Apollo’s impatient old-timers are rooting for NASA’s return to the moon with Artemis II launch

The people who toiled night and day to put astronauts on the moon during Apollo are thrilled that NASA is finally going back. Now in their 80s and 90s, they just wish these Artemis moonshots had happened sooner while more of Apollo’s workforce was still alive. So few of them are left that no reunion is planned to celebrate the upcoming Artemis II flight around the moon with four astronauts. Those who live near Florida’s Kennedy Space Center will watch the launch from their backyards. NASA is targeting the first week in April.
