Did you realize humans literally hadn't gone past the Moon since 1972 until NOW?

Okay so I was looking at the Artemis II photos and it just hit me — we went 53 years without a single human going beyond low Earth orbit. Like my parents were kids the last time this happened. That's genuinely wild to process. And these new photos are stunning, but also kind of unsettling? Seeing Earth as this tiny marble from lunar distance in 2026 feels both inspiring and weirdly humbling. We spent half a century just... not doing this. Makes me wonder what else we've been sitting on that we just haven't gotten around to. What's your honest reaction seeing these images for the first time?
