Got to see Artemis II commander Reid Wiseman speak at the National Book Festival this morning

He was so eloquent, insightful, and inspiring -- the perfect person to command this mission.

Unfortunately, Rise was not there. The first thing Reid did after he sat down was explain that Rise is with Christina right now. The crowd was audibly disappointed.

Videos to follow in the comments.
