GODSPEED ARTEMIS 2!
There were many reasons this launch was special for me but the added bonus of watching this launch surrounded by many people who have spent years working together and getting to this point in the Artemis campaign. They watched with pure passion, raw emotion, and most notably with anxious optimism… I heard cheers and sighs of relief , saw tears, plenty of high fives and hugs. All were certainly celebrating a successful and safe launch, but hanging on and watching long after it was visible to make sure certain milestones were passed before they could relax a little and take in this huge step forward for the human race. Godspeed Reid, Christina, Victor and Jeremy. We’ll see you soon and you can bet we will be following your trip and look forward to a safe return home. Again, I couldn’t have asked for better hosts than the Schuh family- Thank you for inviting me to join you to view from KSC. Above everything else, it was truly inspiring to see you so passionate for what you have done and continue to do for the Artemis Campaign. This also goes out to my many friends in Houston that had a hand in this successful launch- Thank you for helping humankind move one step further. This wouldn’t have happened without any of you!
