you still haven’t taken a picture of earth though, i will admit it is pretty pretty hard to look for

or charlie brown cuz there’s a snoopy doll on it, your answer is probably more likely tho

space is a totally different environment and can provide countless unique benefits you wouldn’t get on earth, and nasa is only half a percent of the total us budget

please don’t reply i don’t wanna be in a 20 comment rdeditd argument, i’m just saying your mind set is archaic and you could say the same thing about anything that isn’t instantly beneficial to humanity, like the military which gets over half of the us budget and is literally a department working on better ways to make us go extinct

definitely within this decade i believe, we might even have a rudimentary moon base and gateway station, all we're waiting on now is spacex to develop the lander really

this is just a hand picked selection of 20, now imagine the discoveries a moon base would bring

spacex i believe still has the contract for the lander, it’s basically a modified starship second stage that will be a reusable single stage lander lander that would never see earth again

what do you mean they didn’t hype it up, they had over 400k viewers on just the main youtube live stream, and the general public isn’t going to care until they’re landing humans

what do you want to see, the inside of a dark fairing as it launches, and the cgi was fine

what other people said but bruh, they just launched artemis 1 and will wait for the crucial data from that mission for any necessary changes, it’s better to be safe then have 4 dead astronauts around the moon
