Some thoughts on Artemis II in no particular order:

• Whitey's on the Moon
• great achievement
• space, woo!
• Nasa doing what SpaceX can't
• Nasa doing shit despite science-hostile environment
• kind of is "for all mankind"
• props to 'nauts for not taking Trump's call
• heartwarming story of crater naming
• history-making photos as a counterpoint to the craziness of our timeline
