Launch of Artemis I

Finally we are back at Moonshot after Apollo. The return of lunar exploration is going to give the disadvantaged populations a way to have access to the moon. The moon's discovery is not restricted to men and a specific race. Glad to hear NASA will land the first woman and the person of color on the moon and will continue its scientific discovery on the moon’s surface with advanced technology. As an Asian American, landing on the moon was nearly impossible in the past decades. Thinking back to the initial and modern Space Race, global space development has been advancing as fast as the speed of rockets. I am content and proud to see how far NASA and private companies have come along. It is pivotal to push space discovery missions and diversity in the near future. I have great hopes that one day I will be joining the Moonshot to begin my space journey.
