Classic British Flight Sim

I'll be keeping an eye out for it but weather conditions are not on my side for a view of it here.

Should be a rather large flame shooting out the tail end though .. maybe it'll show through the clouds..

Obviously, I won't see it 'live' from the UK, but I'm very much looking forward to this launch and I hope everything goes as planned. Apart from the boosters strapped to the side, the design looks very similar to a Saturn V to me, although, I guess that the technology has moved on significantly.
Also, I believe that 'Artemis' was the sister of 'Apollo' (as well as being 'Goddess of the Moon'), in Greek mythology, so quite a fitting name for NASA's next generation Moon (and possibly further) launch vehicle.

Deja vu, it's like being 15 all over again. I hope they persist and actually fulfill what was let go.

Hydrogen bleed problem in engine 3.

Scrubbed...
Next available launch site - September 2.

Just as well, it's raining .
I think I'll have some extended slumber time

Joe, next time let them know you're out of bed, and they can go ahead with the launch.

I'll think about it

I hope Artemis has plenty of cameras onboard to take close up, high quality, pictures of the Moon.

A launch date is set for Friday September 2 at 12:48 EDT. (1648 GMT)
A statement from launch officials are giving it a better than zero chance of liftoff.

.. I have no idea what that means but it sounds sketchy

Actually, it's more Space Shuttle than Saturn. The RS-25 engines are ex-shuttle. They were reusable then, but will now only be used once more. The boosters are ex-shuttle with one extra segment. A large part of the main body is based on the shuttle's external tank. It's impressive nonetheless.
