It was a
New Space Age themed night tonight at my place!
The family has arrived in SD for a week-long Easter vacation, including the nephews who have been geeking out on the Artemis live feed on the NASA channel on YouTube. I am forever disappointed with how weak and ineffective Disney's ownership of the National Geographic Society has been, as National Geographic was chosen to document this entire Artemis moon shot mission and save it for national archives.
Why doesn't Disneyland and WDW have National Geographic displays in Tomorrowland about Artemis and NASA's return to the moon?!?
I must say, I am SO IMPRESSED with this quartet of astronauts we sent way out there! They are sent from Central Casting; they look so fit and healthy, so clean-cut and happy, so pitch-perfect for great PR, that NASA should be commended for choosing them. I went to the NASA store this afternoon to order Artemis II t-shirts or sweatshirts for the family, but of course they're already all sold out of anything with Artemis branding on it.
Doh! 
Tonight we watched President Trump speak to the Artemis crew live, and it was fabulous. The Canadian astronaut did such a fabulous job representing his country, and his comments were so gracious and kind!
The lady astronaut is a bit of a goofball, and I love her! All four of them are just
perfect ambassadors for NASA and our country's space exploration! Bravo, NASA, the Artemis II crew has taken their moment and made it even more impactful!
Dare I say it, they remind me of what Disneyland CM's used to look/act like in the 20th Century before standards were eroded and abandoned; clean-cut, friendly, healthy, fit, charming, and
fun! They even know how to smile!
As if that weren't enough for one night, Elon Musk shot off another SpaceX rocket from Vandenbergh Space Force Base tonight just after sundown, at the perfect time to leave a stardust trail across SoCal for 250 miles from Santa Barbara to San Diego.
We ooh'ed and aah'ed at it with the neighbors here in La Jolla! I bet it looked fabulous over Disneyland tonight too!
For Artemis IV when they land back on the moon, Disneyland simply
MUST do something in Tomorrowland to celebrate and educate all about our return to the moon!
Hope everyone is doing well!!!!

). The WDFM always has these wonderful talks and events with lots of Disney royalty. I think the Jungle Book exhibition gala with Andreas Deja and some of the living cast members and artists who worked on it was my all time most treasured.
