Anyone else staying up to watch the launch to navigate the moon? I didn’t realise until this evening it’s the first launch in 5 decades!

Did anyone else see the face in the clouds earlier on??

Yes!! Said the same thing...

They're down, amazing!

RafaistheKingofClay · 11/04/2026 01:09

They are back on Earth!

JellyBeanSpring25 · 11/04/2026 01:10

Jeez, what a ride!

now get them aboard the USS and get that kettle on!

On the Earth, and in the sea.

RafaistheKingofClay · 11/04/2026 01:10

Well done everyone! It has been amazing.

I’m sitting here with a big grin on my face

I have something in my eye.

Isn't there a fuel shortage? :-S

Cheersmedears123 · 11/04/2026 01:12

That final few minutes was so serene.

Bryonyberries · 11/04/2026 01:13

So glad the whole mission went smoothly. Has been great to watch.

JellyBeanSpring25 · 11/04/2026 01:21

Nobody’s answering the damn ‘phone!

TheAutumnCrow · 11/04/2026 01:21

We need the Apollo 13 music in the background.

I was thinking "Drops of Jupiter" now they're back in the atmosphere...

I can’t go to bed until someone opens the capsule

I’m in bed watching with the cats, it’s amazing. I just want to see the amazing crew! It’s breathtaking.

AlcoholicAntibiotic · 11/04/2026 01:29

They can send astronauts past the moon, get them back again but can’t get a phone to work - typical tech!

‘Can you confirm you are pressing the buttons?’ was brilliant. Can fly to the moon and back. Might not be using the Sat phone correctly.

Bryonyberries · 11/04/2026 01:33

I love that they can talk fine 240,000 miles away 😆 (I know it was different tech).

TheAutumnCrow · 11/04/2026 01:35

I suppose they'll have to tap out morse code on the hull.
