For your coffee chat: Expect splashdown around 12:30 p.m. EST on Sunday, December 11th. But have a backup plan. Maybe set your DVR for the livestream. Or better yet, just follow along on your phone while pretending to do laundry.
Also, don’t forget: this is the first time in 50 years a human-rated capsule is splashing down from the Moon. That’s not just a cool trick. That’s history. And history, as you know, loves to keep us waiting just a little bit longer.
So pour another cup, refresh the page, and enjoy the dramatic tension. Artemis will hit the water eventually. And when it does, the world will let out a collective “finally”—right before we start obsessing over the next mission.
