Hoping all goes well, we could use some good news.

Cool launch but terrible video of the launch. I’d expect better in 2026.

Agree. Would have expected multiple viewpoints. Amazing complex vehicle. All the best for a successful mission and safe return

I live 14 miles from the launchpad. It was incredible to watch and feel

Not much different from the 80s

Wish we could have stayed for this.

SpaceX does the launch videos with multiple monitors on the vehicle, so it's seen from multiple perspectives. Not the largest, but the most powerfull rocket ever launched by NASA.
It was hard not to feel like a kid watching the Mercury-Atlas launches on a little B&W in the Camelot times. I'm glad it went off without a hitch.
