I like that NASA did not launch this mission until everything was just right. They did not rush it, and made sure everything was ready and safe before lift off. It paid off with a good mission!

Congratulations Artemis to the start back to what our forefathers had started back in the 1960s. My father would had been very proud of the achievements that so many hard working people have invested so much time and effort to make this happen.

To a person whose family didn't own a car until he was 7, and didn't have a telephone until he was 12, the presence and immediacy of this amazing technology boggles my mind. Utterly amazing.
-
And with that, a new era in spaceflight history has officially begun! Well done to all the folks at NASA who worked this incredible unmanned flight from launch to Pacific landing.

What an incredible time to watch space craft landing live! Cant wait to see Artimis landing on MOON live.

As I watched this earlier today, I wondered if the way I felt (excited as heck) was in any way similar to the way people felt back in 1969, watching Apollo 11 re-enter and splash down. I loved how the Public Affairs Officer said, "From Tranquility to Taurus-Littrow, to the tranquil waters of the Pacific, the latest chapter of NASA's journey to the Moon comes to a close. Orion, back on Earth."

It's nice to hear Rob back narrating the mission. He did an excellent job with the shuttle missions.

This means so much to me having watched liftoff and splashdown since probably Mercury. My dad for some reason was fascinated by the space program and so we watched whatever was broadcast - on CBS since that is what we could get. Early on, I had no idea what I was seeing let alone the importance. I do remember clearly all of the Apollo missions. I still think that we need wings and wheels, but this was awesome, memorable, beautiful.

Leaves in fire, returns in water. Absolutely beautiful!

Oh those three parachutes with red and white stripes popping out of the capsule, trailing behind then unfurling in the wind to bring the capsule home, just gets the heart pumping. Not to mention the spectacular launch!
-
This sure brought back memories of the Apollo missions splashdowns from when I was a young man in HS. Back then there was no onboard cameras so seeing the reentry from inside the capsule is so very neat. Certainly not as nail biting though as it was waiting for the Apollo 13 capsule reentry in April 1970.

Watching a capsule splash down in the water harkens back to the days when I was a kid watching the Mercury, Gemini and Apollo programs splashdowns.
