Is that page made for under ten year olds?

Artemis DEI crew. What a 'surprise'.

''...features a diverse team intentionally designed to include the first woman (Christina Koch), first black person (Victor Glover), and first Canadian (Jeremy Hansen) on a lunar mission, led by commander Reid Wiseman. This crew represents a major step in promoting diversity in deep space exploration...''

Oh f off Nasa. You didn't include a 'trans'. That's LITERAL GENOCIDE.
No one cares about your 'moon mission' that isn't even landing on the moon.

successful liftoff!!

Waste of money and resources.

Hogwash.

After the technology catches up to the concept, the moon could become a hydrogen refueling station, supply fuel to fly and not fall for a cool landing when shipping the gassy gold back to mother earth and provide a launching pad for the giant solar sails sold to space explorers.

Oppositional climate fanatics on the Left will say, based on the commonly held knowledge that hell has rained down upon the earth due to the irresponsible habit of releasing captive carbon into the pure, clean air that we breathe, now the Drill Baby Drill moon mining business will add to carbon poisoning the unknown effects of meddling humans releasing captive hydrogen into the fragile atmosphere, creating a new reason why the earth is in dire danger due to humans.

Worse, poke a drill hole in the moon and it could take off like an unknotted balloon at a birthday party, causing all kind of problems.

Not from a military and geo-politics perspective. Controlling space is (many say) the next frontier of international struggle.

Going by the comments from online morons (the bulk of humankind) they didn't go anyway. The photos are fake and it's all just another big hoax by NASA (like the fake moon landings) to dupe humanity and realise its dastardly plan for world domination by hiding 'the truth', which is that we are being controlled by lizard aliens who first arrived in the US (where else?) in the 1950s and have been manipulating us and stealing our bodies ever since...

Indeed! It's a somewhat moot point as to where and when we blow ourselves up! First it was the Twilight of the Gods eventually followed by the twilight of the humans. Only then will there be peace.

It deserves a soundtrack...
