I LIKE a moon mission as much as the next man, but even I thought the coverage of Artemis’s recent lunar trip was a bit excessive (Comment, 10 April; News, 17 April). Don’t misunderstand me. I am in awe of the physical, emotional, and technical strengths of astronauts who endure conditions that would reduce me to jelly. But I was also aware of how the coverage was essentially an antidote to all our other, somewhat grimmer, sublunary news.
