Watching For All Mankind right after the Artemis splashdown is just a one two punch in the gut. I’m not crying you’re crying.

Watching Artemis II splashdown tonight with my daughter was mighty special.

For me. She didn’t give a shit

But she could go to Mars some day. And that’s pretty cool.

Had to capture the moment…my son and I watching the safe and successful Artemis II Orion splashdown of the Integrity capsule. Thank you NASA for bringing us so much moon joy these past ten days! Congratulations to our astronauts - you’ve made history AND made us all a little more proud. 🥹

What a crazy week!!! Monday we all walked around on eggshells not knowing if WW3 would start and nukes would fly. It ended with the amazing re-entry of Artemis and their perfect splashdown which reminded me of watching the Apollo missions on the black and white TV in elementary school.
