It sure would be cool that when this over budget errand finally does land their diversity project on the surface of the moon, Elon and a couple dozen passengers were there to watch it land.

FAKE. many in the twitterverse and Reddit trolls are crying fake, it’s amusing and a little annoying that there are so many child brained people in this world trying to confuse and influence thoughts and ideas.

...before the next flight of Space Launch System for the Artemis II mission, currently scheduled for 2024.

This is why SpaceX was such a shock to me. They'd never say "yeah, then we're going to do the next thing in about two years". Once a task was completed by SpaceX, it's like they already had the next rocket on the pad. Amazing how quickly Musk's team got things done.

What can we mine on the Moon? Is Helium 3 a practical opportunity? I think we should start a FR VC fund to mine the Moon!

So I recall watching this movie in 1969.

Maybe NASA could update the script.

NASA’s Artemis schedules are based on the old Soviet five-years plans:

https://www.nasa.gov/missions/solarsystem/bush_vision.html

Oops:

https://physicsworld.com/a/obama-cancels-moon-return/

But—we really mean it this time:

“But the planned moon mission is expected to feature symbolic milestones of its own. The mission is named after the Greek goddess Artemis, who was Apollo’s twin sister. The name expresses one of the goals of the 2024 mission – to put the first female astronaut on the moon.”

Bwahahahahahaha.

They will need a bigger capsule to get all six hundred and sixty six genders on the capsule....all must step on the moon at the exact same nanosecond or we will never have equity in this universe....
