I will be both happy and sad to see it over. It was quite a ride! Already can't wait for Artemis III!

@murdoc I was _real nervous_ about this and I'm banking my sense of relief until they're safely down but this mission appears to have gone _pretty well_ and it's a big relief to see it.

I was a little nervous at times too, but I tried to remind myself that that is why the did Artemis I first, and why they are doing II before attempting landing again. Also seeing some of the crazy levels of prep they do before and even during the mission helped (not really being crazy at all, quite the opposite, but seemingly if you're not used to it). So like I said, quite a ride!

@murdoc I know how it works - I also know how many problems this programme has had, and not just the most recent public ones. I _very much want_ all this to have worked out - I'm just well aware of how troubled this whole hardware development cycle has been.
