I will not dunk on #Artemis.

Yes, we did this half a century ago with old tech. But then we didn’t, for a very long time. The longest journey starts with a single step, etc.

I watched the launch with my breath held. I watched Challenger live…

I didn’t realize how much faith I’d lost in the ability of any organization to do anything big in the modern age. NASA pulled off the launch; here’s hoping the rest goes well.

@mack505 I'm just old enough to remember Columbia. I was so relieved when the Artemis launch got boring.

@WizardOfDocs I remember watching Columbia. Was old enough to be excited but not apprehensive.
