Our new world is so close

sorcyressWe will go to space today!
I'm rewatching the last T-3minutes of the NSF stream, mostly because I really want to hear the guy shout "LET'S GO TO THE MOON!!" again, because that was so charming! Of all of this, that was the part that made me most gleeful, hearing his glee!
I smiled so hard my face nearly started hurting, starting maybe at T-30seconds? Crying too, obviously, I have been crying on and off this entire afternoon as I watch different parts of the stream.
I'm sad Grandpa Perks didn't get to see us go back. I'm distraught ShadowKev didn't live long enough to get to appreciate a manned moon launch. He, at least, lived through one in the past. It's my first.
I'm thirty-six and a half years old, and it's the first time I've ever gotten to watch us launch our way to and towards and around the moon. We're not even landing on it yet (sounds like Artemis IV is aiming for 2028) but it's far and away the closest we've come in fifty-four years.
My favourite-least-favourite-favourite xkcd comic is 65 Years. It is fantastic to think that it's going to be wrong.
We will go to space today. And tomorrow. And next year and the year after. And again and again, over and over again. Somebody will, someday.

MOOP!
