Return to the Moon

It was with extreme pride in the United States that on April 1, 2026, I watched on television the launch of Artemis II headed for the moon. I was present on Johnston Atoll in 1969, fifty-seven years ago, when the Apollo 11 astronauts returned to the Pacific Ocean following their walk on the moon. I wrote about that experience in a blog post on July 29, 2019. Scroll down through the Archives section (on the righthand side of this website) to reach July 2019 and you will find that post.
