Eugen RochkoNormally I'd be more excited about a moon mission, but I'd vastly prefer if any other nation was doing it. Can't really care about it when the US is bombing civilian bridges in Iran and then bombing the first responders (and as of today, apparently announcing genocide. Not their first time, I guess).
Chris Hayes@Gargron As an American I also feel the same.
For one of my posts I did draft and delete a comment saying something similar, but didn't want to feel like a downer. I respect the honesty.
The other side of it is that the current US budget means NASA is killing science missions to ensure putting humans back on the moon is it's #1 priority. In 2026 I don't believe the scientific value is there to choose the least economic way to study the moon.
