he is such a cool man and i would consider him to be a superhero. his life is like a movie. i really hope he is on that first lunar landing mission. he comes from such a humble background. he is not from a rich family at all. he embodies the american dream.

Am I the only person who thinks this is a bad idea? The moon has a certain mass that our planet uses for its tides and shit. Building stuff there seems like a stupid fucking idea

To effect the moon in any way would required building on a scale that we cant imagine. In any case, most of the stuff we build with would come from the moon itself, so no change in mass.

This is a phenomenal thing for the USA. Onwards and upwards

artemis program is pretty fucking awesome. and the best part is it has bipartisan support. we'll have the ISS through at least 2030 for all the 'muh global warming' retards who can use the ISS for earth remote sensing experiments. the 'global warming' retards want us to not do anything on the moon or even like medium earth orbit where the views of the earth are amazing because they want to waste money on overpriced 'global warming' satellites when the ISS is perfectly suited for that like the OCO-3.

Yep.. lol. Or "Muslim Outreach" courtesy of Obama...

Did you see the SpaceX test yesterday? Incredible stuff. They had an engine failure 2 seconds before touchdown but it did a belly first dive before coming to a controlled landing deceleration.

That ending was not nominal at all haha.

The rest of the flight was perfect though!

nah. lunar bases are awesome. it will only be at the lunar south pole, btw, because of a lot of water ice on the south pole that isn't found anywhere else on the moon. and it would take millions of years of us settling every square inch of the moon before we do anything that would shift the tide. worry more about asteroids and the sun affecting us and the moon before worrying about our effect on the moon, especially the next 25 years. we will at best have bases no larger than those mysterious antarctica bases we and many other countries have that don't have more than 10 people in each base.

doing apollo type of only a handful of landings and then leave for another 50 years isn't the way to go. also you got people bitching about us being in low earth orbit since 1973 after apollo 17 (i don't mind low earth orbit...i love the space shuttle era and the International Space Station. the shit our astronauts learn by building the ISS and mastering low earth orbit helps prepare us mightily for the moon and beyond)
