the flag

Sorry to say your launch coverage was bush league. The the camera perspectives, or lack thereof. The cut away to spectators during the booster separation? Like I wanted to see some guys fat leg’s instead? Intermittent telemetry data and graphics. You might want to reach out to Elon for some tips.

Why are we not getting better camera coverage of the actual Artemis craft? The live feed is mostly a visualization, for fuck's sake. You do know this is 2026, the great noticing, and not to mention that earthers are very vigilantly following every second of this mission. Do better @NASA

@NASAKennedy Sounds so familiar..... Tom Hanks didnt go this time though, right?

@NASAKennedy Do they have the opportunity to abort at this point?

@NASAKennedy Our four astronauts

@NASAKennedy wow...such a milestone achievement but why will the land into the ocean when they get back to the earth?

@NASAKennedy Isn’t this something that was done a fucking long long time ago already? Are we just basically recycling missions now or is this just specific to government organizations while the private sector actually makes progress

@NASAKennedy man we really went back to the moon before fixing potholes on earth

Liftoff is only the opening chapter now comes the real test of deep space endurance, navigation, and systems reliability. As the crew of NASA pushes toward lunar orbit, every maneuver and data point brings us closer to proving the technology needed for future missions like Artemis III. What are you most curious about in the next phase of the journey?

@NASAKennedy Plz upgrade the toilets

@NASAKennedy Amazing how bad cameras are... Almost as bad if not worse than 50 year ago...

Artemis II launched — great engineering feat. But “now what?” is the real question. We’re spending billions sending four astronauts around the Moon while borders remain wide open, debt explodes, and American cities struggle. Space exploration is impressive, but America First means fixing problems at home before chasing more lunar selfies. Priorities matter. #ArtemisII #AmericaFirst

@NASAKennedy Space exploration is about continuity: Apollo opened the door, Artemis walks through it.

This is embarrassing. With a $94 billion budget, a woman on Earth is explaining to the public what is supposedly happening in space—when there could easily be 4K live streams covering every angle of the mission and the surrounding void. It’s genuinely sad that Nazi scientists in the 1960s, like Wernher von Braun and Kurt Debus, delivered clearer and more direct results despite the heavy classification imposed by Eisenhower’s Space Act. The fear of filming something unusual seems far too great.

@NASAKennedy This is where the mission becomes even more meaningful. Beyond liftoff, Artemis II is about proving operational readiness, deep-space crew performance, and the reliability needed for the next era of lunar exploration.

@NASAKennedy Answer this, what number did Nixon call in the 60s to reach the moon?

@NASAKennedy Seems like nonsense when there is advanced technology and man made UFOs capable of space travel

@NASAKennedy History in the making! 🚀🌕 Artemis II isn’t just about liftoff, t’s about humanity taking another giant step toward the Moon and beyond. The journey ahead will inspire generations, and we’re all cheering for the crew as they carry our dreams into deep space!

@NASAKennedy The transition from high-G ascent to deep-space cruise is the ultimate stress test for life-support telemetry. Precision at this stage defines the trajectory margins for the entire lunar flyby.

@NASAKennedy Step one complete. The true story unfolds as they navigate around the Moon and push humanity forward.

@NASAKennedy Why did no one set up a Livestream on that?

@NASAKennedy With Artemis II now underway, the astronauts begin their journey orbiting Earth, traveling toward the Moon, testing deep-space systems, and paving the way for humanity’s long-term return beyond low Earth orbit. Liftoff was only the first step

@NASAKennedy Maybe we figure out how to repair the million dollar toilet.

@NASAKennedy Appalling coverage considering the significance of the event.

This again is such a positive story coming up amidst all the negative energy the war brings. It is wonderful that this is happening in our time, I appreciate all the things I am learning and I will sure follow the journey until they get back. Wish the astronauts a safe trip and they will return successfully.

@NASAKennedy My dream is to be a pioneer, whether at NASA or Elon Musk's space project.

@NASAKennedy This is how we are waiting as the world.

@NASAKennedy "A historic moment for humanity. Seeing Christina Koch, Victor Glover, and Jeremy Hansen break these records together is exactly the inspiration we need. Next stop: the Lunar South Pole! 🌎✨"

@NASAKennedy Hard to top that much fake and gay in a 50 year period. See you guys again in what, 2076?

@NASAKennedy No, stop lying. You launched that into the water and those 4 🤡s are playing pantomime here on earth

@NASAKennedy The Artemis II mission is off to a great start! The four astronauts, Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover, Christina Koch, and Jeremy Hansen, are currently in high Earth orbit, completing critical checkouts of the Orion spacecraft ¹. Over the next 10 days, they'll: - *Test Life Suppor
