“I don’t know if I’ll have the flexibility to make it down for the SLS’s next attempt, but what I do know is that my Steam Deck will be a must-have for any future trek to the Space Coast.”
The thing is, you never know what’s going to happen until you get there. The week before last, I traveled down to the Space Coast of Florida to hopefully see the launch of Artemis I in person. The Space Launch System , NASA’s new moon rocket, is one of the most powerful in human history, and I wanted to be there for its initial liftoff.
I arrived bright-eyed, bushy-tailed, and full of optimism that SLS was indeed going to take off as scheduled. That never happened. Instead, the ensuing days were spent seeing friends and trying to plan coverage for a launch that kept getting delayed (I was there as a freelancer, and was largely looking to write post-launch pieces about why it matters, because itI wasn’t a huge fan of portable gaming.
To watch SLS fly at 8:33 am Eastern, when the launch window opened, I had to wake up—let me repeat that, I had to—at 11:30 pm. The crowds were expected to be massive, up to 200,000 people, and I didn’t want to miss the prelaunch events because I was stuck in traffic. Also, there were 700 members of the press accredited for this launch, and let me tell you how the press parking lot and bullpen at Kennedy Space Centersituation for parking and a seat, so early/late it was.
I arrived at the press site around 1 am, and after claiming my spot in the bullpen, there wasn’t a lot to do. I chatted with some friends, as bleary eyed as I was, and then … well, I just waited.
