Very nice launch
Finally! Glad to see they finally got it off the ground and on it's way.
Any thoughts @Rocky Raab?
What a waste of tax dollars. SpaceX and others do it cheaper and faster for a lot less money. NASA was great in the 1950's into the 1970's. Putting a man on the moon over 50 years ago, before real computers, was pure genius.
Today private launches are becoming almost as common as calling a Uber to go to your hotel. A moon shot should have been done 100 times by now but the only way to do it affordably is private industry into the future.
My thoughts? They should rename Artemis to Fiasco. Just one Artemis launch costs almost as much as the entire Apollo program. And then can't even land on the moon. They have to hire a private company to fly to the moon with a taxi that will take astronauts from Artemis to the surface. Who? SpaceX.
Just remember the USA has tons of money . If they need anymore they will just print it or raise taxes
I like when they say the moon and beyond while launching it! The Government has been saying they are going to Mars now for 40 years,probably too many secrets up there to get it done right now.
