To the Moon and back

Apr 17, 2026 By Miss Known 0 Comment

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. And that’s not even the first time that humans set foot on the Moon. For many generations, this is the first time they are witnessing such an event from our past with their own eyes.

At this point, Andy Weir doesn’t need an introduction. If you read sci-fi, you know who he is. The writer of The Martian is back out in space with his newest novel, Project Hail Mary. The book has already been picked up to be turned into a movie with Ryan Gosling as the protagonist. And while I was looking forward to it, right now, I’m not so much. There’s no way Hollywood can produce a movie as good as this book. The less you know about this novel, the better. The main character wakes up in a spaceship without any recollection of how he got there. To make matters worse, he discovers his two astronaut companions are dead. So, he’s all alone. In space. With no memory. It’s going to be a fun ride to remember it all.
