Yes, NASA are allowing you to download some of the amazing

images from Artemis II and use them as wallpaper on your phone.

So on my phone now, I have in the foreground, the dark side of the moon and then off in the distance, the Earth setting.

And it's a spectacular, it's a spectacular image.

And the more images I see from Artemis II, I'm drawn back to Samantha Harvey's book.

Jenny mentioned it the other day.

orbital and it's her description of the views from the International Space Station for somebody who's never been up there are brilliant I tell you what I do I don't have it to hand because it's in Kate's room and she's still asleep she's reading it at the moment I'll get it and I'll read you maybe

a paragraph or two from it tomorrow.

One of the big things, of course, is we're constantly reminded that there are no borders.

You can't see any borders in space.

Of course you can't.

We grew up with the globe and all the countries painted differently and all the borders clearly demarcated and in heavy black ink.

And of course, that's not the way it is.

They're all man-made.

They're all man-made.

And that's why we're in the middle of a very dangerous war at the moment because of geopolitical stresses, which have been going on for hundreds and hundreds of years.

And why can't we just imagine?

Imagine, yes, like the song.

Imagine there's no countries.

Yeah, imagine if you can.
