Artemis 1

Mods, move this wherever you see appropriate. But Auburn has had a huge influence on NASA over the years due to the high percentage of engineering majors. Tonight is a celebration. We launched the SLS rocket developed largely in Huntsville with a lot of Auburn grads! As someone affiliated with… a government agency… this is really exciting. Godspeed Artemis 1 and War Eagle!

  Very true! Auburn grads played a big role in the spectacular launch of Artemis I. WDE!

Just watched it live from Kennedy on the causeway.  Third time is the charm.  

“War Eagle” is going to the moon…..Pelfrey wrote it somewhere, he’s an AU Alum 😬

Proud of Team Boeing! 

Now, bedtime 🥱

Congrats and War Eagle!

I was wondering why I was seeing so many cars at one of the NASA buildings last night, as I was leaving the Arsenal.

If anyone is interested, here are some pretty incredible launch photos taken by the professional photographers on site.

Artemis 1 mission, complete!

Complete success, vehicles performed flawlessly.  Perfect splashdown.  

1.4M miles traveled, and Orion is back on Earth in excellent condition.  

Now on to Artemis 2!  🚀
