The reason why the Artemis mission has everyone so fascinated is because it is a showcase for the efforts of people who are very, very good at their jobs, at a time when the news cycle is dominated by people who are not merely terrible at their jobs, but awful human beings as well.
@angusm I was slightly surprised at the recovery method, which required the astronauts to mess around in rubber dinghies rather than have the capsule hoisted aboard a ship as is done for Dragon.
