Space

I watched a NASA moon launch live last night (UK time). Artemis 2. This mission sends a crewed spacecraft around the moon1 but you probably already knew that.

Cannot remember anything of Artemis 1. Still sinking in that I’m old enough to at least have been alive during the Apollo mission programme. I do not remember any of that either but I am lucky enough to know someone who does.

And as I have the Pale. Blue. Dot. feels right now I’ll go to bed thinking of great things.

  1. I wanted so badly to say “fly” but it just does not sound right somehow. Need to refresh my nerd creds. ↩
