The discovery of aliens would not render faith ridiculous, writes Nick Spencer. 15/05/2026
“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. 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.”
