I haven’t been sleeping that well recently and got up ridiculously early this morning, for me at least. I’m now very pleased that I was though, because I turned the news on just in time to watch the Artemis launch. It cheered me up instantly: today marks the beginning of humanity’s return to the moon! Being into space exploration, it thrills me to see that sort of thing. It is an initial, unmanned mission, but All being well, it won’t be long before we’re watching people walk on the moon for the first time in over sixty years (although we can already expect fools to start saying it didn’t actually happen pretty soon afterwards). I find the prospect of that thrilling, as well of the prospect of humanity one day going even further, perhaps to Mars. Today thus marks the start of something awesome, and I’m glad I was up in time to see it.
