Is anybody else as jazzed as I am about the Artemis missions? The Apollo missions are some of my earliest memories. I was 6 when Apollo 17 landed, and I remember seeing it on TV, and I was amazed (still am, actually) at how people were walking around "up there". It instilled in me an interest in space and science, and I think it can do that for other kids today.
My wife asked me once if I had the chance, would I take a seat on a flight into space, knowing the risks. I just said, "Are you kidding? it's not even a question. I'd go without having to think about it." She seemed surprised, but how could anyone pass up an experience like that?
I'm not usually a fan of government spending on this scale, but DAMN, I just find this stuff really inspiring. God knows we all need some inspiration right now.
