This week, the Artemis Moon Mission, the first moon mission in over 50 years, landed safely back on Earth.

On July 20th, 1969, Luke O’Neill was 5 years of age. He remembers vividly watching Neil Armstrong and Edwin (Buzz) Aldrin Jr landing  on the Moon, and that inspired him to become a scientist.

He filled up his copy books, after watching the landing, with rocket ships.

There is a lot to talk about surrounding this mission:

What was the immunology research conducted?

How are astronauts affected by space radiation exposure?

What are the health risks?
