Preparing for our return to the moon in coming years (it’s about time), the recently completed Artemis 1 mission successfully made unmanned moon-flybys with the Orion space capsule, which was just recovered from the Pacific ocean. Artemis 2 will see manned moon-flybys, and Artemis 3, humanity’s return to the moon for a week-long vacation from earth (that sounds nice). This is a video of Artemis 1’s entire 25-day journey condensed like a soup into just 60 seconds. And if that was too brief for you, I also included a much longer 25-minute video of all the highlights. Space — it’s time to get excited again! But not too excited. Like don’t hang a moon poster on the ceiling above your bed and fall in love with it or anything.

Thanks to my dad, who agrees it’s only a matter of time now until we discover the martian’s hidden moon base.
