Artemis II for Yuri's Night

Happy Yuri's Night AKA International Day for Human Space Flight! As I have since 2019, I'm sharing updates on the progress of Artemis. Today, I have a successful mission to report. Watch CBC News summarize The Artemis II mission in 3 minutes.

From blastoff, to the first lunar orbit in 53 years, to splashdown, CBC News breaks down the biggest moments of the historic Artemis II mission in three minutes.

I wrote "I'm looking forward to Artemis II next year" in 2025 in space from ESA, KING 5, Business Casual, and the Marsh Family. It's next year and Artemis II happened just in time for Yuri's Night. Perfect timing!

Neil deGrasse Tyson and Chuck Nice examined the contest for the Artemis program in The Missions Bringing Us Back to the Moon.

Why are we going back to the moon with the Artemis Missions? Neil deGrasse Tyson and Chuck Nice explore the history of our trips to the moon during the Apollo Missions and why the US is finally going back.

Tyson and Nice were as entertaining as they were informative. They explained why we went to the Moon in the first place, why we're returning now, and how both Apollo and Artemis worked. Good work and funny, too!

Speaking of funny, I'm closing with Artemis II - SNL.

A group of astronauts (Colman Domingo, Mikey Day, Marcello Hernández, Sarah Sherman) give updates on their moon mission.

Snork! I couldn't resist either Saturday Night Live or Emmy winner Colman Domingo, so of course I embedded an SNL segment featuring Domingo, especially about space.

That's a wrap for Yuri's Night, when I celebrate the promise of space. Now stay tuned for Apophis Day, when I report on the perils of space.
