With the mission of Artemis complete, I was thinking of these pictures they took.
From where we are all reading this, planet earth is extremely enormous. We can get in a car and drive 60 mph for several hours and still only cover a very tiny part of it.
However, viewed from the images below from the Artemis crew helps us to put our planet into more cosmic context.
It's almost impossible to completely appreciate how tiny of a speck that we are in the universe. How amazingly incredible that life even exists here because of the freaky physical, scientific, chemical, biological circumstances that all had to line up perfectly compared the rest of the universe which features lifeless space with a bunch of rocks in it.

And it's so much more than just "life" on our planet.
The advanced forms of life, so many different varieties are mind boggling. With humans at the top evolving to a stage now where we can travel in space.
Discover/invent hundreds of thousands of things that have improved our lives more in the last 150 years, then the previous 15,000 years of humanity. And 15,000 years was a blink compared to the 4,500,000,000 year old earth.
Everybody reading this has only lived in the past 100 years of that 4,500,000,000 years. The best years for advancement of human beings.
100 / 4.5 billion = 2.22222222 x 10-8
=.0000000022 That's eight 0s.
That's the fraction of time that the lives of the oldest humans on our plant right now represent.
If we go back in time by just .00000001 of the earth's age (that's seven 0s), humans on this planet struggled every day just to survive. They thought the sun revolved around the earth and the earth was flat.
From that perspective, 2026 looks like heaven on earth!!!

Grateful that we have democratic elections in this country and there are less than 200 days until the November 2026 elections.
All 400+ seats in the House will be in play but just 33 of the 100 seats in the Senate.
