A poem to try to express my feelings about the Artemis II. And it still doesn't do me justice.

Our only Moon.
Few have been to you, fewer around.
But we dream of you.
We speak to your existence as if it’s love itself.
“I love you to the moon and back.”
“I love you to the moon and beyond.”
But we don’t need to say “I love you” to get the point across.
Instead, we make hearts.
“Copy Heart.”
We point to bracelets.
“Copy Bracelet.”
We use hyperbole.
“Copy moon joy.”
We name bright spots.
“And you spell that, C-A-R-R-O-L-L.”
As she falls away from our view.
As she follows her twins' footsteps.
We watch with bated breath.
And we rise.
Higher than we ever have before.
Because love is not just the moon.
But the moon is love.
And Love is humanity.
-Thank you, Victor, Christina, Jeremy, and Reid
Actually have tears I'm so glad that Integrity is finally home safe and sound, and the astronauts are in green condition! These past ten days have been amazing to experience, the love of everyone for each other and for our moon <3
Copy heart, copy bracelet!
I need those astronauts to land soon because I cannot keep crying about every little tidbit of their mission.
It's just not a sustainable system.
