Artemis II – completely jaw-dropping incredible, leaves you speechless to see the photos of the back of the moon and of the Earth and you try to get your brain around fact this is the farthest human beings have ever traveled from Earth into space.

Easter egg hunts? To actually have human beings live in Moontown, not on the dark side, please, can you imagine?
