In the wee hours of Wednesday, November 16, 2022, at
1:47 am EST, NASA's newest rocket, SLS Artemis, had a historical launch from the Kennedy Space Center at Cape Canaveral, Florida. After having spent several weeks leading up to the launch scouting locations in order to photograph the streak of light as the rocket left Earth, I stumbled across one location that allowed me to almost perfectly capture the launch. This shot is possible due to the fact that the launch of SLS Artemis had been scrubbed or rescheduled several times, and even delayed due to RADAR technical difficulties and the red team being deployed during the countdown, which allowed for the incredible alignment of the moon with the rocket's trajectory.
The images from this video were a combination from partaking of the KSC Explore Tour 2 days prior to launch, as well as locations around the Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge, which shares space with the Kennedy Space Center. All locations are those that the public could access, either free of charge, or the cost of admission to the Space Center.
