Kind of sad that this event isn't like it was with Apollo in the 60's and 70's where each launch was a national event and everyone was on the edge of their seats watching it.

Well maybe if NASA does something new?
Like what?
Moon base or go to Mars would be the top two I think.
There are no plans for either.

Flying saucers maybe. With Trump in office, maybe a return to die Glocke. It's Nazi after all!

NASA Administrator Details Historic Significance of Today's Artemis II Launch: Promises Boots on the Moon by 2028, Moon Base, Mars...
"We are going to send four astronauts farther into space than we’ve ever sent humans before, faster than humans have ever traveled before around the moon and back safely to Earth... We are going back to the moon. We’re picking up where Apollo 17 left off. We’re going back to stay this time. We’re going to build the moon base."
"President Trump did not want us to go there to plant the flag and leave the footsteps again. He wanted us to go and stay to build the Moon base to test the capabilities that are going to be necessary so someday when a rocket leaves here at Kennedy Space Center it may be going to Mars"
"In 2028— before the end of President Trump‘s term— Artemis IV is going to put American boots back on the surface of the moon"

Isn't there a plan for the moon base?

Good popcorn movie.
We just watched the launch too. Wow.
