I take special pride in revisiting the trajectory of the moon mainly because I have some family members who have been involved in this endeavor for quite a while now. I cannot wait until the Artemis program is back on the moon and our expansion into deep space and scientific progress is able to continue.

What ties all this greatness together? In a single word collaboration. These astronauts are working for and on a common goal. Giving everything they have got, they’ve accomplished something special and when we all do the same as ordinary people we accomplish something special. When we collaborate we all achieve something extraordinary.

Looking at the earth from far away is nothing short of a miracle come to life. Thanks to the astronauts, technicians, scientists and other personnel who provided us with this awesome view of our planet. We were able to pause from the disturbances upon its surface to look on with wonder. We need to work far more diligently and competently to preserve it.

They were lucky to be picked up after splashdown before the Navy could bomb them as suspected drug smugglers.

Sorry, I just couldn't resist that. It's great that we can still engage in this kind of operation. It requires scientific knowledge and expertise which I admit I don't have as STEM was not my thing in high school and college. And if Trump has his way, no one will have it and if they do, it will be used for developing cheap entertainment.
