Watching Artemis launch prep, godspeed Integrity [View all]

On Cspan, live -- As the astronauts are being "seated", my claustrophobia winces. Incredible prep crew, all pieces and parts accounted for. This is going to be a fascinating journey to watch, the launch especially conjuring grainy black and white memories of Alan Shepard and John Glenn.

And I'm trying, with little success, to believe that the timing of trump's speech is not intended to steal some of that attention for himself.
