#Nasa Launch

Liftoff. The Artemis II mission launches from @NASAKennedy at 6:35 p.m. EDT (2235 UTC), propelling four astronauts on a journey around the Moon. Artemis II will pave the way for future Moon landings, as well as the next giant leap — astronauts on Mars. Credit: NASA #Liftoff #Launch #Artemis #Moon #Astronauts

Godspeed Artemis II! 🚀🌕 @nasa @nasaartemis @nasakennedy #nasa #artemis #moon #launch #rocket

Witnessing American history & Badassery!!! The Artemis II launch at Cape Canaveral, Florida. The most powerful man rocket in history. Sending four brave astronauts further than any human has ever been from planet Earth. Absolutely spectacular. Well done NASA & Administrator @rookisaacman @nasaadmin 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Raise your hand if you cried. 🙋⁣ ⁣ Witnessing history hits different. Relive the moment the Space Launch System rocket and the Orion spacecraft lifted off with four astronauts aboard – bound for the lunar trip of a lifetime. ⁣ ⁣ Their journey continues.

Artemis II has officially launched. For the first time since Apollo, humans are heading back around the Moon, as Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover, Christina Koch, and Jeremy Hansen begin NASA’s first crewed Artemis mission aboard SLS and Orion. This roughly 10-day test flight is a huge step toward returning astronauts to the lunar surface. 📸 John Howard for Cosmoknowledge

Daytime launch 😍😍😍 #nasa #rocket #space #artemis2 #rocketlaunch

WE’RE GOING BACK TO THE MOON Congrats to the amazing people who worked on Artemis II!🚀 @nasa #nasa #artemisii #rockets #spacenews #backtothemoon

Artemis II lifts off of pad 39B, as seen from right outside the fence. On April 1st 2026, NASA’s SLS rocket flew off the pad at 6:35 PM. Perfect light and not a cloud in the sky. The greatest launch I have ever seen by far. Four astronauts are now in low earth orbit, bound for the moon and to travel further than any human ever has. A big thank you to the hardworking employees at NASA who got this beautiful rocket off the ground. I know this moment was even more special for them than it was for me. Good luck to the crew on the rest of their journey! This video was shot on a remotely triggered video camera placed less than half a mile from the rocket. I am so so proud of it and ecstatic that it came out. 🎥 me (@nyoom.tm) for @thelaunchpadnetwork

NASA’s Historic Artemis II Launch: Crewed Mission to the Moon! 🚀🌕 Witness the breathtaking launch of NASA’s Artemis II mission! Four brave astronauts have just blasted off from Florida aboard the Space Launch System (SLS), humanity’s most powerful rocket. Experience the blinding flash, earth-shaking roar, and the flawless pass through Max-Q as they head on their historic journey around the Moon. Are you watching this historic moment?

A viral clip shows what looks like astronauts escaping right after launch—but is that really true? During the Artemis II, many viewers noticed zip-line–like systems moving near the launch pad and assumed it was an emergency evacuation. In reality, these are part of a safety system designed for use before liftoff—not during flight. This video breaks down the truth behind the footage and explains what’s really happening. 🚀 🎥 Credit: NASA Edited with commentary and visuals for educational and informational purposes.

Artemis II 2026 🚀🌕 Artemis II marks a major milestone in human spaceflight. Launched by NASA, this mission is the first crewed lunar flyby since 1972, designed to test the Orion spacecraft and Space Launch System (SLS) with astronauts onboard 👨‍🚀 🔹 No lunar landing on this mission 🔹 Primary objective: validate life-support systems, navigation, and deep-space operations 🔹 Critical step toward a sustained human return to the Moon The next phase, Artemis III, aims to achieve a crewed lunar landing and expand long-term exploration capabilities 🌙 #NASA #Artemis #SpaceScience #Moon #HumanSpaceflight
