From one of the ground staff for Artemis: https://bsky.app/profile/captnamy.bsky.social/post/3mi36brfw...

"1968 and the country was on fire. Vietnam. Assassinations. Civil unrest. Protests.

Apollo 8 was the one bright event of a terrible year.

2026 and the country is on fire. Iran. Corruption. Fascists. Civil unrest. No Kings.

I hope Artemis II will stand out as a bright spot for our country."

That was indeed quite a year. The Rest is History podcast on it was quite good.
