Shine On, Artemis Crew

You can tell if you’re old by answering yes to this question: Do you think we just went to the moon and back?

By “we,” I mean stalwart astronauts from North America. (There was one Canadian on board, presumably to make a land acknowledgment when they went around the moon.) If you said “yes, of course,” and you didn’t actually see any of it happen in person, you recall the Apollo program and think, We did it before and we did it again. And you’re not a nut who thinks it was faked before and faked again.
