Live event coverage will air on Space.com courtesy of NASA Television, the NASA mobile app(opens in new tab), and the agency's official website(opens in new tab), with prelaunch activities on Monday, Aug. 22. For anxious toe-tappers, the launch countdown(opens in new tab)starts Saturday, Aug. 27, at 10:23 a.m. ET.
Sure, it might not provide the same epic experience that the Earth-shuddering blastoff will offer, but it's the next best thing and you don’t have to worry about the heat, parking hassles, or huge crowds.

Isn’t there a free NASA channel on pretty much every streaming device? Even the open source Kodi app has it.
But, but datz racissssss.
I suppose it’s uncrewed because they don’t want to risk any astronauts yet. But they could still stuff in a few moon landing deniers or flat earthers, couldn’t they? If they are right, nothing will happen. And if something goes wrong and they don’t come back, nothing lost and nothing gained.
This one is certainly watch worthy, but not “driving to Orlando” worthy.
But when SpaceX is set for the first launch of the superheavy booster and starship stack, I am for sure driving down to South Padre Island to see them light that candle.
I watched all the moon landings in the ‘60s and 70s for free.
Crossing my fingers. Let’s all hope the NASA has broken it’s losing streak.
There is no environmental control system in this one
What loosing streak would that be
Shouldn’t NASA be putting all hands on deck to develop electric rockets?
I assume that’s just an option though, like a cup holder. No point in speakers or a moonroof either.
There seems to be some question about cost of viewing or appreciation that it is free to watch. Why shouldn’t it be? It is paid for by tax payers.
I see that they are selling tickets for viewing? WTH?
We always watched the shuttle launches by just showing up.
Every NASA launch must be viewed free because we taxpayers paid for it!
Thanks.
I just installed the app. It sucks. Typical overloaded gubmint trash website with repetitive superfluity — IOW, stuff that 99% won’t want to know, over and over. Obviously, the overbudget and overdue SLS should be the first thing anyone sees.
And, I just uninstalled it. Still waiting for their poll to arrive about my site experience.
Twin solid rocket boosters that will produce a combined 7.2 million pounds of thrust at liftoff, a towering core stage, and the only human-rated spacecraft in the world capable of deep space travel – together, NASA’s Space Launch System rocket and Orion spacecraft stand ready to usher in a new chapter of exploration. Now fully assembled at Kennedy Space Center in Florida, SLS and Orion will soon launch on the uncrewed Artemis I mission around the Moon, paving the way for astronauts. Artemis I represents a new generation of spaceflight capabilities and partnerships that will take humans back to the Moon and beyond.Artemis I: We Are Capable | June 30, 2022 | NASA

“moon landing deniers”
Meet some—they are kinda interesting folks, actually:

The NASA app on my tablet and tv does have some good points. They do show live launches, but yeah, they do show a lot of meaningless stuff that is irrelevant.
I used to work with one of those guys. There was NO CONVINCING him otherwise.
The heck of it was he was a good conservative, and a Vietnam War vet.
