Really pleased to see this morning's latest on Artemis II quoting two women leaders, Dr. Lori Glaze and Dr. Kelsey Young, both of whom I interacted with in my time there.

In my experience I saw both recognize the seriousness of keeping mission personnel safe throughout their journeys, as well as the vital importance of genuine partnerships with allies.

This is the beacon of hope flying with the Artemis generation.
