@logicalerror 1. it's "just" a flyby mission 2. the US already landed people on the moon over half a century ago 3. it's entirely politically motivated, just like last time
@logicalerror Oh, it's nice enough that they are but it's _really hard_ to cheer the US right now, even if I have nothing against their astronauts and I'm fond of NASA.
@tluther yup, totally get why, but 10 years ago people would've been all over this and now it's crickets .. it just shows how much the world changed in such a short amount of time
