    I see this often, but why does the rocket 🚀 always curve when going up? Don’t understand this because I get that there’s always going to be resistance when gravity is involved. But shouldn’t we correct this over time? It’s like it’s going somewhere else. Inform me please??… Thank you

      Because it’s following the curvature of the earth lol that’s just proof the earth is round not flat. Plus the earth is rotating fast and you have to go faster than that speed to escape its gravity…or something like that 😅

    Shame the team cut out booster separation, but maybe due to paranoia some people have, they did not want to accidentally show a failure. Booster separation is a risky part of launch. Good launch, though. Also, looking forward to SSTO rockets, where one stage is required. Will these happen in the 21st century?

    It’s honestly inspiring to see NASA documenting a “historic breakthrough” using what is clearly a Nokia 8110, the same phone that could survive a direct meteor strike and still have 3 bars of reception.
    Truly, nothing screams advanced spacefaring civilisation like filming a billion‑dollar miracle on a device last updated when dial‑up internet was still a personality trait.
    At this point I’m convinced the Mars Rover is being controlled by Snake II and a very determined intern.

    Everyone talking about Space X doing it better 😂 ESA and the Ariane 5 and 6 do it better than both – JWST on Ariane 5 and the new 4 booster Ariane 6 is absolutely crushing everything. .. and all the coverage of these launches and deployments by ESA are what they should be, high quality and classy – Simple.

    But to all the people involved in making this Artemis II launcher and mission possible – Maximum Respect 🔥

    Why is the video quality so awful and the cuts and camera so terrible. Was there only one camera watching this launch?

    So let me get this straight – after landing on the Moon in 1969, with all the advancements since then, NASA can now only manage about 25% of what they did back then?

  33. @bagwon

    April 2, 2026 at 3:00 pm

    Somewhere out there there’s a shot of the boosters ejecting, but not here. What terrible editing decisions… what do I have to do to see the actual highlights.

  34. @CRYPTOPSYKER

    April 2, 2026 at 5:34 pm

    Yeah. Here we go. Now every simpleton will be writing gushing comments under every cartoon the puppeteers from NASA show them. Soon the simpleton will watch a missionary from Artemis 2 walk up to the American flag on the Moon and say, “Here I am, approaching the American flag that the Apollo 11 missionaries planted, and now I stand next to it, feeling the continuity.” And the flag will be waving — how romantic. How touching. At that moment, the simpleton will shed a tear. And in another ten years, they’ll show him a real lunar base. All Moon-y and pre-Moon-y. And the gullible simpleton, raised on Hollywood fakes where mugging millionaires pretended to be fighting star wars, will stare at his screen and watch the daily lives of the “astronots.” The astronots, 24/7 — or however long lunar time works — will play lunar volleyball at their lunar station, throw lunar discos with lunar robots, eat lunar food on camera, strum lunar guitars, and do lunar acrobatic exercises. The investments in AI have to pay off. Under those videos, the simpleton will write comments like “Wow, cool guys, you’re advancing scientific progress, keep it up.” At night, the simpleton will turn his nose up at the sky, gaze at the Moon, and replay all those videos in his head. And after him, his children will do the same, and then his grandchildren, clutching plastic Challengers for ten bucks in their tiny hands… This isn’t a lunar exploration program that’s been launched. It’s a program for siphoning off taxpayer money. Those taking part in this show will truly live like star boys and star girls, forming a celestial caste — perfectly earthly — that the gullible simpleton and his taxpaying descendants will support out of their own pockets, generation after generation, and into which they will never, ever be let. What did you think? It’s zoology, folks. We all want to eat.

    Anyone notice him log into the iPad 3:00 spot. First, he uses a very basic code, interesting. Second, why have a code on his iPad. Is iPad security really an issue in space, isn’t it only used for work stuff. Ha. In an emergency, hold please, let me log into my iPad. Ha.

    So they now have 55 years of the flawed fake Apollo missions to learn from. They will surely not make the same mistakes this time so it looks more believable.

    As I write, two card carrying members of the Pentagon are orbiting the moon, scouting for sites to establish lunar colonies for the
    military dictatorship of the Yanqui Empire to plant the poisonous seed of military slavery beyond their Earthly endeavours. The
    mission: to build a lunar launchpad to spread Yanqui military slavery throughout the galaxy. Before Hitler conquered Europe, he first
    had to conquer Poland. Before the Yanqui can conquer the galaxy, he must first conquer the moon. Same goal, same strategy.
