These are the faces of the #Artemis generation.




"Best day of my whole life. Ever." We surprised students visiting @NASAKennedy with a close-up view of the @NASAArtemis I rocket and spacecraft that will fly to the Moon. These are the faces of the #Artemis generation.

I am visiting St. Augustine this weekend and it's not that far from Cape Canaveral - I wonder if I could see it launch?!?

I saw the shuttle take off a couple of times from 14 miles away, it was totally silent at that distance.

This one might be worth driving down for.

Many years ago (I think 2011?) I threw my three little kids (now adults) in my minivan and drove up to Cape Canaveral to see that last launch of space shuttle Discovery, they still talk about that day!

There is no way to tell how huge that building is until you are inside it.
