"Anyone else excited about the Artemis II trip. Feels amazing just the much humans have been able to achieve
No. Dreadful waste of money. Guess it beats blowing up civilians with other rockets."
Why do you think it's a waste of money? |

"Actually, no. It’s not as big a deal as landing on the moon, nor can it be reused like the shuttle. Not much to show for 50 years progress. "
Good point... however I've been told progress isn't always linear, also apparently, this is the farthest we've ever gone |

That what they said to James Watt when he wanted to build a stean train ..."
Right, I felt the same way as well. Research & innovation costs a lot of money until it yields results. |

Yes, it is the furthest. It would be have been better to have landed on the moon and set up a base. The furthest is only a few extra hours of time and not overly complicated. |

Yeah it's pretty cool IMHO
This is just a "sighting" mission, check the systems and tech. Obviously the loo will need some improvements, probably designed by Woolowitz.
Should have used the Saniflo 33. That little babe can cope with anything, and I mean anything...

I dread to think how much oil/fuel has been used for it and how much worse it's added to global heating.
I'm not positive about creating a moon base either, to exploit resources there.
It's partly an ego thing for Trump and competition between countries. It's a technical achievement at much too high a cost for us |
