Tragic! As well as when JFK was assassinated in 1963.

All the hype around Artemis II has me skeptical.
Space is a dangerous place. Always wanted to see a Saturn V launch, never happened. Starship launch is on my bucket list.
Read the audio transcript of the Apollo 1 tragedy. Those poor guys! Spaceflight (even testing) is not always fun.
I'm fortunate enough to remember the first moon landing. The Artemis II will be something I will look forward to watching next month even if it's not a moon landing.
