Yes, I saw it. It was amazing. There was a delay of about 30 minutes from the original launch. Artemis was brighter and visible for a longer period than the SpaceX rockets I watch. I watched Artemis from Sarasota and had a view of it for about 6 minutes . At first that deep red/orange. After the initial rockets dropped a bright white pulsating light.

Honestly, if SpaceX had managed this instead of NASA, it would have launched months ago and spent a lot less money to do so. NASA has now awarded SpaceX the future Artemis missions to the moon
It really is not a fair comparison as they are much different (Artemis vs SpaceX Falcons, BUT
The Falcon's cost 67 million per launch, Artemis cost 876 million.
