Artemis 2

Edited Oct 17, 2026

Written on October 17, 2026. Covers my trip to Cape Canaveral, Florida, for the Artemis 2 launch.

I flew down to Florida to witness and record the Artemis 2 launch for myself, and I will say I'm pretty happy with the results.

My Footage (Stabilized)

This was my first time recording a rocket launch, and I even rented a special lens just for this. I got a 200-600mm Super Telephoto Sony lens for the week and capture this footage with it.

Some other miscellaneous photos/stills.

I was recording from about 11 miles away, and it took the noise and the rumble of launch almost a minute to reach the park. It felt incredible, though I would love to be closer in the future.
