    Yeah, I'd leave that kind of BS from Musk in the Jackasses forum. He makes a ton BS claims.

    When I was a kid, Saturn had 22 moons and Jupiter had around a dozen. I can see four of Jupiter’s moons with my backyard telescope.

    274 is crazy. With Saturn’s insane gravity and orbit rate too- a full day there only lasts eleven hours, even at its size.

    I can’t believe we’re sending humans back to the fucking moon, and the only place I’ve heard about it in the past day is here.

    Welcome to the shitty Mainstream Media. There's no outrage in Artemis so no eyeballs so no marketing money.

    I imagine they'll do a quick 2 min news break either as it happens or afterwards.

    I’ll find the feed and put it on. My son is big into rockets right now. But I don’t think NASA is gonna say “four-six-blastoff” like he does

    Everyday Astronaut does a great job covering various launches live in a production van that is out of this world. (that’s the guy who’s video I posted earlier).

    Highly recommend.

    Wil Wheaton gets to do this because he was the most annoying character on TNG 30 years ago?

    Edit: Turns out it's not Wil Wheaton.

    Lol. I can see how you’d think that, but this guy is WAY more of a space geek than Wheaton or his characters ever were.
