Artemis II is returning to Earth after sending humans farther from Earth than ever before in history.
Artemis II traveled around the Moon and lost contact (it was planned for) with NASA for a brief period.
Extraordinary accomplishment in human history.
And as i type this (4:25pm April 7, 2026) we are three hours and 35 minutes from our President’s Iranian-peace-deal deadline.
The work-side of me can focus on a grand picture of Earth in an infinite cosmos.
Incomprehensible.
And we are infinitesimal.
Everything we know about Earth and our Milky Way Galaxy…
i have come to learn through science, that we are so blessed, so extraordinary.
But we are the center of nothing.
If Earth disappeared, the cosmos continues, unaltered, uncaring, unaware.
Carl Sagan is intriguing me in a way similar to Jesus, Gandhi, MLK, Mother Theresa, Stephen Hawking, Neil deGrasse Tyson, and Sheldon Cooper.
Praying now that when i wake up tomorrow (April 8, 2026, 5:00am) our Earth isn’t ‘on-fire’.
