This picture of Astronaut Christina Koch after the Artemis landing is frankly incredible and beautiful.

I can't get out of my mind something a cab driver said to me in Belfast last week:
"There's something about America I can't understand. It's a country with so much potential and so many good people in it. How could such a terrible man get elected twice to run it?'
