I don’t like to share Substack articles, for, well reasons. But this is a great one and really encapsulates what I’ve been feeling for the entire
#Artemis2 #ArtemisII experience.
The whole time from launch to splashdown I’ve been feeling pretty emotional about it and I really couldn’t understand why. The just general awe and inspiration I’ve felt from the crew. The sense of wonder and exploration that I’ve not felt since I was a kid. It made me feel insignificant in all the right ways, not in the way that I don’t matter, but in reminding me that the scope of my problems can feel huge and be simultaneously nothing in the grand scheme of things. I didn’t know I needed this mission, but I am coming out of it a better person because of that crew.
To sum the article up, this statement resonated with me the most but I highly recommend reading the entire thing.
the feeling of watching something go right and realizing, somewhere deep in your body, that you had forgotten things could go right. Because when something actually goes right, when the people in charge do their jobs well, speak in full sentences, make decisions that protect people instead of endangering them, the reaction can feel strangely emotional
