On the Way Back

Last night the sky was clear, and glancing out my rear window I happened to see a waxing moon rising. My mind did jump to the thought that Artemis I was somewhere out there as well, closing in for its second close pass. Today I happened to see a news item about the capsule completing that pass in my RSS reader; I went to the “official mission weblog” again only to not find that update, so I traced down the news item and found a picture showing something larger than “a small ball in the black void.” The mission is on its way back to Earth, but again this will take more than the familiar three days of the 1960s.
