After I found out that this vehicle was more powerful than the Saturn V, I had to know everything about it and now I do, These rocket engines are Astounding, They are fueled by cryogenic liquid Hydrogen and liquid oxygen, Thanks Cosmoknowledge. 🚀

One of the main reasons that the US got into space travel was the fear that the USSR would nuke them from orbit or build long ranged ballistic missiles.
truth is most of the space race wasn't about space it was about showing the other how their nukes could reach the other side.
So, to sum up without the second world war and the Sovit union space may not be as large as it is.

I have a book from the 80’s that talked about getting us humans off Earth and then to the Moon and beyond. One segment said NASA planned to use the Space Shuttle to transport stuff to the Moon. Um, no. The goals now seem reachable, but we’ll see how much we do with what we have. I’d rather see us go 240, 000 miles in a few days that 240 Million to Mars that will take months or even years.

Hey, can you folks grab those spacesuit boot overlays still on the moon....Apparently, NASA ALEDGES that the astronauts tossed out their spacesuit boot overlays before lift off from the lunar surface....So, how many pairs of the spacesuit boot overlays still remain on the lunar surface 😳🤔

America and the president should be supporting Elon in every way. The diversity angle is completely stupid but hey whatever helps I guess

I'm really sorry Cosmo, but this video attracted lots of bots and zombies. NASA is doing this for humanity but, we still got a lot of enemies. Either within or outside, some brains still lives at early 20th century and lower.

I have a better idea - how about if we just send the BEST QUALIFIED PEOPLE and STOP worrying about DIVERSITY!
DIVERSITY is a TOTAL WASTE of TIME and RESOURCES.

Praise God the Creator for what He has made!

How Does Artemis Differ From Apollo Mission? It would be the first time we've been there. I'm no 'flat earther' or heavy duty conspiracy theorist, but WHY has NO other nation landed a man on the moon in 30+ years? Cuz' it wasn't possible.

If you’re born male and of white skin colour forget applying for this job - even if you’re the best person for it. Good to see racism and sexism is still alive and kicking!

A bit of dramatic music, a pinch of diversity and a whole lot of nonsense futuristic aspirations and bingo, you got yourself a wasteful project. I would like to see the full financial breakdown of this project. How does it make sense at least for the near foreseeable future. Money and talents much better spent on unmanned projects.
