This Earth is also a spinning spaceship. All of us are astronauts. And our oxygen and water are also diminishing. But we have no place to go.
People across the world in 1970 eagerly watching the apollo 13 mission having so much hope for these astronauts, and now 56 years later people are watching the artemis II launch with that same hope. Humanity will always unite for space exploration.
