Artemis II Crew Completes Lunar Flyby, Sparking Debate Over Celebration Scope: National Triumph Versus Rectifying Historical Inequities

While the Artemis II mission is, in part, a celebration of diversity, with the first woman and first non-white person to travel around the Moon, it's also important to remember and honor those who got excluded. "That was the greatest moment in my life… Nothing I’ve ever seen before — and probably ever will see again — will compare to that moment."

I love that the Artemis II crew includes the first Canadian to go on a lunar mission, which means that when the on board toilet system developed a fault EVERYONE HAD TO BE POLITE ABOUT IT #Artemis2 #canadians

I feel like Artemis astronaut Christina Koch's statement the other day hasn't gotten the attention it deserves. I love its message of inclusion, compassion, and connection. I'm one of many Americans who sees Artemis' journey as an accomplishment of humanity, not just of the US (and we're sick of US nationalism too). I know the people working on the Apollo mission felt their work was something for all mankind; in fact, I recommend the documentary about it called "For All Mankind", with a soundtrack by Brian Eno. #artemis #ChristinaKoch #ForAllMankind https://mstdn.party/@kbeninato/116360564242552212
