I am continuing to watch the Artemis II stream and being fascinated by it. As a kid, when I was just beginning to read, I grew up with these popular science books here in Germany called Was ist was¹. They were aimed at young school kids and had lots of great pictures and diagrams. Most other kids were all about the dinosaur books, and while those fascinated me too, I quickly latched on to a number of books about space, especially one that was about the Apollo moon missions. Ever since, I have waited for people to go back to the moon. I must say that I've been very disappointed to wait over 30 years for this, which I had not expected when reading those books as a kid, but now that we’re going back, I am very excited about the whole thing.

And the amazing pictures we are getting back almost make up for the long wait. Some of these would make excellent desktop wallpaper, I feel.
