I don't know if you've heard, but humans actually landed on the surface of the moon for the first time in July 1969.
We walked on its surface, left a flag there, made some timely comments and brought back rocks.
Cool, huh?
I remember watching the moonwalk at my grandparents' house when they moved their television outside.
I get the feeling that incredible achievement has been forgotten - or seriously glossed over.
Check the history books; it's all there.
Landing on the moon in 1969, now that was worth getting excited about! Flying past the moon in 2026? Ho hum.
Yeah, the Artemis II astronauts left Earth's orbit and went further into space than any other humans before them, but all this pandemonium and astonishment for that? We walked on the moon for the first time 57 years ago. By now, I would have thought we had the technology to reach the moon in a day or two, not a whole ten days just to fly around it.
Get real.
The whole Artemis II thing seems seriously overhyped - or I'm just seriously over-jaded.
Wake me up when we get to Mars.
