For a few moments yesterday, the only focus was on Artemis II. Watching the coverage of the first moon launch in over 50 years provided echoes of the child-like wonder and amazement that prevailed when the Apollo program was in high gear back in the early 1970s.
I wasn’t thinking about current events, though I did momentarily succumb to imagining how Trump would try to make this achievement all about him. That thought was banished temporarily as we learned all systems were Go and a spectacular launch commenced.
It was a nice break from the avalanche of glaring incompetence that usually occupies so much of our time and attention.
