FYI the abort rocket has a fake motor, and fake fuel on board. so if there is an issue the ORION capsule will be lost

Also FYI if one of the 4 main engines fails, the craft can still abort to orbit abd do a secondary mission in low earth orbit

Good shot of happy venting from the upper stage. This will "kick" the Orion capsule into a trans lunar injection (get to the moon) on a 4 day journey

"Torque packing nuts" was not on my bingo card today. Does Artemis have a safe word?

Launch Director Charlie Blackwell-Thompson has just given the 'go' for the specialized 'red team' to enter the Launch Pad 39B to tighten bolts on a valve on the mobile launcher.
