Inspiration for this podcast:
"Muad'Dib learned rapidly because his first training was in how to learn. And the first lesson of all was the basic trust that he could learn. It's shocking to find how many people do not believe they can learn, and how many more believe learning to be difficult. Muad'Dib knew that every experience carries its lesson."
― Frank Herbert, Dune

Artemis II: Humans Return to the Moon
We decode Artemis II—the first crewed lunar mission since 1972. Over 10 days, Orion Integrity launches on a towering SLS, performs a lunar flyby via the European Service Module, and validates life support, heat shielding, and a crucial manual docking capability. Meet the four-person crew—Reed Wiseman, Victor Glover, Christina Koch, and Jeremy Hansen—and learn why this flyby is the bridge to Artemis III and humanity’s path to Mars.
