That sure is a "minority centric" group of astronauts. The best team is collected from the best quality applicants of ALL backgrounds.

We were there in 1969? And we are struggling to get there now, with no astronauts. WTF.

NASA should leaver the Heavy Lifting to Mr. Musk and his SpaceX.

[PureAmericanPatriot]

NASA: It all comes down to leadership and ROI.

SpaceX: NASA has had a return, let alone a profitable one?

Time for civilian space exploration to be returned entirely to the private sector....we'll all be better off.

[angrycheetos]

With all the financial problems America is having how can we possibly justify spending tens of millions on this??? For something that will never benefit your average person.

[danielroberts]

Interview an astronaut that’s awake the next time.

[dmtmediabrothers]

We WERE the country that made the impossible is possible.

Send the puppet one way to the moon and let him stay there.

[LUISNEVESable]

Use the money to feed the hungry and house the homeless right here on earth you bunch of hipsters 🤨

[DieterHageman]

next scientific mission, drop a woman on the moon with AI piloted craft.

[matteodesimio]

ARTEMIS, KEEP TRYING, MAYBE SOMEDAY.

[Jonwick]

I think the reason they want to do it is to prove they did it before 😂

[johnfowler]

Spent 4 minutes watching this and I'm wondering why.

[georgesabol]

As an American I love my Country. I appreciate NASA but I'm deeply concerned that we can't launch.
The Russians seem to do it effortlessly. I'm not comparing us to them, but why ? They've had years to get this right. More than a decade. Are our engineers slipping? The space shuttle also too many painful delays.
I'm not saying to hurry up and have an accident, but why are we lagging? Kennedy threw down a gauntlet, it was done in less time, on time.
Are these problems caused by slipshod engineering designs, shoddy workmanship or other. I want us back on top, second to no other. These delays & previously begging the Russians for a ride, are a bit demoralizing.
Please get it right!!!

Why now? How about after midterms. Look at this shinny object over here.

[vblic]

Going to the moon to recover transformer technology. Megatron is trying to get there first, we have to stop that. LOL

[rogerarmstrong]

We should be more concerned about what goes on in this world. That money would be better spent here to improve life on this planet. Go to any big city and look around. It breaks your heart to see what is happening look at our forests are rivers are air I am no tree hugger but it is undeniable we need to do a better job.

[GGR]

if only they'd stop skimping on repairs and istead of paying handymen, cash, to do the work, start using professionals....

[eddiekulp]

Every picture or video of SLS shows dark clouds, not promising for a launch with such strict weather conditions. Apollo would launch in rain, storms, lightning . The Russians in 30 below blizzards. This vehicle to fragile or NASA to cautious

What a waste of tax money, but I’m used to see my taxes tossed in the toilet for the past 2 years
