The Artemis II crew, Commander Reid Wiseman, Pilot Victor Glover, Mission Specialist Christina Koch, and Canadian Space Agency astronaut Jeremy Hansen have completed their 10-day journey that took them farther into space than any humans since Apollo. Amazing success.

Well done. Well overdue. This system was nearly ready for flight in 2009.
Obama BEFORE the election:
Obama AFTER the election:
Robert Costa: “I just have to say, pretty bluntly here, that we’ve been [to the moon] before,” Obama declared in front of an eerily quiet NASA audience. …When he spoke at the Kennedy Space Center during the run-up to the 2008 election, Obama vowed to protect the jobs of the facility’s workers before an audience that included them; not a single space worker was invited to attend yesterday’s speech.
Obama’s is a stunted vision, and one that deliberately scales back the horizon for Western man, leaving the Chinese and Russians as de facto kings of the cosmos. Though the president believes that he’s smartly tossing a cumbersome program into the bin, along with its cowboy ethos, he forgets that astronauts are more than overpaid automatons of the state — they’re heroes, men whose adventures are an instrumental part of America’s own. The president looks at moondust and sees dirt.” …….
If it was a Crescent Moon, he’d go there.
The last man on the Moon–Gene Cernan: “Always Shoot for the Moon” – Airport Journals
“Never has there been a more exciting time to be alive, a time of rousing wonder and heroic achievement. As they said in the film Back to the Future, ‘Where we’re going, we don’t need roads.'”–Ronald Reagan
“Always”
Rest in the Vine: “1972 Called: It Wants Its Heroic Spirit Back.” Gene Cernan’s Story
“If it was a Crescent Moon, he’d go there.”
LOL. Very good. That one almost made me spit my coffee in mid sip.
Somebody else said it soundly- Kennedy put a man on the moon, Obama put a Trans in a bathroom.
And let’s not forget Obama’s redirection of NASA as an “outreach to the Muslim world”. It was more than just talk. $$$ spent (laundered), a new department (whose head reported directly to Hillary Clinton), and a “policy” which crippled space exploration for decades:
https://www.meforum.org/islamist-watch/obamas-treacherous-redirection-of-nasas-vision
There was a muslim/Arab female astronaut on Fox News.. Now I know where she came from.
Reading your post reminded me of how much Obama hates America and the contrast with Tump’s love of our country. It is amazing how much can be accomplished when seeking to do good.
It was riveting watching all of this and the remarkable talent involved. I simply cannot wrap my mind around 25,000 mph nor 5,000 degrees upon re-entry. Crazy!
It was amazing. I can’t wait to watch them walk on the moon in a few years! All of us born in the 80s never got the experience!
They already did apparently. This was so fake looking for something real.
I work Nukes, the Van Allen Radiation is impassable.
AI is great when it’s 4 frames/sec
Artemis I flew nearly the same profile through the belts with instrumented dummies. Time through the belt was less than an hour each way. In a very worst case solar coronal mass ejection event, the shielding on Orion would limit exposure to 250 mSv max. More likely it was on the order of a CT scan on this flight. Mars is a whole ‘nother ball game and right now there is no answer. Once they get to the moon, though, there is plenty of shielding available.
Total Boondoggle, MARS. We don’t live in deserts for a reason. No matter where. KORANDERTHALS do.
July 20, 1969, landed. Walked on the moon a day later.
Nor can those of us born in the 40s :).
Born in the 40s, I clearly remember Neil Armstrong’s walk on the moon – Camping the Adirondacks and listening to the audio on a transistor radio. Wonder of all wonders.
As a youngster, I knew all of the Mercury 7 astronauts by name, rank, branch of service, flight hours logged, etc.
Same with Gemini and Apollo.
Saw Apollo 11 in person on the launchpad.
12,13,14,15,16,17.
Then, it stopped.
Watergate.
Arab oil boycotts.
The Presidential resignation.
The fall of Saigon.
The Peanut Farmer.
The turning inward.
The momentum, the enthusiasm, was gone.
Whether
Skylab,
Apollo-Soyuz,
the Shuttle,
or the ISS (who remembers it briefly called
‘Alpha’??)
it wasn’t the same.
11 years after the first orbiting satellite, 8 years after the first orbiting human, we were on the moon.
And then for the next 54 years we stayed in near-earth orbit.
A half-Century of staying in ‘our own backyard’.
Now, a close facsimile
of Apollo 8.
Maybe we will have a permanent manned lunar base.
Maybe we will have a man land on Mars.
But for me, the confident expectation that Mankind would continue to push the boundaries of exploration, is no longer certain.
I can foresee a half-hearted effort, culminating in a pullback from nearly all space exploration… if politicians such as Mamdani and AOC gain further power and influence.
Those schmucks can barely add 2+2.
And have Phds in pandering.
Rome fell – and the world entered a Dark Age.
It can happen again.
Hope for the best –
Prepare for the worst.
What a great kickoff to the country’s semiquincentennial (aka 250th year celebration)!
People in this country who can never think of anything positive to say about America (while enjoying the benefits of life here) should take a step back and allow themselves one moment to reflect on what it really means for a country to be exceptional.
America – God shed His grace on thee.
J
Also – how excellent is our VSGPDJT’s timing?
I can’t imagine it was accidental that this brilliant American achievement came to the fore during the Iran Excursion. ☺️
“Excursion”? Don’t you mean “Incursion”?
“Incursion?” Don’t you mean “Very just war that should have been done long ago but wasn’t because none of our previous presidents had the balls to do it?”
God bless President Trump. Now let’s finish the job.
A very just war in defense of the entire planet!
All of humanity was under threat by the suicidal Iranian madmen who intended to sow chaos, death and destruction worldwide.
Agreed. The ayatollaholes declared war on America in 1979, hijacked our Tehran embassy for over a year, and killed our peacekeeping Beirut Marines in 1983. The Trumpster is the only president who was willing to crush these evil barbarians. Shades of the barbary pirates and Thomas Jefferson. Unless the remaining ayatollaholes diplomatically surrender to us unconditionally within the next week, we need to quickly finish the job kinetically. The Persian people are with us.
One day, in the not too distant future… parents will be worried when their kids are out flying around in that old Model-T of space transport.
Looks just like Apollo pick up.
Thank you, God, for their safe return. 🙏🏻🙏🏻
That photo appears to be AI. I watched the whole splashdown and that photo never happened.
The “front porch” is far too small and there were always many additional people on it other than the astronautsThe balloons in the water were never in the water, only on top of the capsule by the time the astronauts were taken away in the helos.The top of the capsule isn’t correct.The balloons in the water had white straps or something on them, not clean like thisThe stabilization collar is missing. It was there before the astronauts came out and was there when they were taken away by helo.They were never in the front of the capsule, only on the side by the door, then moved away awaiting pickup by the helos.The thrusters under the windows are not correctThere are metal tubes going in the thrusters behind the balloons? lolwut
There’s more… but that’s enough. If AI photos are going to be used, it should be stated as such.
We are through the looking glass now, in a post-truth, post-trust world.
It was already moving in that direction, AI sealed it.
Concur, very cheesy AI pic. Any idea who released it?
Yeah, I watched the entire thing too and that pic is all sorts of AI wrong. I think you hit every problem with it.
There are some actual pics of the day over at the NASA website.
https://www.nasa.gov/artemis-ii-multimedia/#images
I’m curious as to where SD picked this one from.
Sorry about block of text, it lost the formatting. It was all bulleted nicely into line items but I didn’t do it correctly so it smashed it all together.
Also noticed that Jeremy Hansen doesn’t have much a pinky finger. Unless he unnaturally bent it over and somehow kept the other fingers straight.
Might be a file photo from one of the training exercisses.
But, who really cares? It’s the symbolism. I noticed immediately the female’s hair looked too darn good …but WHO CARES!!
Everyone should care because someday a photo will appear that presents YOU in an unfavorable or incorrect way and I think you will care then.
Should be a federal law. “Anything generated by AI, to include study results, words, audio, images, operation or functional capabilities, and product development or design, must be clearly labeled as such, and no person or electronic system may portray any of the aforementioned without the original AI content notification label designated as yellow triangle with “AI’ within.”
Make it law now!
Yes, the image is suspicious because the balloons had some trident or tulip like white markings on both sides of them that do not show up, among other reasons you mention.
I agree. I watched the whole thing. It took them 2 hours + to get them out of the capsule. That’s ridiculous. Spacex missions got them out right away. They need to work on that recovery.
Rakija~~
Great catch.
It never happened.
This younger generation doesn’t believe in Santa.
When they see what can be done these days with an iPhone and then they download video and “images” from the actual gov sites and take them apart with todays software, they rightfully are skeptical non-believers.
NASA, protecting its $80 million taxpayer per week boondoggle at all costs.
It’s actually not even the biggest lie.
That one goes back to The Bible and when it finally becomes safe enough to address that one, all the rest make sense.
True.
Until a few months ago, I ‘assumed’ most images purporting to be photographs were just that.
My wife showed me how easy it was for her to take pictures of our family… and change backgrounds, seasons, positions, etc.
Now, I look at supposed ‘photographs’ and unless there is some certification it’s real, I assume the opposite.
The one problem AI hasn’t learned how to
resolve, is that its ‘photos’ are either
All too perfect
or
Have an incongruence, such as a person with
3 arms
or something similar.
Unless someone can definitively Show that photo is authentic,
I’m not sure it is, either.
PRAISES!
A Safe & Complete Journey granted
by our ALMIGHTY GOD!
Continued BLESSINGS!
As the post-splashdown recovery crew slowly struggled to gain control of the capsule, I couldn’t help laughing that this last portion of the journey was the weakest link. The floating capsule was treated about as well as a Southwest Airlines 737 upon early arrival at BWI; “sorry, no gates are available yet.”
Yesterday I commented elsewhere that we must never forget the hostility of the Communist DEMS toward any kind of American achievements in anything.
Their RINO allies are just as bad!
Back in the 1960’s and 1970’s and beyond, the so-called anti-poverty groups (led by the “Reverend” Ralph Abernathy) protested against the Apollo Missions, and later the Space Shuttles, wanting “poverty to be solved first” and all outer space research money ended in favor of hand-outs.
Sure, let our enemies (today especially the Communist Chinese) be dominant over us in the ultimate out-flanking maneuver, Outer Space!
Never forget MAObama’s lies and hostility, and the years 2021-2024, with their the lack of any progress under the usurped, illegal “presidency” of The Manchurian Marionette.
That America went basically nowhere in outer space for c. 50 years – is among the many sins of our RINOS as well as The Communists. Yes, the Space Shuttle had its benefits, but never did what it was supposed to do (have regular flights almost monthly) and the “International Space Station” (and why did it have to be “international”? We know the answer!) has added to our knowledge of long-term weightlessness.
But almost 50 years with no Moon missions?
And if the Chinese do end up with any kind of Moon project, we should expect to see our stolen or sold technology aiding them!
The NASA mission certainly used Chinese tech and components.
China supplies key electronic components and rare earths, among other things. No way for the US to function without.
Open da eyes.
My eyes are open, and their involvement is precisely the problem!!!
Isn’t it fascinating how US elites aided the Chinese seizing industry from the US over the last several decades?
Greed and corruption.
And now, here we are.
Even if the US competencies had not been decimated by the collapse of the family, education, industry, and meritocracy, thanks to social engineering started by The Civil Rights Act of 1964, it would still take decades to restore US industry – at best, if there were no serious competition from China et al.
But now? Ain’t gonna happen.
Meanwhile, the Chinese have moved on from simply copying, they are now innovating. And their product quality is as good or better than the US now, overall.
They have four times the US population and are minting scientists and engineers far faster than the US. And based on what I’ve seen of US higher education, better educated too.
Agree about the problem, but the US did it to itself. Just like most other decline mechanisms.
American companies were taxed and regulated out of the country.
It wasn’t any greedier on the part of business than other businesses that stayed.
Business is business. There is no emotion. Corporations have a LEGAL DUTY to their stockholders which doesn’t include losing money for patriotic or sentimental reasons.
The Lib/commie/dems created that giant sucking sound while BJ was getting a BJ.
Actually, the outsourcing binge took off under elderBush, who thought he was a know-it-all about the chicoms and the “new world order.” FelderBush and all of his uniparty friends.
Yes, have you seen where 8 or 9 of our very best scientists have mysteriously died over the near past years?! What’s up with that?
That there is no non-Caucasian female crewmember speaks volumes.
NASA has been known for decades for hiring and promoting to meet identity class quotas prioritized over competency requirements, but evidently this assignment could not ignore competency requirements – and there were no qualified black or brown female candidates.
Because, if any were even remotely semi-qualified, rest assured one would have been part of the crew – probably the Commander.
NASA is probably in overdrive trying to find one for the next mission.
I much prefer AI to DEI.
A thousand thumbs up on that statement, Joe!
Me too. Post of the day.
‘You start off with “That there is no non-Caucasian female crewmember speaks volumes.”
IF any even remotely semi-qualified black or brown female candidates? ” .. “evidently this assignment could not ignore competency requirements” …. “NASA has been known for decades for hiring and promoting to meet identity class quotas prioritized over competency requirements.”
What are YOU trying to say here with personal injection and your own answer sans context and evidential records?
What do YOU know?
Is this the best volume you can muster in your speculation, re. (again) – sans context, historical precedence?
I wonder where the “we can’t get past the Van Allen Radiation Belt” nuts are now??
Well, as of now, there are at least four on this post: Filthy Liberals above and the three people who liked his comment.
I don’t subscribe, but I don’t blame people either. So much of public life has been Big Lies.
Expose, O, Lord–You are Truth!
Roaming around the flat earth trying not to fall off?
Obama enters the chat.
What does Obama have to do with “the Van Allen Radiation Belt” nuts”?
I’ll admit it, I’m one of those nuts.
Not that I know a lot about the Van Allen Radiation Belt or any other thing that those way smarter than me say makes going to the moon impossible for man.
Instead it is my conspiracy meter that has been on overdrive for so long that it makes everything — but God and my husband — questionable to me these days.
I watched the chimp go up into “space.” I watched all the launches that led to us landing on the moon. I went outside with my dad, starred up at the moon the day “One small step” took place and saw my dad take a photo of the moon at that moment. My dad’s been gone for over 30 years, but I still have the grainy polaroid he took that day.
I watched most of the launches long after people starting taking them as nothingburger everyday occurances. I thought it was all very interesting.
Then I heard all the data of all those first missions was “lost” and would need to be created again. What? How does that happen in a system that saves everything? I looked at the tin can that three men lived in, flew in and landed in. I looked at the videos shot, the videos sent back to earth and listened to the sounds from “outer space.” And I heard someone say it was interesting how we couldn’t call someone on the other side of the earth without wires being involved, but somehow we could use AT&T and our landline phone to call the moon. (Well, AT&T was a joke)
Just about everything that was said, including the almost impossible (for me to) believe idea that the spacesuits were so well built, so air tight that nothing could happen to the people who were out romping around on the moon.
Did we go to the moon in ’69? I’d like to think our government doesn’t lie to its citizens, but hey, I’ve come to realize that that’s exactly what they do most of the time, so why tell the truth about this great deception?
I have great love for our country and respect all the pioneers who fought and died and created and built what we call our home. And maybe, just maybe this flight around the moon actaully took place and we weren’t lied to. Maybe, just maybe they will take a flight to the moon and land there, and walk around, and do all the stuff that I don’t believe happened in 1969 and beyond.
We all know that evil plans and schemes that are real are often made into hollyweird movies. In that vein, here are a few movies to watch — and to give you more fodder to throw at nuts like me.
‘Fly Me To The Moon’ 2024 with Scarlett Johansson & Channing Tatum
‘Moonwalkers’ 2015 with Ron Perlman
‘Operation Avalanche’ 2016.
What a beautiful mission! I especially love the exact time of touchdown, 7:07 and 47 seconds.
Thank you for posting these links. I remember the excitement I felt when watching these incredible adventures over half a century ago. I wish we had continued then, but it’s wonderful to be back again.

I’m so happy for them!
Truthfully, I could not watch because the memory of the space shuttle Challenger blowing up is seared in my brain.
Maybe they will let them bring a working sat phone next time.
Or use a dedicated external antenna for the SAR radio (which I believe is VHF (aviation or maritime band)). Sat phone could use an external antenna too. Unless their external antennas were damaged. But if they’re using handhelds inside the metal spacecraft… that’s not going to work so well or at all.
As they blasted off, I couldn’t help but remember the Challenger disaster and held my breath…
So well done to everyone whose individual efforts contributed to this astounding success.
High Flight
Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of Earth
And danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings;
Sunward I’ve climbed, and joined the tumbling mirth
Of sun-split clouds, — and done a hundred things
You have not dreamed of — wheeled and soared and swung
High in the sunlit silence. Hov’ring there,
I’ve chased the shouting wind along, and flung
My eager craft through footless halls of air…
Up, up the long, delirious, burning blue
I’ve topped the windswept heights with easy grace
Where never lark, or even eagle flew —
The high untrespassed sanctity of space,
Put out my hand, and touched the face of God.
-John Gillespie Magee Jr
Welcome home, brave souls…
“Congratulations to the Great and Very Talented Crew of Artemis II. The entire trip was spectacular, the landing was perfect and, as President of the United States, I could not be more proud! I look forward to seeing you all at the White House soon. We’ll be doing it again and then, next step, Mars!”
Some non-AI from the past:
“In the years ahead, America will go bigger, bolder, further, faster, and America will go first. America’s proudest moments are still ahead.”
Rest in the Vine: Lift-Off For Space X / NASA!: You Can’t Spell Triumph Without Trump!
All the pics are great but that last one is my absolute favorite.
I know, right?
Yes sir, dear Gipper…
The pioneers.
Each mission added to the knowledge garnered on the ones before.
God bless their memories.
Indeed, sister Betsy.
“Houston, we have a Buzz!”
Awesome 👍🏻!!!
Leave it to the reprehensible media, their shallow minds infected with godless ideologies. They simply cannot help themselves.
NASA pilot Victor Glover is asked “what it means to be the first black man to visit the moon.”
His answer…
“It’s the story of humanity, not black history, not women’s history, but that it becomes human history.”
I’m sure the answer was completely lost on whoever asked it.
What a beautiful answer!
All made in God’s image.
I imagine seeing what he saw would strengthen anyone’s faith and certainty in our Creator. How could it not?
I saw it live, having engineered some excuse or another to leave class and slip into the school library. Our librarian loved me and told me to wait a moment while she turned on the tv so we could watch the launch. Such a sad moment in time.
But one glorious moment as well…God bless the librarian who loves you. And you as well, Unconquered..
Just think if we hadn’t had Bush 1, Clintoon, Bushie 2, Oblameo, & a Marionette for Presidents. 8 Presidential tours of demise for this awesome Republic that almost was lost, now is found and may the battles be won. God willing and God Bless the US.
Didn’t Obama say they the Muslims had a large roll in the American space program! I remember when he said that and I couldn’t believe no one challenged him ….like.”please give us an example.” But, then I just read that the Alamo is actually a Muslim structure…imagine that!
Very cool.
That photo is definitely going into my photo album….didn’t think I’d get so teary watching the crew emerge from the capsule. It certainly brought back memories from the first moon walk all those years ago.
With all the truly depressing events and evil going on…it feels GOOD to have a sense of pride and patriotism, even for a brief time before the liberals attempt to destroy it.
I often wondered where my g-g-grandparents got the name for my g-grandmother, Artemissa. Then several years ago I was flipping through an old Better Homes and Gardens magazine and came across a flower called Artemisia. Since I doubt they were into Greek mythology, I’m guessing she was named for the flower.
very glad the mission was successful. 👏🏻
but can’t stop wondering as to the explanation for why NASA
isn’t repeating the crewed moon landings of 1969 through 1972.
has their emphasis on DEI, woke-ism, and muslim outreach not advanced NASA sufficiently
in the intervening 5 decades to reproduce the achievements of a bunch of
chain smoking, hard drinking, sleep deprived guys with buzz cuts and narrow ties?
or perhaps i’m just a little cranky today.😂
wondering as to the explanation for why NASA isn’t repeating the crewed moon landings of 1969 through 1972.
Well, because they are. 2028 scheduled.
fair enough.
seems they wanted to do a lunar orbit trial run after all these years?
Yes. Just like the pre-Apollo 11 missions.
Artemis has different ground crews, different spaceflight crews, different engineers, different management, and significantly different spacecraft from the Apollo times.
Testing is absolutely required.
This isn’t some stupid Internet startup with the motto “go fast and break things.”
The result of this last flight was remarkable. So much went exceedingly well.
I’m excited for them land on the moon, but it has to be done right.
good analysis, thank you.
still…i kinda miss those buzz cuts.😂
Really? You weren’t here in 1969 when we went to the moon? Or are you one of those non-believers who say it was a hoax?
This was supposed to be a reply to Readyandable1 shown a few posts down the page. Don’t know why it posted here.
Riveting. Space exploration always leaves me in awe of, and very grateful for, what the human mind, body, and spirit can achieve.
Expensive yes, but the exploration? PRICELESS.
BTW, great photo of the astronauts floating next to their (very) charred chariot.
Thank God for their safe return. Onward and upward!
It’s fake, not a photo. See the up posts.
Ugh. So disappointing. Not the fake photo per se, but the “need” for it. So many awesome real photos to be seen.
So sick of deceit, in every aspect of our lives. Also, the need to always be alert to it, to approach so much with cynicism.
Yet another “gift” from AI.
I was an army private, sitting on my bunk bed in the dead of night watching on a tiny b&w tv on a neighboring bunk as Neil Armstrong took his first step onto the lunar surface . Most of my buddies and I had seen Stanley Kubrick’s 2001, A Space Odyssey the year before but now, in the early morning hours of July 20, 1969, science fiction has become reality.
Artemis II is an amazing accomplishment, but if anyone told any of us in that Fort Eustis, VA barracks back then that 57 years later we still wouldn’t have a moon base we’d have laughed in their faces!
“…if anyone told any of us in that Fort Eustis, VA barracks back then that 57 years later we still wouldn’t have a moon base, we’d have laughed in their faces!”
Yes, as I mentioned above, it is a failure of nerve on the part of Republicans and a success for the America-hating Communist DEMS!
In watching the return, I was surprised at the emotion displayed by broadcasters on several networks. This was the greatest thing ever. Then I realized that all this was brand new to the last couple of generations. I’m in my late 70’s and I remember the Apollo missions well. The last two generations or so don’t and don’t know much of anything about them. The last 2 living Apollo astronauts are in their 90’s. All this is brand new to America.
Bernie Taupin wrote some great lyrics when he wrote “Rocket Man.” Here’s Elton singing it over superb NASA footage. The machines burning out into the heaven zone…
William Shatner has a great rendition of it.
Leading up to splashdown the broadcast I watched had a young woman interviewing a few members of the recovery crew aboard U.S.S. Murtha. One of the interviewees was a young woman from a country in South America, Columbia, I think. That young woman said she’d watched the Shuttle Launches with her mom starting at when she was seven years of age. She said that, then & there, she decided she wanted to be a part of space exploration. Now she’s working for NASA. It’s amazing how inspiring seeing all those people work together can be. I was was hoping that, during the lead-up to splashdown, some uniformed or non-uniformed official aboard the Murtha would say something like, “We are grateful to every Citizen of the American Republic for sharing with us in this tremendous collaborative effort. As Americans, we really are all in this together.” It’s a fact, because we really are. Keep on rockin’ y’all.
Praising God for man gifted with understanding and abilities to create intricare mechanism to traverse space defying and right use of gravity and physics!
By developing technologies to traverse space, humanity acknowledges the intricate design of the universe, using scientific discoveries to glorify the One who set the stars in their place and granted humans the dominion to explore it.
The human ability to understand and manipulate the laws of physics—such as gravity—to explore space a divine gift, reflecting the Imago Dei (Image of God) in humanity.
This capacity for scientific discovery and technological innovation is an act of worship and stewardship, fulfilling the emphasis creation mandate to “subdue” and have “dominion” over the earth (Genesis 1:28), which extend to the cosmos.
Praise and Glory Be the God, ever faithful, ever true! Thanksgiving to God of Creation for keeping all on this mission safe and sustaining them throughout. To all who though, many unseen, have their part in this mission from lunch to return.
AMEN!
Remember when Barry “repurposed” NASA to be “muslim outreach”? That set our space initiative back at least a decade. The only reason it came back is Pres Trump revived it during his first term.
This was waaaay overdue, but a congratulations is definitely deserved. Good job, NASA.
Obama and all leftists have stunted vision. Their “progressive”, leftist politics are regressive in virtually every way. They lack vision and creativity so they steal from those who have it. No wonder they live the CCP and their surrogates.
That’s the last time we let those guys take a brand new spacecraft out for the weekend. Just look at it. It is all dirty and dinged up. I bet they left the ashtrays full and beer cans under the seat.
Kids these days…
Make America Space Travelers Again!
Loved it!!
Hell yeah! Maybe people downplay this, but this is great! Colonizing the moon opens up a new avenue of resource development and extraction. Same with Mars and the asteroid belt. If the “green energy” people care about the environment then they should be happy with the results of this mission.
They didn’t even land on the moon.
