Russell GarnerDon't want to piss on anyone's chips, and I definitely tuned in, but I'm slightly underwhelmed by us going for a jaunt round the moon. Everything is so dire down here, I'd be happier to see clean energy initiatives, or diplomatic breakthroughs, or the puncturing of the worldwide far right. I don't derive a lot of hope from seeing people burn more fuel to do things we've already done, this isn't For All Mankind.

Also hank green had a recent video about the scientific benefits of re-visiting the moon with scientific technology that is 50 years newer, it was pretty interesting.
