Neil deGrasse Tyson On The Artemis Program 🤔

[Ofinfinitejest]

The legendary Arthur C. Clarke said that the pointless Vietnam War cost would have paid for both the large Moon base and trip to Jupiter depicted in "2001: A Space Odyssey, " but we chose the pointless war instead. We need science-based priorities, not corporate profits and power-based priorities.

This man is always making me think deeply on a daily.

We have wasted over $10 trillion dollars on wars we’ve started around the world for the past decades. We should thank China for wanting to explore the moon and beyond like we did before

[harrycordell]

You got it and I'm so happy you're in a place to be able to express what you know 😊

[janielea]

Wasn’t it reactive when US went to the moon in response to USSR Sputnik?

[floydstash]

Its not we who stopped the progression, its they. Ask any civillian if they wanted to continue and youll get a universal yes. So who started saying no and why, thats the question.

[yahoolane]

You need to watch: Apple TV, For all mankind. What the possibilities would have been, if we continue to fund NASA until it was self-sufficient.

[smokebluntsonn]

Why do we care so much if other countries visit the moon? This isn’t the 1960s anymore, If anything, none of this should be remotely close to a competition; these space agencies should be working together for the greater good of humanity .. but I guess that’s too much like right.. 🙄🤷🏾‍♂️

[Astralshadow]

America has for most of its history been a nation of reactivity then proactivity rarely have we ever done anything of our volition instead it was always in response to what another nation or group did.

[fernandomedinasantos]

It's called confort zone, for 50 years😅

[edl]

Great point. But we didn’t thanks to dumb politicians

[SESO]

i know somebody will say

"wHaT dO yOu mEaN bY cHiNa wAnTs tO gO bAcK tO tHe mOoN"

he meant going to the moon by the human species not ethnicity

[dire]

I really do wish people would understand just how massive of a difference it would make if we were a space faring civilization even if it’s just in our solor system, the growth would be so exponential. Once one space habitat is build that can consistently gather resources 1000s could be put up right after. The only thing humans would struggle with would be having enough kids to keep up with it all

[califuturist]

Makes one wonder what else Americans have been complacent with: poverty, medicine, education, government, etc, etc.

[inotmark]

Yeah, but.... so many wars, so little

[Rozilla_]

It's like Rocky 🥊🥊🥊 you gotta have a bad guy

[jameswhicher]

i wanted a chinese takeaway for dinner tonight. i was proactive in reacting. 👌🏻

[Blitzkit]

You gotta say US never really wanted to go the moon because it's too $$$ expensive.

But russia did went outer space, few more years they might land on the moon.

So yeah US did react on that situation

[lylekimberly]

"Why are we not going to the moon whats happening?" *Finds this video* WAIT A DAMN MINUTE-

[anthonytindle]

It's like the tortoise and hare race, we in the west ran the race and have been sleeping for decades and whilst we have been sleeping the eastern countries ( the tortoise ) has caught us up and are now advancing further.
