Yeah, but they still don’t have a realistic plan to land astronauts there.

Like the space shuttle before it, Artemis proves that nobody can beat the US at spending money on boondoggles.

Lunar missions are inconsequential to problems here on Earth like we can’t afford to build high-speed rail and transit, that we can’t build housing affordable or otherwise, that we already lost the next war to Boeing and Lockheed-Martin, won’t build affordable electric cars, etc.

What we need is affordability porn!
