'Lift off of Artemis1. We rise together. Back to the Moon and beyond,' said a NASA announcer

Engineers were forced to temporarily pause the flow of liquid hydrogen into the core stage last night because of a valve leak, though a team sent to the launch pad resolved the problem after an hour.

The Artemis 1 mission, a test flight without astronauts, represents the first step in America's plan to build a lasting presence on the Moon and take lessons from there to prepare for a future voyage to Mars in the 2030s. — Laurence Kinlan November 16, 2022 About 100,000 people had gathered on the coast to watch the launch, among them Irish actor Laurence Kinlan, with the rocket lighting up the night sky.

NASA has since replaced a seal and modified its procedures to avoid thermal shock as much as possible.
