Have you been following the news about Artemis I? So far the launch date has been pushed back twice, and now they’re planning for a September 23 launch. Fingers crossed that all goes well on the next attempt.
As a young girl growing up in Southeast Texas, I vividly remember our school field trip to Johnson Space Center in Houston. That was the year of Apollo 13’s flight, and the entire nation was gripped with space fever. When launches were televised during the day, portable televisions were rolled into classrooms so we could watch. Every child in the country wanted to be an astronaut! Although I didn’t make it to NASA as a career, a few classmates eventually worked at Johnson Space Center. Still, my fascination with space continues.
Today’s freebie is a space coloring page for the next generation of would-be astronauts.
