Holy shit you guys we just watched #Artemis go from the plane

(Edit: I posted video in the replies, if that's of interest❤️)

@samvarma I totally saw your plane. I was like, *who* is flying that plane that close to a rocket launch, OMG.
@Thoreau @samvarma
This is why we need to pay our air traffic controllers !!

@bazurk @samvarma True story!

I think from the plane's perspective they were far enough away, but from the ground the plane looked close enough to the rocket to make me scrunch up my face and try to do mental math involving a rocket traveling south on a vertical incline 100 degrees at 7.8 to 7.9 kms/s and a plane traveling north at 965 km/hr..... 👀 adjust for wind, carry the one, try not to have a small heart attack....

@Thoreau @bazurk Well this is the location that was GPS stamped onto the photo… We were severely far away from that...

Someone else mentioned a plane being super close and it couldn't possibly have been us thinking about it now

@samvarma @Thoreau

I have an anxiety disorder. I’d still freak out.

@bazurk @Thoreau Fair enough. Probably shouldn't mention that I popped the emergency exit open to get the shot

@samvarma @bazurk @Thoreau

Well I hope the air stewards refused to give you another glass of wine or snack!! Shame on you! 🤣🤣
