The camera in your pocket was invented because NASA needed smaller ones for interplanetary missions. The mattress you slept on last night was developed to protect pilots in high-impact crashes. The food safety standards that govern every dairy product and piece of seafood you eat were designed to keep three astronauts alive in a sealed capsule.
DearvRudy:this piece told me more about the Science, and engineering, scope of relevance and complete complexity of all things ARTEMIS II. You provided full and various angles of knowledge about this epic journey we had no comprehension about. Thank you for that because the US media was on it a very brief moment, lift off, the astronauts, the first time any human, then return. For a few days. MSNOW did a special but not a deep dive as you've done here. Engineering, long range intent, benefits for mankind and full scentific awareness is important for comprehending the entirety of the space program where this mission is concerned! It's not a waste. It's not a sos, skip it get back to ills of war. We read every word and honestly what we didn't know amazed us both. Again we are thankful beyond measure we signed up for your reports of truth, fact, detailing everything necessary for making or forming a full opinion. About anything.
My appreciation for this piece echoes everything that VCDrake said. It was a joy to read. I come from a "space" family. My dad and my two uncles, all engineers, migrated to Johnson Space Center in the mid '60s. They've all passed now. They supported the Apollo program, Apollo-Soyuz, the International Space Station, and the Shuttle. My late uncle's great-granddaughter currently works at JSC as an engineer, and she was on a support team at the Cape during the Artemis II launch. My grandson says he wants to be a scientist when he grows up, and his room is filled with space-related paraphernalia. Fingers crossed!

I’d hoped you would love it.
I misspoke. My late uncle's granddaughter currently works at JSC, not great-granddaughter.
