1:00 I thought we already know what the moon is made of. Didn't the Apollo missions bring back a lot of moon rocks and materials from the surface of the moon?

I hope some of those cubesats are paying $100, 000, 000 each to cover the cost of this expendable 1 launch a year money pit. I'll be watching cuz I love rockets but this thing is already obsolete and will only get maybe 3- 4 launches, and rightfully so

00:25 "We're taking a lot of cool science along
with us on this FIRST mission to the moon."

I thought 'we' went to the moon in the 1970s.
Several times. With carts and golf clubs, and stuff.
Any advice ?
