Full Overview of Artemis I Moon Mission

The Artemis program was mired in so much negativity, doubt and skepiticism among experts and space enthusiasts, but my inclination was always to be optimistic about it. When Artemis I returned, it was a huge sigh of relief to me as well and I felt vindicated in my faith in NASA and its partners! Here's to the future missions going as smoothly. :)

I was 6 and remember Apollo11 as well as most of the rest.. teachers rolled out TV for 4 years. It was awesome.

We waited so long for James Webb Space Telescope and Artemis to launch it felt this would never happen. Suddenly JWST is working away in its special place in space, cranking out a new level detail in imaging and science. Artemis did it’s usual tease with launch attempts. Again, suddenly it was headed to the moon.

Thanks so much, Fraser! I really appreciate this Overview episode; I was super enthusiastic about Artemis, but my work precluded my being able to follow the mission in detail. My kid and I saw Artemis on the launch pad last Spring, and it's thrilling to know it flew successfully.

I would like to say something. don't get me wrong - the rocket hardware is absolutely amazing. What they have built is awe inspiring, and a true testament to human genius and persistence. But I would like to give a huge shout out to the people responsible for what you don't see. The geeky people drip fed coffee and fed on Pizza. Yes thats the software developers. They miss out because people cant see what they do, but they also do an awesome job, and tend to be the first that get blamed if things go wrong. So a big congratulations to and thanks to the software people - you are all just as awesome as the rocket scientists!

I'm excited about the success of Artemis so far. I am now more excited about Exo Planet discoveries than I was a week ago. I am excited because of the recent announcement of the breakthrough with Nuclear Fusion. There is still a long way to go with Fusion but the recent success has given me hope the our planet may survive long enough now to give us the extended time our civilization has to develop the technology. One day fusion might be what enables us to visit another solar system and check out it's planets, moons, and the star itself.

It's been a Promethean week, hasn't it? It's as if we've discovered how to create and use fire, what with the nuclear fusion announcement. Couple that with Artemis and the successful launch of the Hakuto R mission, we have a lot to look forward to in the coming year!

I've been following Artemis since it's announcement, I'm so happy I'm finally seeing lunar exploration instead of just reading about it! I grew up in the Houston area, the space program has always meant a lot to me

I have developed a very deep respect and admiration for NASA. I love their cautious approach to lauches and missions. Let's support this fabulous agency!!

It's really funny how Nasa (and news) kept saying "farthest human rated spacecraft" until during the landing they finally got the memo and added somthing like "that was planned to return to earth". Snoopy finally got the deserved respect.

I was about 14 yrs old when Apollo 17 went to the moon and i was blessed to be there. Only night launch in the program and to this day it still fills me with awe. Same for Artemis. With all of the troubles occuring, present and future, it is needed to focus on things that will benefit us all and keep moving towards a brighter future. Excellent episode!

Thanks Fraser for another awesome, informative video! 👍🏻🔭. I was born several weeks before Sputnik, was 12 when we first landed on the moon. I thought it was so cool that McDonalds gave moon map posters (with purchase) but I would have probably watched every moment of a “live camera” if it were available! ❤

Thanks for this! I always enjoy your longer feature videos.

Thanks for recommending we come back and watch this video after your recent interview with Tom Jones (a superb, surprisingly emotional discussion that I deeply appreciated). Watching your breakdown of the first Artemis again further along in time had me celebrating even more than in real time. Such an enormous accomplishment and yet we're really just getting started. Gonna be some exciting and awesome times ahead, Fraser, no doubt about it! Thank you

Artemis I lept off the pad because the second and upper stages are under-powered, interim solutions. The SLS booster is simply designed to loft a lot more payload than Artemis I had to send. And because these other components were underpowered, there wasn't a lot more it would have been capable of doing as it stands today - at least if it actually had occupants, life support and other essential equipment.

Thank you Fraser, this was an excellent review of the Project. Great content, as usual.

I'm REALLY happy everything worked out for this mission! I'm really looking forward to the next steps! 😃 Thanks, Fraser! Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

I honestly don’t remember seeing ANYTHING about this on the news media. It was a great big hole that the networks just didn’t see. The only place I have heard anything about this is from YouTubers like you.

Nice job with the video! I watched the Apollo 11 landing as an 11 year old and subsequently all the other landings even they were eventually shown in the middle of the night. (There were no means to record back then) I hope I live to see the return of moon walks.

ANOTHER outstanding piece of work - well done!
