Moonshot

I have to say I'm so excited by everything that's happening with Artemis II, and I'm pleased that a lot of other people seem to be excited too.
I sat up for the launch the other night and it was more exciting that the start of a Super Bowl. I wanted to have Mathew sit up and watch it with me, but Philippa firmly put the block on that one. My argument that it's an historically important project that he could look back on with significant memories fell on deaf ears. "He can sit up and watch it when they land" was her response. I tried to make the case that he's on a break from school for Easter and would therefore be pretty unharmed by the late night, only to be told, "He wants to do an Easter Egg hunt and paint faces on eggshells, he doesn't want to sit up til midnight just to watch a rocket with his dad."
She may have been right, but it would have been nice to share it with him.
