Tell me the moon is full of jalapeños, cheese and shredded pork and I could be persuaded to switch sides.
The pics that are coming out of this mission are simply mind blowing. https://www.nasa.gov/news-release/nasas-artemis-ii-crew-beams-official-moon-flyby-photos-to-earth/
Fun fact, the Canadian in the crew is from my home town here in London, Ontario. You better believe we're all milking that for everything it's worth.
$20 billion builds our lunar base in the next 4 years, but for the military that's a couple F-35s and some Aegis 3s.
Where else are we going to house the AI data centres that will take over the world? It's almost like it was preordained.
No kidding. This was not the time to have anything go any kind of wrong. We all needed a solid win in the books.
If the biggest problem they had was downed comms while they're waiting in the water, that's amazing. Good joint mission between US and CA. Every other space program in shambles. Also, this being a successful run probably puts the actual moon landing mission in full view.
