NASA’s Artemis mission is like our generation’s great frontier story, picking up right where the Apollo days left off. This isn't just about planting a flag and heading home; it’s about building a real home-away-from-home on the Moon so we can eventually kick up some dust on Mars. Just this past April, the Artemis II crew took that giant leap, swinging around the far side of the Moon and looking back at Earth from further away than any human ever has. It’s a powerful reminder that while we’ve got our feet on the ground, our hearts are still wired to wander and wonder what’s over that next lunar hill.
