I am sure it is all very noble and exciting and clever etc etc. But I am 80 years old, and every day is a struggle taking in all the just awful news that is everywhere. I take it all onboard, and all the hugely depressing news weighs very heavily on me. I have to choose NOT to worry about specific things because I am worrying about all the other things. I cannot find a place for this Artemis thing. I can't afford to. Born in 1945 I was born at the right time. I have children and grandchildren. I almost want to shuffle this mortal coil sooner than later because I wonder what THEIR lives are going to be like later on. At least I can leave them a bit of money when I go.
So Artemis? I couldn't give a shit. We choose to send people round the moon, but nobody can stop the bloody boats. It's insane.
Yep, well said Mike. To the Moon and beyond!

Well said Mike. Out of all the turmoil and craziness, I think reaching for the stars again and moving forward is something to be proud of.
Excellent uplifting (excuse the pun) piece. Many thanks, Mike.
Happy Easter 🐣 👍💖💖💖💖
Hear hear Mike. 👍
Well said Mike. So much science has come about because of the space race. And really we don’t appreciate it….
The Mike Graham show, a galactic journey to common sense and back via the Moon !
nail hit.. Happy Easter Mike
Did they ever land on the moon in the first place?
I believed it when I was a naive kid but the older I have got the more cynical I have become, especially since the convid nonsense.
