Can't recall ever seeing a photo of vehicles on 39A and 39B simultaneously. Very neat shot, but aren't they kind of asking for trouble to launch something on 39A while 39B is occupied? God forbid, it would be terrible if there was a mishap with Ax-1 given it could result in loss of life, but it could also damage Artemis. I realize it's not easy moving those rockets to and from the launch pad but I'm surprised they wouldn't have waited on one or the other. It's not like there's anything mission critical about Ax-1. Quite the opposite I believe, since it's not even a NASA crew!
