MOON JOY

I don't know about you, but I am absolutely enthralled and in awe of NASA's Artemis II mission which is currently wrapping up a 10-day manned mission around the Moon! It's all I've been thinking about for days, and I'm genuinely overcome with hope and the authentic human urge to explore. With everything horrible happening in the world lately, with evil men dictating whether whole civilizations live or die, the Artemis II mission has been an immensely beautiful balm for my brain. Seeing 4 astronauts laugh, cry, hug, and find joy in space while going further than any human has gone from Earth before has truly brought me happiness and enthusiasm for our future. The phrase "moon joy" has been coming up all over the internet as it sums up the overwhelming feelings that the astronauts are experiencing as they view our Moon from new angles, and I think we could all use some more moon joy right now. This colorway is inspired by some of the new photos of the Moon (which are color enhanced to show different mineral deposits on the lunar surface).
