- Artemis II commander Reid Wiseman was seen entering his tablet PIN on the launch livestream, leading viewers to guess codes like 9393 or 3939.
- The mission faced technical issues, including a temperature error in the Launch Abort System and a communication problem with the flight termination system.
- During the launch, a toilet fan in the capsule jammed, requiring repairs, and astronauts were temporarily restricted to using it only for defecation.
- Artemis II tablets are pre-loaded with TV programs, manuals, and experiment data for the crew's use during the 10-day mission.
- Some viewers criticized the launch coverage for missing the liftoff moment, and the rocket reached orbit nine minutes after launch.
