I don’t like to share Substack articles, for, well reasons. But this is a great one and really encapsulates what I’ve been feeling for the entire #Artemis2 #ArtemisII experience.
The whole time from launch to splashdown I’ve been feeling pretty emotional about it and I really couldn’t understand why. The just general awe and inspiration I’ve felt from the crew. The sense of wonder and exploration that I’ve not felt since I was a kid. It made me feel insignificant in all the right ways, not in the way that I don’t matter, but in reminding me that the scope of my problems can feel huge and be simultaneously nothing in the grand scheme of things. I didn’t know I needed this mission, but I am coming out of it a better person because of that crew.
To sum the article up, this statement resonated with me the most but I highly recommend reading the entire thing.
the feeling of watching something go right and realizing, somewhere deep in your body, that you had forgotten things could go right. Because when something actually goes right, when the people in charge do their jobs well, speak in full sentences, make decisions that protect people instead of endangering them, the reaction can feel strangely emotional

This is a great summary of why it has been so satisfying to watch humble, distinguished competence in action on this journey. We’re desperate for a reminder of what has and can be in the face of abject, corrupt weaponized stupidity.

So, nun kann ich es ja ganz offiziell machen, und in die Welt hinausposaunen.

Kein nerdiges Git-Repo mehr, mit dem ich das Gros der Menschys vom Mitmachen ausschließe.
Ich hoffe euch gefällt es und ihr seht einen Nutzen für euch darin. Natürlich freue ich mich über euer Feedback sowie konstruktive Kritik. Findet ihr Fehler, dann meldet sie mir.
