    Honestly, I didn’t know Artimus was happening. That’s how busy the news is. I saw memes about astronauts and Outlook, assumed it was the ISS, and only when I saw the pictures of the Earth from the moon was I like “Wait, what? We have humans going to the moon right now? And they’re already there? When did that happen?”

    They’re living out their dreams, and doing something very rare for our species, and I wouldn’t recognize them if they were in line in front of me at the grocery store. Huh.

      I think it’s *Artemis. And II, specifically. This mission was the farthest any known human has been from Earth. They’re doing several more in the Artemis line, including putting boots on the moon (2029, I think)

      The space race is back.
