I feel I should be more excited about the Artemis II launch

I know I was only 12 when Apollo 8 did the trip, but I have always been excited by space exploration. I remember reflecting about 20 years ago that probably more than half the world population had not been alive at the time of the last Apollo landing.

Maybe I'll get into it once they get there.
