NASA Administrator Shares a Seriously Bada** Photo of the Artemis II Liftoff (‘MERICA!) – Twitchy

Early Wednesday evening Artemis II successfully lifted off for the first mission around the moon in more than 50 years. 

Democrat Sen. Chuck Schumer surprised no one when he tried to make it all political, but the reality is much larger than partisan BS. 

For the first time in decades Americans and others around the world who were born after the Apollo space age have a chance to witness a launch to the moon, and it’s nothing short of amazing. 

We loved this picture that was first shared by NASA administrator Jared Isaacman of the scene during liftoff: 

America’s next leap is underway..
