Everyone trashing the SLS but hey....At least they are FINALLY trying something. It's also critical to have redundancy.

OMG Here we go again. They are sending an unmanned rocket to go around the moon not land on it. In about 100 years we hope to send a real human to the moon.

What I dont understand China had 2000 years couldnt land on moon but US did in 60 years

The south pole is pretty cold, but at least you get sunlight all year, on the equator you get 14 days of sunlight and 14 days of darkness...

Billions to re-use old Space Shuttle engines and solid rocket boosters? What a joke!

[ILoveCrepes]

I am so excited for Artemis. If all goes well starship takes over for the lunar lander. Delivering the first astronauts.

‘Sustained colonies’ — good grief, we aren’t even sustaining our own natural habitable world!

China: we go to mooon

Took way too long.. <3.. 10 years ago people would have said this is a waste.. but this is what we need.. to get out there into the deep as far as we possibly can.. maybe eventually we will one day deserve the right to as well..

2026??!!!! wth i wish they do it a bit faster

[mikebarnes]

If the technology exists, why test to see if it is safe for astronauts?

[radiantlandscapesphotograp]

What are the names of the dummies they are putting on there? Is Kanye West going?

[moriwaki]

The money wasted on this is spend it on looking after the Earth Waste.
