With everything going on this year watching Artemis II from launch to splash down was a joy. Can’t wait for more pictures and anecdotal thoughts like Victor just shared.

for the problem with scale 5:54 it would be great if they had a 360 or 180 degree camera on the spacecraft. that way people could experience the scale of it with a headset VR
