NASA's media team incorporated an advanced 'Moonboard' touchscreen to help viewers understand the launch of the SLS rocket and Orion's journey around the moon.
The launch of Artemis 1 was nearly a dozen years in the making, and represents the efforts of countless NASA engineers, contractors and mission specialists from across the United States, many of whom flocked to Florida's Space Coast to witness the launch.
