Artemis splashdown tonight is at 8:07 Eastern and there is something about that specific time being locked in for days that makes it feel like an appointment worth keeping. Parachutes open first. Then the capsule hits the water. The math behind all of it has been done and checked and trusted by people who know what they are doing.

When was the last time something made you stop and gather around to experience it in real time with other people? Not catch it later. Not see the clip. The actual moment, as it happens. Chris Hadfield told CKLW what goes wrong if the reentry angle is off: the capsule either bounces back into space or it doesn't make it through. The people who calculated the right angle did it with math and tonight we find out together whether it held. That specific experience, of finding out together, is rarer than it used to be.

The Four Nations Cup. The 2010 Golden Goal. Election night. Tonight adds to that list.
