people really are forgetting nasa launched artemis 2 today and it took them like 11 apollos to get anything on the moon in the first place. the moon landing wasnt faked just because we didn't go straight back there after apollo. doing a loop around the moon is not a waste of time. i need some people to shush for a few minutes and acknowledge the scientific process and the huge process we've made since the early 1970s. sending people to the moon now is very different to then, the scientific goals are different, the rockets are different, the technology is different. no one went to the moon for 50+ years because it's expensive and there wasn't anything there we needed to risk people's lives for, not because it was faked for some space race clout or something. and now we have reasons to go back so we are, because humans are cool and good at exploring. sure they're not landing but it's only artmis 2, of at least 5 planned, and they're pushing the boundaries of what we've already done massively right now, no one has ever been so far from earth before, it's so exciting and it's a huge scientific advancement and i neeeeed people to remember that landing on the moon is not the only worthwhile goal
