Artemis II - NASA going around the moon!

[Cryptoprincess101]

I saw many people on social media platforms making mockery of the NASA Artemis II and saying it isn't real that America is just trying to spread a propaganda. Anyways, we await the return of the astronauts who travelled to the moon, i hope they bring more precise information about lunar science. I read that NASA has released stunning Earthset image

Man goes back to the moon for the first time in 50 years and nobody here is excited about it? I find that a bit surprising. I’m going to buy so much of the SpaceX IPO in June… It is obvious people have absolutely no clue about what is coming in the next couple of years.

with all the things going on in our world, i guess people are already too occupied that they no longer have the time to appreciate this. human kind is still amazing despite everything that is going on. there’s still more for us to discover and do.

I think people just lack interest in space for the most part.  Once we start launching ships every hour and building manufacturing plants on the moon, people will have lots more to say on the subject.  I'm glad the astronauts are on their way home now and look forward to all the data they will bring back with them to be used in future missions.

1. To the stars by atom bomb: The incredible tale of the top secret Orion Project shows us that moon travel could have been done rather easily back in the late '50s and early '60s.

Project Orion "failed" primarily because of the 1963 Partial Test Ban Treaty, which banned nuclear explosions of ANY kind, even if used as propulsion. It also raised concern about nuclear fallout since the explosions would release radioactive exhaust into the atmosphere, which could poison us long term.

Indeed we had the technology to go to the moon earlier than 1969, and if it wasn't for these concerns, Project Orion could've been a success and could also have been what brought us to the moon earlier. That doesn't really prove that the moon landing of 1969 was faked.

2. Common sense and the evidence show us that NASA and science don't show us what they are really doing.

What common sense? Again, why would they have faked the moon landing? Remember, almost half a million people worked on the Apollo project, yet we have ZERO whistleblowers who've come out and said that the moon landing was faked. In addition, the Soviet Union literally came out and congratulated the Americans for landing on the moon; if the moon landing was faked, don't you think the Soviet Union would've made a fuss about it? This would've been the biggest propaganda piece of the century for them.

3. It's much easier making a movie than really doing the thing. Even the videos of the actual testing of #1, above, show that space travel could have been done back then if JFK hadn't stopped it. Or was it his handlers that stopped it by controlling him?

Again, where are the whistleblowers? You're honestly going to tell me that the US government managed to silence almost half a million people for decades after the launch? Just doing that would've been more expensive long-term than actually going to the moon...

It pains me sometimes that I most probably will never get to go up and see space for myself, that's something I wanted to do ever since I was a kid.

Meh, it is what it is.

This airspace mission to the moon has more agenda they have in mind than what has been publicized on the media as reason why they are taken this journey, we can remember the last time astronaut went to the moon being a while, now we don't know what they are trying to ascertain from this because it cost a lot to embark on this kind of journey and you can't expect to see that the reason does not go beyond what we hear from the social media.

[BADecker]

Why does one side of the moon always stay 'pointed' at the Earth? It's because of gravity. The side that faces the Earth is way more massive than the other side. Earth's gravity pulls more strongly on this side.

What does this have to do with it? The Earth-facing side has heavy metals in it. We don't know what metals these metals are. Maybe NASA has figured it out. The metals might be gold, platinum, iridium, or only lead. But they could be other heavy metals, as well.

Looking to the future, NASA and scientists in general are starting with a program to get some of these metals. Gotta start somewhere.

In addition, the moon mining program would take a bunch of people away from wars on Earth. Do it now, while there is still time to do it, before everything financial collapses.

As we keep expecting our heroes, the mission has been calm and going as planned. NASA is breaking boundaries, technology is leading. Humans have evolved for many years and now is the real time to answer all the questions that has been unknown. This is the farthest distance ever travelled by humans and worthy of nothing is the first woman to reach such high altitude, Christina Koch. What has caught your fantasy so far?

Between today and tomorrow, the world will be on the stand still hoping for their safe landing after covering a distance of 252,756 miles into the void space. Am I the only one worried about their safe reentry and Ocean landing?

Artemis II splashed down today at 8:07:20 pm EST.  Perfect on-target return
Waahoo!

Waahoo!

Waited for extraction took a while but they are on the ship sailing back to san deigo.

I watched the splash down but haven’t listened to any interviews yet. It’s on my list of things to do today. I’m also surprised the amount of moon landing deniers I’m seeing on social media.

[BADecker]

^^^ Yet, the deniers from the late 1950s and 1960s have enough evidence to make things questionable. And later, ISS critics who show that the videos of no-gravity on the ISS are really fake. Lots of logic to what they say.

Four points that can start to take you out of the dream that 'they' want you to believe:

1. NASA isn't necessarily going to show what is really going on because nobody shows top secret stuff.

2. The people have to be pacified that NASA funds from the government are being used for the benefit of the people, sort of. So, something has to be shown.

3. We have literal technology from the 1950s and 1960s that show that visits to all Sol planets were literally able to be done back then - https://refractor.io/space/to-the-stars-by-atom-bomb-the-incredible-tale-of-the-top-secret-orion-project/. So, maybe government has gone, and they haven't shown us.

4. AI tech in videos can make stuff look really real, so how do we know that it is not all fake, just like the movies.

I'm not saying that it is fake, but there are some points (lots more) that need to be answered clearly.

Before this departure, there was a lot of talk about registering personal names to be taken to the moon in X, is that true or not? I'm still questioning it, BTW I was there to slip the name.
And I still wonder about the truth...

How far has he flown? Has he seen me on the south side of the world?

I'm going to raise my hand and scream. lol
