Commemorative tee marking a once-in-our-lifetime historical coincidence. NASA's Artemis II launched from Kennedy Space Center at 6:24 PM on April 1, 2026, minutes before sundown, the exact moment Pesach 5786 began. The first crewed mission beyond low Earth orbit since Apollo 17 in 1972, lifting off as Jews around the world sat down for the Seder. The ten-day mission to the Moon and back spanned the entirety of the holiday.

The SLS rocket in architectural elevation passes through a round of *shmura* matzah that doubles as the Moon. Because the Moon has always looked like a piece of hand-baked matzah.
