If I was on Artemis I'd spend the 40 minute radio blackout rigging all the clocks, logs, instrumentts etc to show that 6 hours had passed, then refuse to comment on what I'd seen on the far side.
This is probably why I'm not allowed on the Artemis.

@_thegeoff Reminds me of Collins' suggestion that Armstrong should step on the moon, exclaim "What the hell is this thing" and cut the mic. So you're in good company

@Quantensalat Conrad's first words on the surface (actually the landing pad) were something like "that may have been a small step for Neil, but it's a long way for a little guy like me" - he was easily the shortest of the Apollo astronauts.

@_thegeoff @Quantensalat I loved DangerMouse (Donnie Munro?🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 ) in the 'eighties and a line that stayed with me is;

Penfold: 'It may be one small step for a man, but it's a giant leap for a hamster!!'

i never knew (but should have guessed) there was a historical precedent🤣 🤣 🤣

Donnie Murdo for Dangermouse in Gàidhlig; Donnie Munro was the singer for Runrig.

@sjcooke66 @HighlandLawyer @Quantensalat Yeah, Penfold's solo stuff was just too self indulgent.
