Godspeed Artemis II

All of your blind dates must have ended spectacularly.
Racism exists because everyone knows blacks are mentally inferior. The evidence is overwhelming

1. Black-americans come in last in all standardized tests. Asian-americans do fine on all the tests so it's not due to cultural bias in the tests.

2. Africa is by far the poorest and most backward continent on the planet. All of black africa is now controlled by blacks and has been for decades so it's not due to racism.

3. No black has ever won a Science Nobel Prize unless you count one in 1979 for the semi-science of economics. They have won many nobels in non-brain fields like Peace and also in Literature so it is not due to racism.

4. Out of 1552 chess grandmasters in the world, only THREE are black.

ARTEMIS II CREW SPEAKS FROM SPACE: “We are definitely 100% on our way to the moon.""The lunar gravity will take over in a couple of days here and start pulling us around the far side.""At the end of our translunar injection here, about an hour and a half ago, we just really looked at each other — and I know the United States has done this 1968 through 1972 — but it's just, this is unbelievable, that we can put our minds to something and pull it off.""This is an unbelievable technical accomplishment.”

==========================

We did that 60 years ago.....have you anything new to offer?

No?
 
Nobody has gone further than the moon.
Correct.

@Cypress During a discussion on teaching at my group meeting yesterday, Neil deGrasse Tyson's Congressional testimony supporting funding NASA came up.

If you want to build a ship, don’t drum up people to collect wood and don’t assign them tasks and work, but rather teach them to long for the endless immensity of the sea. — Antoine St. Exupery.

Exploring is in our DNA. That's why early Homo Sapiens are the only species of great ape that dispersed across the entire planet except for Antarctica.

Neil is a good spokesperson for science.

It still seems remarkable that it only took eight years from when JFK said we will land a man on the moon to when the Apollo 11 lunar module touched down. That is lightening fast.

Also remarkable is to go from the Wright Brothers at Kill Devil Hills to Armstrong and Aldrin at Tranquility Base in 66 years.

At this stage of life on Earth, these types of endeavors are a serious waste of resources and MONEY. And let's get real ..... a generation from now MAY see a fledging "moonbase".... but that will NOT be available for the average working stiff, as will any type of "commercial" flights to a orbital space station, or even suborbital commercial flights across the globe.

Sorry to be a buzz kill, as I've been a sci-fi movie and book nut since I was a kid. But reality is what it is.
