#14  The article makes it sound like the only goal is to put a non-white woman on the moon.

#13  The cores for Artemis II and III are already finished and II is already at the Cape. Assuming all goes well, the per unit cost comes down with each new booster built

Still 3-4 orders of magnitude more expensive than Starship per kilo.

#12  #5 ^ Wouldn't it be a riot if it still runs? I'm sure the batteries are dead, but who knows?

...The batteries were probably drained within a day or so of each mission's departure - but I wonder if it would be possible to send up some solar panels to 'plug in' to the Rovers just to see if you could get the little guys running. If nothing else, it would be a fun experiment.

#11  Now even women can't be women. They are just not-men.

So, I can name my new band "Dick and the Four Non Grrrrlz?"

#10  Re #8, I am sure there will be a lawsuit by a trans person creature that will hold the whole thing up until 2074 at least.

#9  Oops, that was me. I find it amusing that the Demonrats and their new allies have essentially erased women. Now even women can't be women. They are just not-men.

#8  The article makes it sound like the only goal is to put a non-white woman on the moon. Did they consult with biologists to make sure they have actual women, I mean birthing people, I mean person with vagina's....errr, what is the proper term for what used to be called women?

#2  May the fire end of their rocket keep pointing towards Earth. Otherwise things are going very badly and you will not reach space.

#1  It has been a while @ NASA since this government organization has "reached for the Moon"; may the August 29th mission go without a hitch.
