The past few weeks have been very exciting for anyone with a slight interest in space news. The Artemis II mission successfully sent four astronauts to orbit the Moon for the first time in over 50 years. Everything, from the launch to the safe return to Earth, was live-streamed on YouTube. And it’s just crazy to think that I can be sitting on my couch watching views in real time over 384 thousand kilometres away. But truly, the best part is witnessing something I’ve only read about, watched movies, or seen pictures. The last Moon mission was so long ago that my parents were mere babies when it happened.

Author: David Levithan and Rachel Cohn Publisher: Mira Ink Year: 2014 Pages: 309 I feel the time between Christmas and New Year’s to be the weirdest. You are just hungover from all the food you eat on the past two days and when you finally think you already took everything out of your system is New Year’s Eve.
